I believe Leo Beenhakker made a good call up on players.
The coach is capable of making players play better and play for him and his system, the players who can listen, fit and could follow instructions will get picked.
Bertille St Clair turned down Dennis Lawrence, Reynold Carrington, Arnold Dwarika and Collin Samuel, he didn't want to hear anything on these men at one time, Ian Poterfield came onboard and made these men (Dwarika, Lawrence & Carrington) play like kings, Samuel made his debut under Simoes and was an instant hit also, he kept his form during his first year in Scotland. BSC also had personal problems with Silvio Spann, Avery John, Jason Scotland, Collin Samuel and Aurtis Whitley.
My point, I am sure Beenhakker knows what he's doing and pick the best players for the job, playing in Mexico is a big task and I feel he is aiming for that game more than we think, a tie there will do us great if it comes to that, play with 5 defenders and look for the counter, 4-5-1
The only 2 players who really got a raw deal was Scott Sealy and Andre Boucaud.
Rojas might be committed, but he eh ready. Avery should play left back and Tiger on the wing. Period, other than this I am satisfied with the squad called, I also believe Stern will raise to the occasion, out of all the strikers called, (like it or not) he happens to be our better finisher, even though I feel Dwarika could have help Stern re-discover his form because of his style of play and the position he plays, but maybe Dwarika wasn't fit ? Glasgow, I would replace him with Collin Samuel and play Samuel as a second half sub for Tiger on the left wing if anything. Samuel is coming of his season and should be fit, he should be the only exception because Glasgow not prolific at all, so to is Sam, but Samuel can play as a break away striker or on the left wing back running at defenders opening space up, he faster, more determined to prove himself and stronger than Glasgow.
Glen, I expected more from him, he's talented, but has more flaws than good, hopefully this will change soon because he CAN really help, he came in vs USA and made a huge difference, so all is not done for him, maybe the Gold Cup will be a great time to see players such as Dwarika, Boucaud, Sealy, Glen, Spann, Norville and Shakes.
Dwight holds the key on top for us, he scored a hat trick vs Panama last time he played, so hopefully he can do it again, if not, maybe we can use his as a decoy where he can have two markers on him so man like John, Jones and Sam could get free space to do they thing. The problem with Dwight on top is both him and John plays to similar so we would have to go with a 4-3-3 or 3-5-2 formation vs Panama where we will have an attacking midfielder like Jones or Birchall creating something up front.
3-5-2 vs Panama.

PS: Lets kill the Zamora/Jlloyd topic, these men we dont need, they heart not with us.
