That said, away form has been a real problem for Perth, winning just once on their travels all season, with that coming all the way back in October, in a 2-1 win at Central Coast Mariners, and that record will have to improve if they are to make a late playoff push. Ruben Zadkovich's side have also been very impressive at home, which bodes well heading into Saturday's game, picking up 19 points at HBF Park, the sixth-best record in the division, having also played one fewer game than two of the sides above them. The main problem for the Glory last season was their record in front of goal, scoring just 20 in the entire campaign, but they have already managed to score 28 in their 21 matches so far this term. Perth finished bottom of the A-League table in the 2021-22 campaign, managing to acquire just 18 points in 26 games, so this season has already been an improvement, regardless of whether they are able to make a late push for the playoffs. ![]()

In the referenced folder, the folders in there will be long numbers. Go to the steam folder, go to userdata/some long number/ugc/referenced. SGA seach (the file type for mods, tuners, maps) and found them in a very weird location. For me, I have noticed that my downloads do not go into the Company of Heroes folder. ![]() |
