North Queensland Fury manager Ian Ferguson says his side will bounce back from their 5-1 home loss to the Central Coast Mariners.
For the Fury the night was a tale of missed opportunities. Osama Malik was denied barely a minute before Mariner Pedj Bojic opened the scoring after forcing a one-on-one with Central Coast keeper Danny Vukovic.
The Fury had several solid chances early in the match, but couldn’t find the finishing touch.
“On a different day it could have been a different story," Ferguson said.
"The difference out there tonight was the Mariners were clinical, we also missed five or six chances.
“But we’ve shown we can comeback from tough losses and I know the boys won’t be giving up – they’ll be back next week to so they’re a better side than we saw against the Mariners.”
Ferguson conceded his team didn’t have the defensive discipline needed to shut out the Mariners who were again in rare form with their shots on target.
After conceding five for the second time this season, the Fury Coach was understandably disappointed in the defensive effort.
“The defence was all over the place, we tried a couple of things and as a result of those, those two goals.”
