Chris Harold – 6

He hasn’t had a great start to the season but he started this game off with serious drive.

He disappeared for a while after that, but struck a venomous effort narrowly over the crossbar on the 62nd minute to try to ignite Perth’s comeback, and it almost worked.

Diego Castro – 6.5

Letting Castro swing in two free kicks and a corner in the opening fifteen minutes was begging for a Sky Blues’ disaster, and Redmayne did well to keep him out.

After that, he faded in and out, and even when he was involved, he was sloppy. Considering the talent they have, it’s criminal that Perth rely on him so heavily to orchestrate attacks, so he only deserves half the blame.

Adam Taggart – 6

He still had a chance for glory at the death, but left more to be desired than most on that pitch.

Lowe doesn’t look like he quite knows how to get the best out of Taggart, so if you’re expecting the Aussie to suddenly shine and score his way back into Socceroos contention, you may be left disappointed this season.

Andy Keogh - 6

It’s hard for the captain to lead by example when he’s chasing shadows, and Perth’s ineffective press left Keogh a thankless task.

Mitch Nichols - 6

The long awaited return of the wispy haired bad-boy, but facing off against Brillante and O’Neill was a baptism of fire, and he never got going.

Jake Brimmer – 6.5

He’s got a lot of confidence and his dalliances on the ball allowed Perth to steady the ship for a while in the second half. If anything, he outshone Torres, but he’s not first team quality defensively.

Joe Knowles - 6

Another solid introduction for Perth, but he couldn’t do quite enough in his short spell to warrant a proper rating.
