French-based striker in.
...Forbes called for Puerto Rico friendly.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).[/size]
Trinidad and Tobago National Team head coach Francisco Maturana has selected a squad of twenty-six players to attend training sessions ahead of this country’s next friendly international against Puerto Rico at the Marvin Lee Stadium on April 27.
The Colombian-born coach has called up French-based forward Kevaughn Connell and in-form United Petrotrin striker Jerol Forbes. Connell is a 24-year-old striker with French Third Division club L'Entente Sannois Saint-Gratien.
Forbes meantime was a member of the T&T Under 17 team at the 2001 FIFA Under 17 World Championship, scoring T&T’s lone goal in its defeat to Brazil at the Hasely Crawford Stadium. Team manager David Muhammad confirmed that Connell who had stints with Joe Public, Clico Jabloteh, New York/New Jersey MetroStars as well as played for French club AS Cannes, was already contacted and will make the trip home for the encounter.
Also earning calls for the encounter is Toronto FC defender Julius James, English-based goalkeeper Jan Michael Williams, Lester Peltier of Clico San Juan Jabloteh and Charleston Battery’s Randi Patterson.
Current team captain Aurtis Whitley is also in the mix with some other recalls including Defence Force defender Anton Pierre, Devon Jorsling, Michael Edwards and Caledonia AIA’s Stephan David.
The rest of the squad, for training which begins a week ahead of the game includes members of the teams which defeated El Salvador 1-0 and drew 2-2 away to Jamaica last month. They are goalkeeper Marvin Phillip, Keon Daniel, Kern Cupid, Akile Edwards, Kerry Baptiste, Keyeno Thomas, Jamaal Gay, Silas Spann, Keston Williams, Makan Hislop and Akeem Adams.
Maturana, who has viewed some of the opening round matches in the T&T Pro League, maintains that he will use the opportunity to see how the players fare in the training sessions and against international opposition. Some of the other overseas-based players were not considered due to the game falling outside of the FIFA international window.
“It’s a good opportunity for the players to be involved and we have made the calls according to what we have seen here in the League and of course we have our reports on some of the players from abroad,” Maturana told TTFF Media. “It is very important that we maintain our philosophy of working with the players who show the right potential and attitude that we are looking for. The last two games I saw a lot of promise and a lot of heart from my players and we are hoping to continue this pattern,” he added. Puerto Rico meantime, held T&T 2-2 in a friendly earlier this year are preparing for upcoming World Cup qualifying action against Honduras in June.
T&T will also face Barbados on May 11 in another friendly international on a request from the Barbados FA with their team preparing for their World Cup qualifier against United States.
The 2010 Local Organizing Committee, under the chairmanship of Jack Warner, met on Sunday at the Dr Joao Havelange Centre of Excellence to discuss the planning and hosting of upcoming events including the friendlies against Puerto Rico and Barbados, the June 1 Centennial clash with England and the June 7 return friendly international against Jamaica in Port of Spain. The “Soca Warriors” will also face Bermuda in its first 2010 World Cup qualifier on June 15 in Trinidad followed by the away leg a week later.

Especially considering the age of these players. The final squad could be competitive with our digicel squad from last year.
I think we are on the verge of something great (for our normal standards), provided that (1) We realize that we no more or less talented than the rest of the Caribbean and what makes the difference is continual proper exposure and development of youth players with the opportunity to be seen. In the past we had the $$$ and the connections but lack the will. (2) Defence should no longer be the ugly sister of goal scoring and mid-field wizardry (3) We must be prepared for a young T&T team to loose games for quite some time when our seniors are not present. We Trinis don't tend to look ahead or practice patience too well but once we keep the faith, in about 4 years time we could have the most powerful team we have ever fielded.

Congrats meh boy Kevaughn.. :beermug: :beermug:
This news make my day...
This fellah could be the answer to our left midfield.
-
James from TFC get call up??? he juss coming off an injury geez, I wonder if TFC go let him go...
-
Jah Gol so no tinto carlon murray hugton hector or andre pacheco ??? .. Anyway Francisco Maturana will just continue to add what he sees more proleague games... good to have a local base though....
I think he's(as advised) trying more players. I am fan of Tinto as well. He really coulda include him there.

