The harbor-siders suffered an early blow with the loss of speedster Trent Buhagiar and still have a vacant visa spot.

But de Jong, who is returning from a hamstring injury, has faith in the men coach Steve Corica has assembled and says the players are not focused on bringing in a saviour.

“I think we’ve been scoring quite a few goals but we’ve had a few games where we didn’t create as much chances,” he said.

“I don’t know whether that’s all up to the strikers it’s up to the whole team to get the strikers in position as well.

“So we talked about that. We want to improve on that as a team and I think we have the group that can do it throughout the season.”

“We’re looking at a group of players now, we’re focusing on the next game. I think the group is strong enough to win these games.”

Jubilee - the scene of their defeat to Nix - holds no fears for Sky Blues

The Sky Blues are not the goal machine they were in previous seasons. Even so, they are joint second with league leaders Perth Glory on the scoring chart and striker Adam Le Fondre is leading the race for the Golden Boot with seven goals.

Sydney notched back-to-back wins to close the gap on Glory and Melbourne Victory but now face a big test as they return to interim home ground Jubilee Oval.

The team has yet to win at Jubilee this season – with a loss to Wellington Phoenix and Victory – and is now looking down the barrel of four of their next five games at Kogarah.

But the Dutch attacking midfielder said the venue holds no fears for Sydney who face a struggling Brisbane Roar on Saturday.

“I’ve played there preseason as well and I actually enjoyed it,” de Jong said.

“It’s a nice venue and I like the pitch so I think we need to prove we can win there as well so it’s a good time to start.”

De Jong, who scored in Sydney's 3-1 defeat of Wanderers earlier this month, has been an intermittent presence in the side due to injury but says his fitness is building.

"I’ve been playing a few games now, I feel good," he said. "Hopefully the next few games I get to 90 minutes and feel completely 100 per cent."
