One blunder is all that separated the Newcastle Jets and Sydney FC on the scoresheet at the break.

Alex Brosque gave the Sky Blues the lead after he got on the end of a good ball in from Rhyan Grant, but Jets goalkeeper Glen Moss could have done more to keep

The home side have plenty of work to do against a refreshed Sydney side, who had expected the Jets to come out blazing after a slow start to their season.

Heading into round four, Sydney were on top of the ladder, while Newcastle were last with just one point, prior to Saturday’s NSW derby at McDonald Jones Stadium.

“They have had a slow start and I think we need to be ready for that,” Sydney coach Steve Corica said.

“They will come out all guns blazing. We need to be ready for that especially the first 10 to 15 minutes.

“We know that and we respect that, so we need to be prepared and ready for what they are going to throw at us.” Corica didn’t foresee too many, if any, changes to the side which scored a 3-0 last-start away win over Melbourne City.
