Ferth City’s primary challenge this season was their defensive solidity. Conceding 56 goals indicates a need to tighten defensive organization and reduce vulnerabilities at the back. Additionally, consistency across matches was lacking; turning some of their attacking efforts into more wins could have significantly improved their league standing. Developing squad depth and maintaining discipline will be crucial moving forward.
