Latapy names 20 for Digicel qualifiers.
By: Nigel Simon (T&T Guardian).


The overseas quartet of Puerto Rico Islanders’ Kendall Jagdeosingh, his clubmate Keon Daniel, DC United’s Julius James and Yohance Marshall of LA Galaxy, have been named in a 20-man squad for the second round Group F Digicel Caribbean Cup qualifiers next week.

The squad selected by Soca Warriors coach Russell Latapy, moved into a live-in camp at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Wrightson Road, yesterday, minus the four overseas players who are due to arrive later this week for the tournament.

The tournament to be played at the Hasely Crawford Stadium, Mucurapo from November 2-6 will feature hosts, T&T, Haiti, Guyana and St Vincent and The Grenadines.

From the four-team tournament, the top two will qualify for the eight-team finals in Martinique from November 26 to December 5. Missing from the Soca Warriors squad is speedy striker Cornell Glen, who is out due to injury.

Glen who started up front with Devon Jorsling in T&T’s last international match, a 1-0 loss away to Jamaica on October 11, also missed the Earthquakes final MLS regular season 4-1 loss to Kansas City Wizards on Saturday with the injury.

In his absence, Defence Force striker Jorsling who has netted four goals in his last eight international appearances will spearhead the attack alongside W Connection’s Shahdon Winchester, bmobile Joe Public’s Kerry Baptiste and former Under-20 striker, Jamal Gay.

Jagdeosingh and Baptiste, who return from injury are the only two newcomers in the team from the Jamaica loss.

Other notable inclusions include captain Clyde Leon, Densill Theobald, Trent Noel, Hayden Tinto, Anthony Wolfe and goalkeepers, Jan-Michael Williams and Marvin Phillip. With Glen out, Wolfe and Theobald are the only members of the 2006 Germany Fifa World Cup in the squad.

Squad

Goalkeepers:
Jan-Michael Williams (W Connection), Marvin Phillip (Joe Public).

Defenders:
Julius James (DC United), Yohance Marshall (LA Galaxy), Kern Cupid (W Connection), Daneil Cyrus (Caledonia AIA), Joevin Jones (W Connection).

Midfielders:
Clyde Leon (W Connection), Trent Noel (Joe Public), Densill Theobald (Caledonia AIA), Hughtun Hector (W Connection), Keon Daniel (Puerto Rico Islanders), Hayden Tinto (Joe Public), Anthony Wolfe (North East Stars), Lester Peltier (Ma Pau FC), Kendall Jagdeosingh (Puerto Rico Islanders).

Forwards:
Devon Jorsling (Defence Force), Jamal Gay (unknown), Kerry Baptiste (Joe Public), Shahdon Winchester (W Connection).

When I see Densill Theobald name - my stomach does hurt meh, what a piece of shit this is.

Carlyle Mitchell and Andre Toussaint should be on this team instead of Densill Theobald and Hayden Tinto.

just like a pack of cards ...only the jokers are different ! Same players , same coach, same arguments bout who eh get pick  = same results at the end !
Must really be mad if we expect to do the same things and expect different results . Must make it a point to meet with Latapy to find out what scene he on ....Latas play too much big football to be just going through the motions like this ...it have more here ...

Gay vs Guyana = 68 minutes
Tinto vs Guyana = Not selected on squad

Gay vs St. Lucia = Goal
Tinto vs St. Lucia = Not selected on squad

Marshall is an insurance player for L.A. and they are able to excuse him for the playoffs bec they just got another defender healthy. Birchall on the other hand, from what I heard, was declared unavailable by the club due to playoffs.

Not understanding what u are saying. Do we have another 20 players that can be picked that are clearly better than the ones picked here? When u say "do the same things" what do u mean? to me the man picking the best players available (localy), training them and playing the game, what else are u expecting Latapy to do differently?

Breds, Gay, similar to Hyland a couple of yrs ago, is a clear talent who needs caps and needs the training until he gets another foreign contract. If he signs with a pro league team it becomes less desirable for a foreign team to pick him up because there will be a transfer fee. Thats y Hyland stayed so long without a club bec it was only a matter of time before he got picked up by a foreign team. Gay's agent see's him as being in the same position. So Gay is not without a club bec he's shitty, it's because he looking for trial opportunities abroad and being attached to a club here makes him less desirable bec of the fee that will eb attached.

