Matt McKay tells Fox Sports consistency is only difference between old and new Roar Matt McKay is delighted with Roar's progress - but says consistency is the key. MATT McKay has declared that the current Brisbane Roar side is every bit as good as the one that won two A-League Championships. Speaking to the Fox Football Podcast on Tuesday, McKay, who skippered Brisbane to its first A-League title in 2010-2011 before moving abroad, said the only difference after two jaw-dropping wins is the side's consistency. "I think those last two games definitely (showed Roar is back to the level displayed under Ange Postecoglou)," he said. We really showed we can knock the ball around and boss teams. That's a great sign. But we've got to be consistent. That's what we were under Ange. We went the whole season. We've had a great start - great points tally so far, but we want to remain consistent, dominate games and hopefully that will show in results. Check out the rest of the interview with McKay in the first Fox Football Podcast of 2014 with Brenton Speed, Simon Hill, Tom Smithes and Daniel Garb by checking it out at the iTunes store (bit.ly/1jHAidz) or the iPP Podcast Player App. With the Roar already seven points clear at the summit, the possibility that it is still looking for consistency is a frightening prospect for its rivals, as was the way Mike Mulvey's side dismantled Melbourne Victory - generally thought to be one of the A-League's contenders. One of the predicted hurdles for the side before the season was its depth, but thus far, it has flourished when Besart Berisha has been absent, and the likes of Dimitri Petratos and the now departed Kwame Yeboah have stepped up seamlessly to the side's structure. The side has found a balance between possession and the "killer ball," but faces the challenge of maintaining the free-flowing style from the last fortnight at Suncorp Stadium, which has seen plenty of traffic in recent times and is a bit more patchy. A-League WINNERS and LOSERS touches on the week's major A-League talking points. Stein Huysegems was the subject of a few jokes for his finishing a few weeks back but the Belgian striker is now full of confidence as he orchestrated Phoenix's stellar comeback win at Wanderland - the third on the trot for Ernie Merrick's side. With Carlos Hernandez and Paul Ifill out of action, he is relishing the extra responsibility as early season signs begin to bear fruit for the Kiwis. Stein Huysegems is full of confidence. Corey Gameiro could be the fresh legs Sydney FC craves to freshen up a side that can look really tired when its out of form. The 20-year-old Australian is just the outlet Frank Farina craves, providing some pace alongside the likes of Richard Garcia and Alessandro Del Piero. His equaliser was due reward to Sydney FC for the spirit it showed with 10 men against Adelaide. After three turgid displays, it reminded everyone how hard to predict the Sky Blues can be. A year out from the Asian Cup, this weekend's clash between Tomi Juric and Gameiro could be a glimpse into the future of the Socceroos. Sydney FC striker Corey Gameiro is finally back on the pitch. Poor old Phil Moss has got his well earned first team coaching gig just when Central Coast looks to be running out of steam. Off-field distractions, out of form strikers and the loss of the side's two classy playmakers - Michael McGlinchey and Marcos Flores - has left Moss with plenty to do to reinvent the Mariners' tired title defence. But it's not all negative down at Bluetongue; the Mariners are still in third spot. Movement, energy and tempo has been hard to find but with 20 points in the bag, Moss has a platform to build from. It's been a tricky initiation for Phil Moss. In the Fox Football Podcast, The Daily Telegraph's Tom Smithies mused that the calmer Tony Popovic is in the press conference, the harder he's probably gone at the team in the dressing room. Indeed, it's an interesting moment at Wanderland right now. The unvetted adoration from last year has taken a back seat to the ugly off-field issues, a seven-point deficit in the chase behind Brisbane Roar and a performance lacking the intensity that Popovic requires of his players week-in, week-out. Really, the Wanderers are in a perfectly good position to strike in the back-end of the season, but with the first questions being asked of the side in a long, long time, it will be interesting to see what the next few weeks hold. If Popovic is looking for a response, there's no better tonic than Saturday night's derby. The brains trust at Wanderland have high expectations. Newcastle Jets go from beating the Roar to huffing around Hunter Stadium in a tepid loss to Perth Glory. Go figure. They take on Victory this weekend and both will have players away with the under-22 Australian side. It's a huge week for Kevin Muscat to try and lift his side from the tarmac. Simply, they were torn to shreds against the Roar and now must convince themselves that they're contenders again. As Mark Bosnich pointed out: if you're at a big club, the stage is there for some of the side's 'big' players to show they can bounce back. Will Kevin Muscat stick to the same tactics or change up against the Jets?
