Ange Postecoglou says the Roar have proven themselves at home with two first-up wins, and this weekend away to Newcastle they will be going full throttle to prove that they can be just as formidable on the road.

Brisbane have started the season with a game an hour away on the Gold Coast, a bye, and two home games at Suncorp Stadium.

And with a game in hand the Roar sit third on the ladder, trailing Adelaide and Perth, but Postecoglou knows away wins will be crucial this season and his team will be hunting the three points on their first long-distance trip.

"The key about winning at home is you have to pick up points away to make them count even more, so we have to down there and get a result for sure," Postecoglou said.

"Any points you pick up will be precious points. If you look at the A- League at the moment, no one can tell me that anyone's a shoe-in to win any game."

"If you have a good home record that gives you a good chance to play finals, but obviously the teams that can pick up more points away will be more successful."

"I don't think we can be (more conservative) with the players we've got, and we don't want to be.

"We'll go there and play the same football that we've played."

Brisbane's aggressive play has paid dividends early this season and Postecoglou is proud of their strong start against quality opposition, consisting of three of last season's four highest finishers.

But while the Roar coach says the success continue to pour in if they can maintain their standards, he acknowledges the all-out approach leaves them open to the counter attack and they'll be forced to do it tough at some stage in the season.

"Everywhere we go we'll take the game to them. It means we take some risks, but we're prepared for that and that's the kind of team we want to be."

"We'll get bitten on the bum a few times this season for sure, but if we keep the q...

Brisbane Roar coach Ange Postecoglou has promised to deliver an attacking style of football where ever his side play, starting this Sunday against Newcastle Jets at EnergyAustralia Stadium.

After a short road trip to the Gold Coast and two home games in a row, this weekend marks the first ‘real’ away trip for Brisbane and Postecoglou made it clear his side won’t take a conservative approach into the game.

“I don’t think we can be with the type of players we’ve got and we don’t want to be,” Postecoglou said.

“Everywhere we go we’ll take the game to them and it means we take some risks but we’re prepared for that and that’s the kind of team we want to be.

“I’m sure we’ll get bitten on the bum a couple of times this year but at the same time I think if we can keep our quality of play up more often than not, we’ll get the right result.”

After back-to-back wins at home, the former Young Socceroos coach said it was just as important to collect the three points on the road.

Over the past few seasons Brisbane has had an excellent away record, but Postecoglou said that counted for little as he takes his new-look side on the road.

“You’ve got to pick up the points away from home to make the points you pick up at home count even more,” he said.

“We’ve got to go down there to get a result definitely.

“We haven’t hit that period yet when all the midweek games start and that’s when it’s really going to test out teams and squad depths.”

Brisbane is yet to concede a goal or lose this season and excluding Ivan Franjic (quad) and Luke Brattan (virus), Postecoglou has almost a full squad to select from ahead of the clash with the Jets.

With new boy Jean-Carlo Solorzano a chance to travel and Massimo Murdocca to come off the bench, the Roar mentor said wasn’t a bad situation to be in.

“When the team is playing well, everyone wants to play which is a good p...

With Kamal Ibrahim heading of last Sunday for a ten day trial with Leiga Warsaw I thought I would start a new thread.... I dunno just yeah... opinions on youngsters jumping at any chance to get into Europe?  Even if it is in a league arguably not much more prestigious than ours.  I know I know its Europe and all, but come on?  Poland?

I guess we are lucky it is only Poland in a way and not somewhere like Turkey, because if he DOES fulfill his abundance of potential he won't be on enough to pay his AIS scholarship back and be poached to play for Poland.  But that's relative to him impressing in the trial and really beside the point. 

The point is, how do we stop this madness??? How will our league grow if we cannot keep even our moderately hopeful players here?  When will these kids learn?  Has the countless transfers of our youngsters to SMALLER clubs and league in Europe majority of which fail not taught these kids anything?  Yet the success of plying your trade here for 2-3 years first ala Tommy and co...

Its late, I dunno what Im getting at, but you can work it out...  It pisses me off...
