Jason Scotland not discarded.

Scotland not discarded.
By: Shaun Fuentes (TTFF).

Trinidad and Tobago Assistant Coach Anton Corneal, after being quizzed on Thursday said there were no particular reasons away from football for the exclusion of Swansea City striker Jason Scotland for the June 1 encounter against England. Scotland’s omission was the only notable one from the list of overseas-based players included in Francisco Maturana’s 26-man squad.

But questions were raised to which Corneal replied: “There’s nothing particular about his omission. The head coach did his work and after studying the players he has available he looked closely at some points and one of them is that Jason was competing in a very tight department which is the forward line where we have in form players who have all played consistently well at a higher level that him (Jason). This does not mean that he has been discarded but we felt that the forwards we selected were the ones able to fit into the team’s preparations for the England game,” Corneal said.

“We also decided that we wanted to give the opportunity to two of our local forwards, one who is the top-scorer in the T&T Pro League, the opportunity to be in the squad and be part of the whole build up and possibly the match as well.”

There has been no confirmation of Russell Latapy and Dwight Yorke and Maturana didn’t see this as disappointing, maintaining that was confident in the abilities of his squad. Whether they are available or not, the two T&T legends were not listed in the 26-man squad as they would in any event appear as guest players. Scotland won the Puma League One Golden Boot Award and will receive it from the League on his return to England.

I think there are several more notable ones.

ill wait until i can find a word that transcends "crazy."

[just cool]

I agree with cory somewhat. scotty and dem done have their over seas contract, i think maturana want them locals to get some exposer in the england game, and just maybe! they could get picked up by scouts watching the game,and earn some contracts.

plus scotty played in the gaudleope game, and just maybe! maybe pancho wasn't too impress with his game.   just my guess.

OK den
please explain to me HOW Jason and Chris are playing at a lower level than some of de fellas in TnT.
Please and Thanks

Me eh know wha de deal is with Chris. Or de midfield and defence in general. But...

Wit de strikers, they going for a mix of foreign-based and local. Yuh cyah just rely on throwing all the overseas players together. What is de point of local players training den? How dat benefitting them? So instead of putting out 5 foreign strikers, he pick the three that playing and scoring at de highest levels. Add in Gay for the experience. And Jorsling, I doh know too much bout, but he apparently performing well in training.

Personally, I'd have Roberts in midfield (which he prefers) and bring in Scotty as de third foreign-based striker. But I could see de coach point.

OK, cool, as it is not a WCQ.
he better play in later games

I hope you saw my edit of my post

[Dinner Mints]

I agree with cory somewhat.

How you know all dem details, boss?

[spideybuff]

They real watching the site. They answering every question we pose that implying there is a blacklist.  Whether the answer is the truth or not, they providing an answer.

That is called C.Y.A in the professional world

confuffle yuh ass?

ps...i know what it mean eh...

Lazy Bitch is now ah bad joke... 

[weary1969]

Fuentes go b able 2 report on a whole side of who eh discarded, who still in d plans just now

[just cool]

IMO it's a strategy on the head coach part to put the locals in ah real pressure game to see how they would respond before putting them in a real live situation like the WCQ.

i can't find any other reason, that and the one i mentioned earlier. yuh know for the past two years all i hear is man second guessing the coaches,and their decision making, why not stand by them and support them even if we don't comprehend their choices and decisions.                                    positive.

wha....ent about 16 "not discarded"

If this is what Dry So means, I think I understand their reasoning too.

Stern (Championship), Kenwyne (EPL), Roberts (Eredivisie) are higher than League 1.
And rather than have Scotland is a 4th choice, they'd prefer to give a local the experience.

I not defending it as the best decision, but just understanding their reasoning based on the statement.

Eh heh??   look another notable one.....

          BIRCHALL!!!....

A spin I would like to put on this is this.I think one of the footballing humps id that it is apparent that Scotland  and Jones will not be a pairing will be automatic.A equation could be High work rate striker needs High work rate partner otherwise they would be stretched apart,eg in th Guadeloupe game it was glaring that Scotland just was not able keep up consistantly with Jones pace of play, constant movement and lacked the know how to captilise on the countless knock downs,he gets his goal for Swansea in a totally different manner.He has his strengths but i dont think it will consistantly compliment Jones style of play.I have looked at Scotland since his early days with Defence Force he is not the type of player to feed of another target esp. a super quick and extra mobile one.
