The Sky Blues have added a couple of key players to their squad. Stephan Keller and Karol Kisel have bolstered the Sky Blues’ defensive unit. Despite their recent injury woes, they look better with these two in the defensive spine. Meanwhile, Alex Brosque and Mark Bridge are a good boost for Lavicka. Mark Bridge scored a terrific goal last week, while Alex Brosque won a penalty to get his second goal. Both players are cheap enough that Lavicka will fancy them against the Adelaide defence.
