Josip Skoko: In need of more match action
The 30 year old midfielder has made just 6(+2) appearances so far this season with the pick of his performances in the Carling Cup against Newcastle.

Many fans believe that Skoko is just what the team need in terms of midfield creativity and he should feature more often.

The player himself said: "January will tell me a lot. If I get a clear signal that I'm not going to be playing regularly, then I'll have to look at other avenues. I'll have to sit down and really think about it.

"But I back my ability to be in the side, so I'm not that worried about it just yet. It's just a matter of opportunity.

"Obviously there's a lot of competition in midfield for the Socceroos, but I don't have a problem with that, there are a lot of good players in the mix, and the positive is we seem to have a lot of talent coming through.

"Obviously I want to be in the side at the World Cup, and I'm still hoping to fight my way back in there."
