I pleasantly surprised at how constructively T&T appears to be playing

[injunchile]

Reggaefan I just read in a Caribbean. American Jamaican based newspaper that Whitmore job is on the line after 5 defeats. It further stated that had it not been for the brilliant goalkeeping of your custodian , the score line would have been embarrassing against Honduras

Of course the quality (or lack thereof) of Bermuda/Barbados contributes significantly to us playing the way we did....but lewwe doh pretend that Trini link up play was always looking like that against weak opposition....because it was NOT!!

It remains to be seen at what level we could maintain that style of play, but doh throw salt on what Palos saying... The constructive nature of our play going forward (based on the highlights) WAS IN FACT a pleasant surprise - Give the manager and the team some credit.

You forget Latas vs CR in 'bago.

[kicker]

You forget Latas vs CR in 'bago.

Nah I eh forget that. 

In fact, in addition to that game, I thought our attacking play under Latas in general was pretty fluid and organized... Some of the best I'd seen from our team in recent times....Our physical conditioning and defensive organization was lacking in a big way though.  I dunno if it's the same under this coach - some tougher tests will reveal that.

Yes, Honduras could have won by a wider margin against Jamaica in Honduras, but that has traditionally been the case when Jamaica play in Honduras. Even so, i believe 1-1 at halftime and eventually losing 2-1 can hardly be seen as a disapointing result...its about what you'd expect when these teams play, anyone can win, Jamaica's chnaces of winning are higher when the game is played on neutral grounds or in Kingston. Honduras was looking to avenge the 1-0 loss they suffered to Jamaica last world cup qualifiers amd the gold cup recently.

Whitmore's Job is safe for now..I dont think the JFF really expected that Jamaica were going to go to places like Ecuador, China etc and win. The same china team that beat Jamaica had months befire drubbed Honduras 3-0, and like I said, the same Ecuador team that beat Jamaica 5-2 just romped the USA in the USA, so these are good teams that are ahead of us...

Whitmore will come under fire when he starts losing games played in Kingston...world cup qualifying games....now is the time for him to lose and learn in the process. Peru and venezuela also had narrow victories over us away...in my opinion these are good practice games to judge where the team is...id much rather lose 5-2 to Ecuador at altitude than win 4-0 agaianst Grenada.

REGGAEfan why are u lecturing us about good teams when your team NEVER beat the USA. Don't you have something better to do?

Here is a point for you sir, you are not here to help us or celebrate support our national team but to rate up Jamaica and insult us while you have the chance. This is not contructive critism coming from you but a vindictive trolling process that i am just about sick of.

What teams have JA beaten that is better than the USA? You telling me JA in the Concacaf region for about a century.. and NOT ONCE have you defeated USA. Talk done hoss.. Go on JA board and lecture them on what they should and could do to improve themselves to beat USA atleast once in this century.

Every time JA face tnt alyuh starting with 10 defenders and parking the bus tanking a draw and maybe get lucky and score a goal.. Alyuh is ah bunch of Anti footballers like Honduras. I dont want to hear no talk hoss.. Next time you see latas thank him because he gifted you guys that Caribbean Crown, wear it proudly because come next time, it aint going to be no walk in the park so you can come here to brag about how good your scrape up JA side is.

Not sure where you get the impression that I or any other Jamaican football supporter would be happy to losing 5 games in succession. I was just merely responsing to a question re Whitmore's job security in light of these defeats. The JFF has been able to secure very strong opponents this year for Jamaica...all AWAY..to vs opponents that are BETTER than Jamaica.  Youd be naive to expect the team to go to places Like Argentina, Ecuador, China etc and come away with victories. The core of this team that JAmaica is using in these games is the same team that just won the caribbean cup and secured pasage to the Quarter finals of the Gold Cup...so to now sudenly say they are crap when they face better organized team is perhaps lending credence to my arguement that they need to play these tough away games to improve and get a better feel for where they are in the world game...i honestly dont see any benefits in winning 6-0 against Turks and Caicos islands over losing 5-2 to Ecuador away...the 2 away goalsvs ecuador counts for motre than the 6 vs Turks IMHO. The players in England who are eligible to play for Jamaica cannot all be called to the program...Jamaica has time to evaluate the 3 or 4 of the lot who they will eventually bring into the fold vetween now and Nov 2012 when qualifying starts for us. For now, I say bring on more of these tough teams...now is the time to lose and learn. Whitmore's Job, just like any other coach, ultimately depends on results...but right now, i dont see him being fired..the guy just won the caribbean cup and did pretty well in the Gold cup...I really dont believe we have a coaching probalem right now...we just have played teams that are, well, better than us. no shame in that.

I agree with RF on this point. How can JA arrange these games and JW could not or did not want to do it.  RF does look for pooyah sometimes but he makes a valid point this time. Play teams stronger than you to measure your standing in the world order. Why think of defeat as a setback. But I think we should also play the "lesser" team. It is an obligated to our fellow zone members. In terms of preps, JA is ahead of us. They more than likely will be in the Hex. Are we sure of a one game prep TT?
