The Reds suffered two bad losses against Melbourne Victory in the major semi-final with Saturday's clash at the Telstra Dome prompting their coach Aurelio Vidmar to lash out at the organisation.

Vidmar said there were unnecessary distractions at his club which was affecting the team's form.

Dodd did not agree with parts of his coach's assessment.

"He was obviously frustrated after the game but I guess as far as the meaning behind those comments, that's something you need to speak to Viddie about," Dodd said.

"Whatever is happening off the field doesn't affect us so whatever is happening behind the scenes, that's not our concern.

"We get to paid to play and that's our job, we are going to go out there and do whatever we can to win the game."

Dodd said a tighter effort in the midfield and better finishing up front, rather than ignoring politics, were the keys to improving the team's performance.

Despite a handful of players leaving the club at the end of the year, and the weekend's controversies, Dodd said the Reds' playing group was not 'fractured'.

"We are a close bunch of guys and we have had a fantastic year throughout Asia and the Club World Cup. It'd be disappointing to go this season now, as close as we are to the end, to not finish it off with some sort of glory," he said.

Dodd also said Vidmar had the full support of the players.

"He's our coach. He's led us through a good couple of years and just because we are at a stage now where the going gets tough, that's when we have to rally and stick together," he said.
