HERE<\/a><\/strong> to view his full pre-match media conference.<\/p>\nThe recent upswing in Glory\u2019s fortunes has been based on their performances on the road which have seen them secure the fifth-highest away points tally in the competition.<\/p>\n
Only one victory has been recorded at home thus far, however and Griffiths is desperate to improve that statistic, starting by downing the Mariners this weekend.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to make our home ground our fortress,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s going to be the focus moving forward now because we know if we can do that, then we know that we\u2019re going to have more consistency in our performance and we can attack the rest of the season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we step out onto the pitch at HBF, the mentality needs to be right and we have to be ready to attack the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re looking at how we can improve how we want to play and we continue to focus on areas where we need to improve, while also doubling down on the areas we have improved in already and continuing to up our levels every single day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like our performances have been strong\u2026 we do need to improve our home form and that\u2019s going to be the focus.<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce we can get that consistency, I think the players will really thrive on the home support, start to take that pressure off and really excel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Victory over Central Coast would potentially move Glory to within one point of the Finals spots as we approach the halfway point of the season and the Head Coach is looking for his charges to buck the topsy-turvy nature of this year\u2019s competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe league is so tight at the moment\u2026 you get a couple of wins and you skyrocket right up into the [top] six,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery single team is beating each other and the teams that get consistency are going to be the teams that move forward.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we want to look for too, so every game for us is 100% focused on getting three points.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you perform well, eventually the consistency happens with results and points.\u201d<\/p>\n
In terms of Saturday\u2019s opponents, meanwhile, Griffiths believes they could deploy a number of different tactical approaches at HBF Park as they look to build upon an impressive 4-0 victory over Adelaide United last time out.<\/p>\n
\u201cAgainst Adelaide they stepped up and they pressed Adelaide and got some joy from that,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo potentially they could do that, but in the previous game, it was more of a low block and we would have to try and break that down.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo you never know what a team is going to bring and we\u2019ll be prepared for anything.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen we see tactical changes, we\u2019ll make those changes in the game and the players are smart enough to adjust to those things.\u201d<\/p>\n
In terms of early team news, Griffiths revealed that although they will not feature this weekend, attacking trio Jaiden Kucharski, Seb Despotovski and Lachie Wales are all on track to be back in action within the next couple of weeks, while skipper Adam Taggart is in contention to start having been used off the bench in the last two games.<\/p>\n
Glory will be out to snap a five-game winless run against the Mariners in what will be the 59th overall A-League meeting between the two sides.<\/p>\n
Warren Moon\u2019s men claimed maximum points at HBF Park back in Round 4 courtesy of Bailey Brandtman\u2019s spectacular second-half strike, but they then lost five of their next six before returning to the winners\u2019 circle with that away thumping of Adelaide United last weekend.<\/p>\n
Northern Irish midfielder Alfie McCalmont is their leading scorer with three, while Brandtman, Lucas Mauragis, Sabit James and Miguel Di Pizio have all chipped in with two.<\/p>\n
Veteran Socceroos hero Andrew Redmayne has impressed in goal, making 44 saves and keeping three clean sheets and former Glory man Storm Roux has again been a key figure at the back, along with Bradley Tapp.<\/p>\n
