Football / Re: How will T&T cope @ the 2019 Gold Cup (Vote & Predictions).
« on: April 13, 2019, 10:45:32 AM »
Defence seems solid atm. We need to sort out formidable attack personnel and formula to stand any chance of progressing from the group. I'll make a more educated guess after the Japan & Venezuela games about our chances.

Kinda weird that we can't afford to host teams yet we're playing Venezuela where the country is basically bankrupt? Doesn't that affect their FA?

« on: March 21, 2019, 06:57:23 AM »
Solid in defence, combative in midfield, poor in attack. Clearly we need a creative/attacking midfielder to move the ball from midfield to striker. We need a number 9 striker too. Kevin Molino springs to mind as the obvious missing piece but there's Kristian Lee Him in Germany, Matthew Woo Ling in Cyprus. We also have Daniel Carr in Ireland. Woo ling is born Trini the other two is Canada and England born with Trini passports. Also is it worthwhile trying to woo Bostock out of exile/retirement? Keon Daniel even? As it stands we definitely can't go forward with that attack that we had last night. It definitely needs some invention and intervention to press on.

Am I missing something? I thought we were planning for the future? If so, why does DL call up 31 year old Willis Plaza, whilst Rundell Winchester (25) and England born Daniel Carr (24) with a TnT passport is overlooked? Both are also active which makes it even more puzzling for a game of this magnitude.

Daniel Carr plays in the ROI, he's active, is a number 9 in the mould of KJ that we we need. Ryan Innis just returned to QPR from his loan spell in Scotland with Dundee where he was active. He's a central defender. Both have TnT passports.
Gareth Bale: Real Madrid forward injured in Champions League defeat
Gareth Bale scored twice in last season's Champions League final against Liverpool
Gareth Bale could be set for another period on the sidelines after suffering an ankle injury as Real Madrid lost at the Champions League last-16 stage to Ajax.
Jeered by home fans in the weekend defeat by Barcelona, the Wales forward came on as a 29th-minute substitute following an injury to Lucas Vazquez.
Bale almost had an instant impact as his shot struck the post, but ended the 4-1 defeat hobbling around the pitch.
The extent of the injury is not known.
Wales have a friendly against Trinidad & Tobago on 20 March, four days before beginning their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign at home to Slovakia in Cardiff.
The former Tottenham player joined the action - with his side already two goals down on the night - to a less hostile reception than he received from Real fans on Saturday, which his agent described as "nothing short of a disgrace".
He was unable to inspire his side to a comeback on Tuesday, however, with Santiago Solari's side's sole focus now on La Liga - in which they sit 12 points adrift of leaders Barcelona.
His future at the Bernabeu appears increasingly uncertain.
Bale was out for three weeks in January with a calf injury.

« on: January 02, 2019, 01:32:56 PM »Well, I don't know what the Trini kids do in England. It appears that they are not into football as other WI kids. So TT has to step up and produce their own as we have always done all along. If a foreign born willing to deal with all the TTFA has to offer, he or she will be considered a hero or heroine by me. Allyuh know how TTFA stop.In my experience in the UK, the Trini parents push their children more towards education. Even my mother in law who came here in the 60s mentioned that she Trinis were scarce compared to the Jamaicans, Bajans and Grenadians. She also said that a large amount came to study and went back, oil boom days nah. Met an Antiguan guy some years ago on my job who was an electrician and we got to chatting. He said he had been in the UK since the 80s and he always admired the Trinis who pushed their kids towards education as compared to other islanders.
So ah guess with the numbers and attitudes we don't seem to produce as much footballers. However I must admit that since the 00s there has been a significant increase of Trini immigrants to the UK since the "slump" of the 80s & 90s, so we just might see an increase in players that are eligible. Then outside all of this we have a poor FA . You got to have some serious balls or a hidden agenda & ambitions to be part of the current set up to be honest.

There is no under 23 either, they use the under 21 as a feeder team to the national team but I get what you mean. Still I doubt it will happen for all types of reasons.

To be fair Justin Hoyte, Jlloyd Samuel turned us down initially, then accepted the call later when they couldn't get into the England national team and we accepted them with open arms. Even Bobby Zamora did the same and turned up just in time for World Cup 2006. Right now we need all the help we can get as with the lack of quality depth at present we will struggle in the Caribbean further more in the Gold Cup or Hex.

Kinda hard to decipher what was actually said Vs what was actually meant considering the language difference/barrier Vs what the reporter reported/interpreted Vs Google translate.
Either way he and RanjitSingh are the best options going forward.

We need more players and fast to gel with what we have. A creative midfielder to complement Hyland's bustling, a few more defenders and a striker. Lawrence mentioned in his last interview when announcing the squad for this friendly that he's looking to recruit players from abroad and there should be two more in addition to Frenderup that should join by the turn of the year. I had a look earlier and noticed that Ryan Innis is now listed as a TnT national. Hopefully he's one of many to join up https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ryan-inniss/profil/spieler/183284

That game was brilliant. and the league points situation is even more fascinating. I reckon even if Darmandst is relegated, JJ has done himself enough justice to be picked up be another team. Probably even one of the newly promoted to the Bundesliga 1.

In order to catch up with other teams in the Caribbean we have to scout overseas born players...by the dozens. The talent pool is shallow and needs to be addressed. For some reason we are always hesitant about mirroring the scouting network as Jamaicans do. We need to change the approach and become more aggressive. Sadly, some of these players out there are bang average, have reached their peak which ain't good enough when coming up versus better quality opposition. We love to harp on about the abundance of talent available but there is no structure to it and with things as they are we are leagues behind it Caribbean counterparts. We need about 2 players in every position and I don't mean from the pro league to improve intensity and competition among personnel. At the minute we're going no where fast. Dale Bennet, Halam Hope, John Bostock, Sheannon Williams, Daniel Carr, Nick De Leon are players we should be begging literally to link up. Need to step our game up alround
