Winless Narrabundah won't be a pushover, insists Wanderers skipper

The Wanderers sit second on the National Premier League 2 table with three wins from four games, while Narrabundah is yet to register a point.

But goalkeeper Fry insists they're on high alert after the Bulls were unlucky not to secure a result after conceding an 80^th minute penalty in last week's 1-0 loss to highly-fancied ANU.

The Wanderers accounted for bottom side Brindabella 2-1 last week, and the clash with the Bulls is an ideal chance to forge a gap between the chasing pack.

"I see this as a really big game. These guys had a very narrow loss to ANU who are going to be up there," Fry said.

"They're going to be extremely tough and these away games are going to be particularly hard.

"We've got the firepower to do it with the boys up front, if we can focus on not conceding I'm sure the boys will do the job."

The Wanderers will be without attacker Caylum Barber through suspension after he was sent off last week, while under-20s defender Frazer Burns will be looking for more game time after an impressive debut at Brindabella.

The club's under-20s are unbeaten through the opening month and Fry is welcoming the pressure for spots that has been lacking the past few season.

"I'm not sure what the backline will look like but he had an excellent game last week, he was really outstanding," Fry said.

"He's really promising, a great prospect for the club I think. But with Justin Curran coming back (this week) who's also in good form, there's competition there.

"Frazer was quick, he was everywhere. He also showed composure beyond his years on the ball, and his chat on the pitch."

"The past two years we've been leaking in the back and didn't have the quality we have there this year. We've also got a bit more depth with these twenties boys stepping up."
