I think this crop of Under 23 men can very well do what the senior team did not, they can beat Finland if they focus.

He was on our U-20 squad in 2008/2009, but didn't make the cut to play in the World Cup Qualifiers or the World Cup. Went to Cypress Bay High School with former QRC goalkeeper, Jesse Fullerton.

Thanks Tallman. Im also seeing a Bradley Welch that played for FC New York last year, are these one in the same?

nice to see this youth being looked at. I think he can be one for the future. Is DeSilva too old? I don't see him on the list, either that or I need glasses.

Went back to Uni.. he missed a few weeks of school to play the Finland game

Angus and the staff know what he can offer already, could afford to miss the U23 leg of it... time to see who else can add to the mix

Thanks, I see a glimmer of hope in these youths, just hope they all can stay together and form a nice lil unit. What ever happen to Primus, is he eligible?

Calling on Mr Fuentes to get us some pictures and videos, I would love to see this Under 23 team.

I want to see Roopchandsingh in action too.

Coop's · « **Reply #15 on:** January 24, 2012, 01:03:16 PM »

I am so glad to see we finally come around to giving the locals and no name players a chance to prove themselves at the senior level,i always thought we should be doing this a long time ago but we studying our egos,people shame and don't want to lose games when we losing any how with the established big name players,with this present crop of players we have some licks to get but in the long run it will be the best thing for us,give the guys a chance.
We have to learn to keep players than discard them,we have to develop a pool of players big enough where positions will be competed for,we should have a shadow team of two or three potential players for every position.Imagine we does have defenders playing midfield and righted footed players playing left side positions etc etc ah mean why are we struggling for players at this level?
When you look at the list of players we have playing and going to school abroad,providing they can all come together with what we have at home T&T could be a force but that's just wishfull thinking,i see Flex and Tallman does dig up players from all over the place but there is no incentive to want to play for T&T.

can't ever remember a T&T team with as much depth of quality AND depth of experience in every position as the current u-23. and unheard of in this age group for T&T. you could construct 3 sides from all of the players and each one could be competitive in CONCACAF.

unfortunately it only exists in this age cohort, not sure if they can repeat the performance in the current U-20 or most importantly in the very talented upcoming U-17 group.
