Glory remain free-flowing: Djulbic

Glory remain free-flowing: Djulbic

Defender Dino Djulbic says Perth Glory will not stop playing free-flowing soccer, even if they continue conceding goals to their title rivals.

The league leaders have recorded just two clean sheets in 15 matches this season, with both achieved against the A-League's bottom sides.

They rallied from two goals down with 14 minutes to play against Melbourne Victory at nib Stadium on Sunday night and salvaged a thrilling 3-3 draw with late goals to Rostyn Griffiths and Jamie Maclaren.

All three of Victory's goals came from defensive errors, with Josh Risdon twice giving up the ball to leave Glory exposed down back.

Perth next face a rejuvenated Sydney FC at home on February 7, the Sky Blues buoyant after thumping a hapless Central Coast Mariners 5-1.

But Djulbic said the team had no plans to go into defensive lockdown to shore up its place at the top of the A-League table.

"The best players in the world make mistakes and so do our players," Djulbic said.

"We've just got to look at it and make sure we don't make the same mistakes again.

"We're top of the league. I'll take 3-1, 4-3 for us any day.

"We just play a little bit of open football and you concede occasionally. That's what happens."

Forward Chris Harold had scans on his injured right ankle yesterday after badly twisting the joint in the first half.

Results are expected to be known this morning, although Glory are bracing to be without the 22-year-old for a lengthy spell.