I think that's as strong a team as we can expect to see without the UK based pros. We do not have any other clearly better players available; this a a good piece of team selection but now the results have to be there or even I have to agree changes will prob be necessary. I support Latapy and think his staged development plan has been brilliant despite what many of our short sighted fans think, but it's time for results because unlike the friendlies which were meaningless in terms of the big picture, these games actually mean a lot.

Go ask Hyland how well that worked for him? I think it worked out just fine :). Agents have a resume and a box full of tapes to promote the player, if the club likes the resume and the tapes, they will send for a trial and then they get to see the player in action. Those clubs (the kind Gay's agent is targeting) don't have scouts to send to pro league games because it’s a waste of their time and money because our league is shit. If u understood the process for getting signed abroad you'd understand y it is sometimes advantageous to remain unattached.

Stern John will be in T&T for the next 5 months, he might also be training with Joe Public while there. Not sure, but maybe he should contact Latapy and let him know he is available for selection once fit ?

We should top this group without too much problems.

These men have played together for nuff games and camps and hence team cohesiveness should be good.

Added to the fact we have home field advantage I expect us to win all 3 games.

All we need is a forward to get hot and score some goals.

Hopefully baptiste up to the task.

I think John still have something to offer and would like to see him at least training with the team when he's fit again.

Play the fitball...

I kinda worried about the striker dept as Baptiste not in form...also Gay and Winchester...yes yuh need caps but this is big tournament, them other friendlies was the time for you to get yuh minutes in.

Jorsling safe!

Other than that the team will hopefully put in a good shift.

I ent too worried...I setting meh expectations low, but we should qualify from this group.

They don't have scouts to send to PFL games, so explain to me what tapes they watching? Of him training? Of him in HS? OF him 2 years ago? Of him on the National team?

Men playing day in and day out and cannot get call up, yet a man "training" and he getting call up. You wonder why we cyah go nowhere.

Like I said, go ask Hyland and many other free agents how they got signed, tapes and trials. Tapes are compiled by the agent based on years of footage; lets not forget Gay has played in Germany, youth WC and National team, there is plenty of footage to help market him. BUT i totally see ur point, it is unfair for inform players who playing for a club week in and week out to get left out when Gay getting calls right through, point taken  :beermug: Who would you suggest should take his place in the team?

He got injured, was sidelined for a considerable amount of time, sent to the reserve and didn't regain form in time to convince them to extend his contract. He's got talent but injuries prevented him from making a challenge for regular playing time. But I agree he is not on the same level of clear talent as Hyland.

Wingbacks covered but it look like only Marshall and James playing centre back. What if one gets injured? Would have liked to see Robert Primus in the mix.

Anyway besides that the rest of the side look solid.

If this side can't tap up Guyana and St. Vincent and get at least a draw against Haiti then some serious questions need to be asked.

Cyrus would be the back up CB....and yes Primus should be in the mix.

Where is Primus playing right now and is he playing regularly. That guy was a good defender, can't understand y he isn't in the mix.

Wingbacks covered but it look like only Marshall and James playing centre back. What if one gets injured? Would have liked to see Robert Primus in the mix.

Anyway besides that the rest of the side look solid.

If this side can't tap up Guyana and St. Vincent and get at least a draw against Haiti then some serious questions need to be asked.

He plays for Jabloteh... not sure if he is playing regularly though. Maybe that's the reason he has been omitted.

From reading most of the comments here, very few is putting faith behind the team and most looks like they want Latapy to fail  :-\

The team pick, let's just wish them the best and give them our full suppport, if they fail then bring out the axe, no sense chopping down the tree before it dead!

Go Soca Warriors!  :beermug:

Big Up!

When was the last time Gay play with the team? He have no club, unknown my arse. What about Peltier and Tinto? Did they make the last couple games? I going and check.

