Fit Keogh ready for Wanderers in A-League
Feb 21, 2017 - 6:34 AM Perth striker Andy Keogh is ready to return from a hamstring injury and hopes his team can continue their attacking mojo in Saturday night's A-League clash with Western Sydney.Keogh could only watch on from the sidelines in frustration last week as the Glory were forced to settle for a 2-2 A-League draw against Brisbane in Perth.
A week earlier, Keogh tweaked his hamstring in the opening five minutes against Adelaide, but he played on for another 55 minutes and ended up scoring a goal in the 5-0 rout.
Keogh has nine goals for the season, while teammates Adam Taggart (10 goals), Diego Castro (eight) and Nebojsa Marinkovic (five) have also been prolific.
All up, Glory have scored 38 goals this campaign, ranking them third in the league.
But it's in defence where they have struggled, conceding 37 goals to be ranked equal-second worst in that department.
"We're attacking quite fluidly," Keogh said.
"It's good that we've got more than just one person scoring this season.
"If we can just stop conceding as many, I think a lot more teams will take a lot more notice of us."
The Glory sit fifth on the ladder, but are just two points adrift of third spot.
The sixth-placed Wanderers Sydney are brimming with confidence after ending Sydney FC's unbeaten season last weekend with a 1-0 victory.
But they've been dogged by more off-field problems, with the club issued a show-cause notice over an offensive banner displayed by supporters during the win over Sydney.
