I thought this was a three year old post. A>B>Trini are you serious- Kelvin Jack and Marvin Andrews. We may as well call Stern John And Avery John.

That is the irony right there; when these players looking better than what we presently have, what other options do we have? I think part of the thinking here is that these players  could work with the younger players in settling them down and  teaching them the game...... ah mean  reflecting on what our present coach's comments about some of the players " they look like school boys'........

Tired of  WATCHING TnT being 'schooled'.....let's get our best payers back to represent TnT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Which TnT team would you  rather pay money to watch in the next friendly; the one that lost to JA or a team comprised of the best of our overseas players mixed with the best of the local pros??

[Coop's]

The ironey is we does want to hold on to players until their knees start to buckle,we don't try to build young players while the more experience guys are in their prime,we wait for their days to be over to wonder where our replacements are coming from,if we calling up Kelvin Jack and the rest of the crew how is that teaching the younger players,these youths needs to play consistantly at the highest level,i could see them being called if is to assist with coaching etc etc

AB i hear you Breds but at some time we have to stop worrying about winning and consentrate on building,if we have to sacrifice some losses so be it,but we not going to make it at the rate we are going.

dino zoff was 40 when he kept goal and captained italy in the 1982 world cup so i could understand kelvin jack but marvin andrews...come nah man alberta trini?..just now u will say bring back peter prosper and faustin.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the irony is that I was not  putting men in any formation ; I was simply listing men across the page hoping others would add to the names under them. But then again  given how  our present team  and players are thrown into positions, this may be the system  presently employed

Anyway Coops, yuh partially correct, we may have to abandoned the thoughts of winning every game however is not the losing that is the issue for me, is the  apparent neglect, or blatant omission of  players who could  be a solid core of our future, that are not being considered for selection. Meanwhile other nations are bringing in their best players.
Secondly, the level of our play seems to be moving backwards as oppose to be progressing. Given where our team is, these are the reason from listing some of these players.

...and Dwight Yorke and Ian Cox with Lincoln Phillips in goal.  Some of us fans live in the past while we have the nerve to criticize Latapy.  Wake up people!

This unit could work... seriously, and men like Daryl Roberts to still come on for ah man and change it up.
but still, dem fellas hadda be eating real ochro breds... and be pushing real weights too... pounds pounds!!!

Whatever happens going forward, we hadda make best use of the seasoned players, as a settled unit, playing a system, that everybody understands...

There is a lot of hope and promise in this squad. But we need at least  2 more J Lloyds and 2 more Hylands.

[injunchile]

When People dont have the facts they make up things. A lot of speculation , conspiracy theories and the like. The coach or the manager need to communicate with the fans and say
 1} The foreign pros will not be available for the Digicel cup hence the reason for a local based squad.
 2} These friendlies are a test to see who are up to international ball.
 3} Give a list of foreign pros and say they will join the team for the Gold cup and related friendlies.
 After all these years the TTFF cant understand the DNA of the T&T fans and simple communication.

Unfortunately, the TTFF ppl made up of the same DNA, so is make up things, lot of speculation, conspiracies..etc...etc..

When People dont have the facts they make up things.

The general public usually would like to be consoled after z loss (which is the norm these days) with words of wisdom from the coach, however the heavy hitters would like some details in detail. I for one have many questions for him as do us all.

 The coach and some of the fans here have two very different ideas on how the national team should represent this country as well as how the rebuilding process should be administered. A test squad must have a larger pool, rotated, analyzed over a period. We are looking at the same defensive players in the last how many games with very similar results. One can only suspect these regular backline are in a comfort zone to where they can have a bad few games and still remain in the starting line-up. After the recent results some of us are very concerned for the reputation of this once ambitious National team, without the proper addressing of course people will begin to speculate.

Some of us want to know why the squad seems to be always low in confidence, showing very little pride and fight with very little hustling. The style of play is very carefree, when a player loses the ball its okay, losing out of half challenges all day, it has been a slow, painful decline in the performance of the team.

There is much to be said about the TTFF decisions but please do the right thing call up stern and some of the guys facing retirement or didn't have a proper sending off. They deserve it, who knows if  we will ever get a   player like Stern in our lifetime... but then again knowing the federation they repay a lifetime of service with a blacklist for life. Such a permanent scar on our football, cmon they made history!

The team plays just like its coach...taking a smoke and a drink chill out and all go be alright!! We aint have to train, warm up and we go beat people!! Unfortunately we dont have eleven latas on the field who cud do them things and get away with it.

[Rastaman]

what you guys think about this line up.

                                           Jones                Glenn

This is a very nice team.....but
1) How is this team supposed to train as only one person on the team is local !!!

2) So who is the coach supposed to train in the mean time.

3) Where is the best place to have a friendly USA or UK and who paying for that.

4) How often can we realistically expect to have these friendlies

5) Is this team available for the Caribbean Cup next month





Right so Who wants the Head Coach Job now ??

[AB.Trini]

When will the 'REAL' players be called up to begin serious preparation for this campaign? All this set ah ' jokey selections' and friendlies against  sub par opposition suppose to  prepare TnT for greater challenges?

This attempt at seducing fans and placating  the public with  mediocrity is wasting time at what should be the obvious. Get quality players on the field and let's get serious with we football.
