Although they lost to cross town rivals Sydney FC in round 22, good results since then see Western Sydney in a strong position in the ACL and still second place in the domestic competition.
The last game of the stretch resulted in a commanding 3-0 defeat of Perth Glory and Popovic said overall he was happy with how his side had coped with the workload.
"Good day, good couple of weeks," Popovic said.
"It's been a difficult period, five games in 15 days.
"When you think the first game was a defeat in the derby, and the way the players have responded, we're obviously very proud of the group.
"They have been really focussed and it's been a fantastic response in the four matches since the derby defeat."
"We believed that if we maintained our quality and maintained our final third entries that we were getting, that we would get rewarded.
"In the end it was a reward for a good performance on the back of a tough couple of weeks."
"As a group, everyone's played their part in these two weeks. Some have played more games than others, but everyone's contributed and the response has been excellent.
"The players will go home happy tonight but also they look forward to a couple of days off for sure."
"Whoever is there it's quite congested and with three games to go we're in front at the moment," Popovic said.
"We want to stay there and we'll do everything we can to stay there."
