Joe Public is a different team from last year.
They sold many decent players as far as pro league goes. (Alejandro Figueroa, Seon Power, Keyeno Thomas, Daneil Cyrus, Conrad Smith, Akeil Guevara, Gorean Highley, Keryn Navarro, Akeem Parris, Devon Leacock, Julien Landeau, Bevon Bass, John Stewart and Teba McKnight).
They was never strong in defence and never bother improving it. The T&T league is poor so they never found answers their, they probably believe they were in good hands.
They are not confident like last year.
The coach seems his first timer luck has run out and does not have the knowledge to motivate the players or make tactical changes.
On the other hand, Defence Force and North East Stars seems more practical in their approah and looking to build, they have serious people behind them and can only improve, I am sure if they get the chance they will make do better than getting 3 and 4 goals in they backside like JP and JAB get.
Joe Public still living on cloud nine with de NE Revs win.
