BRISBANE Roar coach Mike Mulvey admitted his table-topping team received a timely wake-up call in losing 2-0 to Newcastle at Suncorp Stadium last night.
The Jets continued their recent dominance over Brisbane and are now unbeaten in their past four matches against the Roar, a run of games that has included three victories.
Despite Brisbane dominating possession, the Jets hung tough and were rewarded for their diligence in recording their fifth A-League win of the season.

Having grabbed the lead in the 34th minute via an own goal from Roar defender James Donachie, the Jets sealed their win in the dying stages with a goal from substitute Joey Gibbs after some excellent work from the impressive Josh Brillante.
While an ordinary playing surface due to two recent concerts didn't help the Roar's renowned passing game, the hosts lacked composure in front of goal as they lost for the third time this season and for the first time at home since in 11 months.
"I don't think we have to have any losses," Mulvey said.
"What this is, is a wake-up call for us. This is our home ground. We want it to be a fortress. It was up until now."
"We'll take our medicine. We're big enough and ugly enough to deal with that.
"I take full responsibility for the result, and we will fix it on the training paddock, and we will get ready for Sydney on Thursday (at Allianz Stadium)."

Brisbane had the first chance of the contest in the eighth minute after a brilliant build-up involving more than half of the Roar team.
Working their way from one side of the field to the other, the Roar eventually managed to get behind Brisbane's defence via a Besart Berisha cross which found Ivan Franjic beyond the far post.
Franjic then laid the ball back into the path of midfielder Liam Miller, who seemed certain to score.
But with only Jets goalkeeper Mark Birighitti to beat, Miller failed to hit the target with his shot.
"If that goes in it's a different story because they game with a particular game plan," Mulvey said.
Realising his side's early problems, Jets coach Gary van Egmond changed formation, abandoning his narrow diamond midfield shape and opting for what was in essence a five-man midfield when Brisbane were in possession.

It worked immediately, with the Roar no longer having space on the flanks to create havoc.
The Jets were able to work their way back into the contest and took the lead in the 34th minute.
Jacob Pepper found Andrew Hoole, who got the better of Brisbane skipper Matt Smith before firing a dangerous low cross across the face of Brisbane's goal.
While the ball didn't reach intended target Adam Taggart, it forced Donachie into an outstretched clearance that ended up in his own net.
It continued Donachie's run of outs against the Jets, with the youngster having gifted Newcastle their winning goal when the two sides met at Hunter Stadium last month.
The Jets continued to absorb pressure before Gibbs ensured the visitors their win with his 87th-minute goal.
"It was a fantastic effort by the players defensively," van Egmond said.
