What's next for Soca Warriors?

[acb]

So the board & football community was crying out for democracy and common sense to reign.

1. Maturana was a dunce.
Answer: we get rid of Mats and put in The Peoples' Champ - Latapy, but the result was the same - a loss.

2. Defence too inexperienced.
Answer: Bring back Dog, Tallest and Avery to man the backline. Yet we give up 3 soft goals - all big defensive blunders, and collect the same 3 we get against USA under Maturana.

3. Drop Stern John
Answer: Start Jason Scotland who complain on Faceboo, complain about being brought away from his club and didn't get to sweat, choose club over country - and yet, still get a start and couldn't finish clear cut goal chances.

4. Lacking crowd support
Answer: Move the game to Tobago, who pack the DY stadium and make more noise that the HC will ever dream of.


So where do we go from here??

[Weh-it-is]

It must have some better men in de pro league to take Lawrence and dogg spot.

[JDB]

Just settle weself and work on improving the team from game to game and stop obsessing over this 4 year itch wwhere we does scramble to build a team DURING the Hex.

We have a new coach who should get some time and will have no problem chilling in TnT and working on development during the "dead year" that will be 2010.

[Trini _2026]

what next acb is to scout for replacements

[acb]

so throw in the towel? ... or strive on re-creating the miracle of Beenie in 2005 that got us to the WC from a position of doom, similar to what we in at the moment?

some of the fellas we depend on to pull their weight in this game couldn't physically cope. The answer is to look for youthful replacements ... but the youthful replacements in the current National pool have failed to step up to the challenge when we put them in - so do we persist with them ... or just bleed the U-20s with a core group eg. Birchall, Glenn, Hyland, etc. ??

So where do we go from here??

Not sure I agree with all those sentiments but same thing with Birchie, take him off at 2-0 up against El Salvador when he is playing well and we leak two goals, then do the same against USA at only 0-1 when he is again playing well and we leak another two. Now leave him out altogether againt CR and leak another three.

[Weh-it-is]

True talk. We need to bleed the younger core group of players now...the older men get show up today. Even ince look like he could sit down on de bench.

[Dinner Mints]

It must have some better men in de pro league to take Lawrence and dogg spot.

De level they playing at now ain't too far removed from PFL.

Ah glad I is not de only one who notice that.  Birchall brings a fighting attitude every game.

Fellas Lawrence and Dog are our two most experienced defenders. Replace them with green players and all that will happen is that they will make a different setta mistakes. They will not be old or slow but they might look just as clueless, or worse.

No problem with that if we looking to build, if the goal is to get a team between now and November good luck.

avery real play today so at least one thing improve, imagine if akile was dey, we woulda get about 6.

[truetrini]

Time for Yorke to be a sub.
Time for Scotland to take a purge
Time for Dog to hang out in de pound
Time for Birchall to lean to trap the ball
Time for Lawrence to learn to stay on he feet when tackling
Time for Edwards to learn to cross de ball
Time for Ince to learn how to marshall he defense
Time for Kenwyne Jones to start scoring
Time for Glenn to learn to slow down and be composed
Time for Noel to stop missing and score
Time for we defense to start defending
Time for elan to shut up with he shit
Time for Scotland to quit international ball

Enough fighting attitude for Galaxy to sign him but not obviously not enough for Latas to start him. Also, Beenie never ever left him out of the side or subbed him - the rest is history!!

Move the game to Tobago, who pack the DY stadium and make more noise that the HC will ever dream of.

I Trini by birth, but I say we should have all the rest of our home games in 'bago for that reason alone!

[Socapro]

I Trini by birth, but I say we should have all the rest of our home games in 'bago for that reason alone!

If we want to be dead serious about this World Cup qualifying thing and creating overwhelming home advantage much like CR and Mexico does we definitely need a football dedicated stadium with no athletic or cycle track and with about a 15,000 to 20,000 capacity! This is a serious issue if we want to qualify for regular World Cups as we need to be creating definite home advantage!

Latas has the potential to bring back our football to the level we were at in the strike squad days so lets give him a chance or to be more accurate lets hope JR & the TTFF doh @*$!-up again!!

[Peter]

Ride out from here with this crap eh acb. Just focusing on every negative you can find and things you can warp to turn into such- by omission or straight twisting, and dismissing the numerous positives. This was the best performance from TnT since the World Cup 06, and thais all you could write. I'm a realist and I believe in striving towards excellence in everything, but I don't like the vibes I seeing here.

WE BEATING MEXICO IN AZTECA.WE BEATING MEXICO IN AZTECA.WE BEATING MEXICO IN AZTECA.

We cyah have it both ways.  Akile Edwards didn't play yesterday and we still give up three goals and Maturana didn't coach yesterday either.  So who fault is it really why we defense is shit?
