Perth Glory coach Kenny Lowe is confident his A-League team turned the corner despite a 4-1 defeat at home to Sydney FC on Saturday night with their next two games away.Glory have now lost three of their last four games and are vulnerable in sixth position only three points ahead of the second last placed Central Coast Mariners.Perths next two fixtures are away to Melbourne City and Western Sydney Wanderers for the richly-talented and injury-free Glory.The 4-1 scoreline on Saturday night doesnt tell the story that it was an improved performance on the previous weeks loss to Newcastle.Glory scored first thanks to Adam Taggart and despite an immediate Sydney response, continued to create the better first half chances.Clinical finishing from the unbeaten league-leaders, two spectacular saves from Sydney keeper Danny Vukovic and Perths struggles to get shots on target led to the unflattering 4-1 defeat.Lowe tried some different things and was pleased with what his back three of Shane Lowry, Dino Djulbic and Aryn Williams offered, which he might now stick with.Well look at it but it might be the way forward for us. We created opportunities, looked vibrant and the two wide boys Rizzo (Josh Risdon) and Waz (Marc Warren) did really well. Especially Rizzo looked devastating up there, he played an excellent game, Lowe said.We are trying something new so there will be a few holes in it here and there. But you cant fault the endeavour and effort trying to apply everything we spoke about. We just have to keep battling on and working at it.Lowe was encouraged by the form of striker Adam Taggart as he builds on return from a calf injury while Diego Castro came off the bench after his own hamstring complaint.Perth has a clear bill of health on the injury front with Rhys Williams and Richard Garcia among the players currently not getting a look in. Lowe isnt looking to make any drastic changes within or outside the squad.Sometimes things pop up and they might interest you, sometimes things dont pop up so it cant interest you. You just keep heading on and working hard, and hopefully things will change, Lowe said.Everyones vying for positions in the team and everyone is training. Everyones fit and available so well pick the team that seems to be right for that game at that part of the week.

Key injuries to Mike Moustakas and Lorenzo Cain and Alex Gordons bad year wrecked the teams playoff hopes, but Kansas City remained baseball-crazy, with the highest local TV ratings in the sport.Whats goodThe Royals scored high once again in the ballpark experience (sixth overall) and fan relations, and the team received the best affordability score in MLB (both 10th overall). In fact, ticket prices didnt increase after a World Series title. Its worth noting, though, that per-game attendance decreased from 2015, which is unusual for a World Series winner. It seems like the teams postseason attendance high actually came after the Royals first World Series trip in 2014. After all, fans of sports top-ranked title track team (up 46 spots from last year!) can get spoiled.Whatss badNed Yost ranked 47th in coaching last year -- remember, the polling was done just before the Royals won the World Series -- and fell a few spots to 54th this year.dddddddddddd Even with a ring, Royals fans remain unconvinced that Yost is one of the games top managers. Apparently, even the year after a title, its easier to blame the manager than the offense that finished near the bottom in runs scored.Whats newThe Royals climbed 23 spots in bang for the buck, which is a good sign that fans are leaving the ballpark happy. Next season will be interesting, as the Royals have already announced an increase in ticket prices to counter expected arbitration raises for Moustakas, Cain, Eric Hosmer, Danny Duffy and Alcides Escobar, all free agents after 2017. This is all about trying to keep this thing going as long as we possibly can on the field, Royals VP Toby Cook told the Kansas City Star in explaining the price hike. The coming season might be the final stand for this group of players, as the Royals are unlikely to be able to retain all those free agents.Next: Texas Rangers?| Full rankings ' ' '
