Hume City has lifted the intensity as it tries to avoid relegation in the National Premier League.
Having had just one win from the first half of the season, Hume has showed some good signs under new coach Goran Lozanovski.
Lozanovski said things were going well so far. For Lozanovski who is returning to the NPL, he said not much had changed in his time away from this level.
“We had a good couple of weeks and we got a couple of wins on the trot,” he said
“Last week we had a little bit of a hiccup, when we maybe got too confident, but things are going to plan at the moment.
“We’re just plodding along trying to get points every week.”
Lozanovski said getting the two wins on the board had been a massive boost for the playing group after a tough start which saw the club change coaches twice.
He said there had been some good confidence from the group that they can match it with any team.
“They’re still quite a responsive young group,” he said.
“The intensity has been a lot higher the last couple of months, which generally happens under a new coach.
“We need to continue to keep that intensity up and keep doing the basics each week and get a few more points.”
Lozanovski said they were still looking to add some players during the transfer window, but said they needed to be the right people.
The side will receive a boost in the coming weeks with former skipper Harry Monaghan returning to the field.
“He is back from the UK and will play in the next week or so,” Lozanovski said.
“He was meant to be here from the start of the season, but had issues with trying to get his visa.
“It’s good to have him back, he’ll be like a new signing. He’ll bring plenty of leadership into the defensive half.”
With the side sitting third bottom with just three wins and 12 points, Lozanovski knows they can’t be content with the last few weeks.
Having dropped a match against Dandenong City who is below them on the ladder.
Hume is set to face Avondale on Saturday.
“The focus is to pick up as many points as we can,” Lozanovski said.
“The new two to three weeks we play sides that are in the top five. We want to be playing the top teams, as everyone rises to the occasion.”
