Striker Daniel McBreen has been one the reasons for Perth's recent run with two goals from two starts and the coach could not be happier with his decision to release Dadi

"We brought some new faces in at the right time and they've added a bit of a spark to the team and they've been great, they've lifted everyone and now we've got a bit of depth in the squad and that's what we've always been after," he said.

"There were a lot of people speaking about the Eugene scenario but for me he didn't work hard enough and he wasn't a team player.

"Everyone can see Daniel McBreen puts his heart and soul into it, even though he's not going to be with us next year. That's just the character of the guy. 

"He works hard for his teammates and he's scoring goals, which is fantastic."

Glory have won three and drawn one from their last five games but Mitchell does not believe his team is playing their best football, just yet.

"No, a few people think that.  I think at the start of the season we played some great football, then hit a bit of a bad patch but we are coming good again but certainly not at our best yet," Mitchell said.

"We've put ourselves in a good position with two at home and one away."

On Sunday Glory host  Central Coast Mariners at ME Bank Stadium.

"For us it's a big game, if we win, it just about assures us of a finals spot," added Mitchell.

"It's also a big game for Central Coast and they probably should've won last week with the performance they put in."