Hyland playing de ass.....

yea...no tinto, aguillera, well like Murray get drop for de last jabloteh game...and word is Trent noel playing well...from Captain to discard....hhmmmmm
To me, Williams once fit has realistic chance of hold down a CB position on the side.
-
I would have like to see Boucard,Shakes,Norville and Warner get a little shout too.He already see what jan has to offer.And if TTFF had balls Sancho and Birchall also.
-
Trini 2010....Guerra played for Jabloteh last week vz NE Stars...so he around ....for now

-
And if TTFF had balls Sancho and Birchall also.

People like alyuh eh read de post good. This game falls outside de international dates. Therefore no setta foriegn players getting a bligh
-
Is interesting that the game not on a fifa date and they still call Connell. That is at least 10 hours of flying right there.
Now check the scene, anybody else find is funny to have a international game like this on a Sunday? Entente have a match at 8pm on Saturday the 26th . Toronto (James) and Kansas City (Sealy) playing each other at 3:30 in the afternoon that same day. Charleston have a match at 7pm.

Understand but Birchall not on Coventry 1st team squad ? Yea think Coventry will say no to him coming and getting a run?
-
I want to see Hughton Hector on that team but say what...Hector performance against Chivas prove he is talent...I doh know what going with Andre Toussaint but as a person that highly rates him I would like to see him in the mix..It have a defender by the name of Fabien Lewis long overdue for a National call-up...I think he was playing A-League d2 last year when it have men unattached training and getting caps...I remember him playing for Naps...Was an absolute force in defense...Simoes give him some run too I think...I would really like to see these guys come out and help our country to the Next World Cup, but Maturana is the boss...Hopefully he find dem...Go T&T
-
I Guess Collin Samuel ent go get a sweat for a while after that stunt he pull before the jamaica game :rotfl: Maturana was really dissapointed in him for his no show, but i wonder if Pacho made this list before Samuel was released. The man get 2 rejections in one week. but i still stress that he should start concentrating a developing as a midfielder, i think he'll be a better midfielder than striker from now
-
Yo Babalawo that graphic you have there fing up my screen bro. Serious, if you dont mind, you need to change that... maybe one alone... ask somebody else too.
Ah see Kevon Carter back in de mix.....
Strange to see Osei Telesford out ?
Whats the deal with Andrei Pacheco, Errol McFarlane, Glenton Wolfe, Ataullah Guerra, Cornell Glen and Nigel Daniel ?
Give Matthew Bartholomew, Simeon Augustus, Hughton Hector, Jason Marcano, Richard Roy, Corey Rivers, Larry Bacchus, Andre Boucaud, Chris Birchall and Ricky Shakes a call too.. maybe for de Barbados game...
-
What time is dat game is a sunday so it might b a hot sun scene

I supporting you 100% with them selections pannox. Is long time Fabien should get a call up. He have the right skills and the right attitude towards the game to be a great addition to the squad. And Hector was trouble since he small...would really like to see us have moreplayers that really willing AND ABLE to run at defenders....Question whatever happen to this boy..Gourion Hyley..if dais how u spell his name that use to play for Arima?
-
yea geh hughton ah bligh...ah teach him ah ting or two n trust mih he bad ;D
-
Ah understand dat Jerrrol Forbes promise tuh stop playing de ass and tuh remain focussed on football.
-
Guy's you think Atiba will get call...and what the story about some of the oversea player...not making the first team...and some even getting cut from the there team
-
if forbes finally got serious then i go be real happy...is to watch and see
-

-
de local team did very well against de jamaicans. i hope they can keep it up and continue de success in de future.

To me, Williams once fit has realistic chance of hold down a CB position on the side.
I thought Williams was impressive against El Salvador. Would like to see him against better opposition. He look like a real good player.