Breds, Gay, similar to Hyland a couple of yrs ago, is a clear talent who needs caps and needs the training until he gets another foreign contract. If he signs with a pro league team it becomes less desirable for a foreign team to pick him up because there will be a transfer fee. Thats y Hyland stayed so long without a club bec it was only a matter of time before he got picked up by a foreign team. Gay's agent see's him as being in the same position. So Gay is not without a club bec he's shitty, it's because he looking for trial opportunities abroad and being attached to a club here makes him less desirable bec of the fee that will eb attached.

So according to you the best way for a club to see how good you can play is to not to play.   :beermug:

Go ask Hyland how well that worked for him? I think it worked out just fine :). Agents have a resume and a box full of tapes to promote the player, if the club likes the resume and the tapes, they will send for a trial and then they get to see the player in action. Those clubs (the kind Gay's agent is targeting) don't have scouts to send to pro league games because it’s a waste of their time and money because our league is shit. If u understood the process for getting signed abroad you'd understand y it is sometimes advantageous to remain unattached.

They don't have scouts to send to PFL games, so explain to me what tapes they watching? Of him training? Of him in HS? OF him 2 years ago? Of him on the National team?

Men playing day in and day out and cannot get call up, yet a man "training" and he getting call up. You wonder why we cyah go nowhere.

Like I said, go ask Hyland and many other free agents how they got signed, tapes and trials. Tapes are compiled by the agent based on years of footage; lets not forget Gay has played in Germany, youth WC and National team, there is plenty of footage to help market him. BUT i totally see ur point, it is unfair for inform players who playing for a club week in and week out to get left out when Gay getting calls right through, point taken  :beermug: Who would you suggest should take his place in the team?

hyland rejected a jabloteh contract extension but had a trail at Portsmouth in January  and rednapp was on his tail also he was a main stay in the national team  that was 2 years back and he was 18 turning 19 .... Gay was in Europe and could not make the cut/fallen out a favour at his club he signed a two year contract and they parted ways in one year ... gay has not been with  club since January 2010 he  is  21 and 22 in January he needs to be playing football at a club ...

I Agree he need to be playing, but playing in the pro league is useless.
i don't know why you people just fight down the league ....

We should top this group without too much problems.

These men have played together for nuff games and camps and hence team cohesiveness should be good.

Added to the fact we have home field advantage I expect us to win all 3 games.

All we need is a forward to get hot and score some goals.

Hopefully baptiste up to the task.

Thank you KND!

So if we don't top this group what then?  :-\

1.  8 time caribbean champs Trinidad and Tobago worried about NOT qualifying for an 8 team caribbean finals competition.

2.  There is an actual genuine concern within the die hard Trinidad fans that we might not win/place 2nd in a four team qualifying group that is being played in Trinidad and Tobago that contains Guyana and St Vincent!!

But small ting man..............my expectations low, but we will qualify in 2nd place

Yuh know why people feeling so Andre...

Everybody accept we does play a heart attack brand football...on a good day we will ketch a big team with a moment of brilliance from a big player, and side we supposed to blaze coming and going will beat us.

We always knew we have a shit brand...but they always had teams that shittier than us, so we woulda be able to get a result from them.

This rounds is no big players, a coach that proven to be clueless in every dept, a losing record...and our opponents in form, one ranked higher than us and the rest have more fight and something to prove.

Needless to say the scenario does not look good.

But as bleak as it looking I feel we qualifying....what we do after is another story.

The first two games six points- Haiti would tell us if we will make the final for the Cup. We sure to be in the big dance. Ja vs Trinibago in the final.
 Oh Ye of little Faith. Let not your hearts be troubled. Remember the coach did not want to peak too early. This is a coach with plenty of playing experience.

You fail tuh realize while the grass was growing the cow was starvin. yuh also fail to realize that the game is becoming much more technical, so teams that we trumped yrs ago, has raised the bar.

don't forget that it was st vin & grens who put JA out of the degicel in 2006. my math teacher mr bridges signature words were "if yuh fail to prepare" well you know the rest. we failed to prepare since sept of 2006, weh yuh expek.
