    Were we expectecting too much?

    Regardless of the results today Jamaica can only seek out the few positives from this competition and build on it. From what I read Jamaica was unfortunate to lose against StVG as they had the mor share of the ball possession in that game. In fact, Jamaica outshot StVG 10 to 2 and had 9 corners to their opponent's 3. However, the old adage is painfully true: goals win games.

    Yet, considering that Jamaica was missing over 22 of their top international players maybe we were expecting too much of the local lads. Just look at the following list to get a picture of the main pieces we were missing:

    Jermaine Johnson (Bradford), Jermaine Hue (Sweden), Andy Williams (RSL), Jamal Campbell-Ryce (England), Micah Hyde (England), Jason Euell (Charlton), Richard Langley (England), Keith Kelly (Injured), Khari Stephenson (GAIS), Damani Ralph (Rubin Kazan), Marlon King (Watford), Luton Shelton (Sweden), Teofore Bennett (Sweden), Deon Burton (Shef Wednesday), Ricardo Fuller (Stoke ?), Kevin Lisbey, (England), Tyrone Marshall (LA), Shavar Thomas (KC), Damion Stewart (QPR), Claude Davis (Shef United), Ricardo Gardner (Bolton), Donovan Ricketts (Bradford).

      Isn't there a regular talk of abundance of talent? If thats the case, any 11 should do the trick.

        I certainly would feel like there is no hope had we lost to StVG using our top players. As it is, we used a set of players of whom only about one or possible two could likley figure on a Jamaican 1st team.

        Yes it is an excuse but one you cannot deny holds true. Am I still concerned that we lost to StVG? Absolutely! But at the same time I'm going to give some credit to a well-prepared StVG team. Then of course I will have to also consider the length of time CB had to prepare his players.

        However, I will not close my eyes to the fact that not much quality deh bout in the NPL. Either that, or the person(s) who selected the players did a very poor job.

          If you lighten up a little...you'll get more out of my posts!

          Any X1 with preparation! You really... - Must I really say it again? -you really cannot expect anycollection of X1 players to always defeat these Caribbean TEAMs.

          I'll first take you back to the 1st RBSC Editorial

          and tell you to read between the lines -(...or is it I am hitting you over the head? http://www.reggaeboyzsc.com/views.as...arl&id=105) - when I later said, "it is expected that we will defeat anyof the Caribbean TEAMswith a 'grab a team' philosophy"!Pleeease?

            The bottom line is that Jamaica thought that SVG was NOT WORTH preparing for AND THE FANS THOUGHT SO TOO!!!!!!!!!!!

              We weren't expecting too much at all. We just have to get used to our situation right now. Despite every little wiseman here from under every little rock hitting out against Jamaican football, our player pool is deeper than ever and it will get deeper out of necessity asour much maligned NPLclubs continue to ship players to pro leagues all over the world - their replacements will rise.

              Fact is some ol' man inna di cut will tell you about the 1960's buteven aJamaican third string teamnowadays can go out and perform better against international opponents than those one- bag-a-'town ballers' ever could. Why? look at people like Omar Daley and Fabian Dawkins, youth world cup veterans and Fabian Davis, Jermaine Taylor, Garfield Reid and Roland Dean -these guys probably played more top level youth games and got more quality training and international exposure before they were twenty than any of our stars of the past. But back to the present topic, how many of our three opponents in this qualifying group would be glad to start any of those players in their first choice teams...

                Bring back your best players for regional matches. Ignore this at your own peril

                  Funny that you should name some of these players together. Omar Daley (Princess was right), Garfield Reid (Karl was wrong), Fabian Davis and Jermaine Taylor (I was wrong), have either failed to live up to expectations, have passed their due date, or they have just seriously regressed. None deserve a call up for the Canada game.

                    Unnuha joker. Wasnt it a fully local team WD use and mash up Digicel Cup last time? CB had Omar Daley, Sean Fraser and Fabian Dawkins as foreign-based ballers. WD use a team full of youngters and mash up carib cup so nuh badda come wid dat ya man.

                    From mi CB a coach mi know say wiwouldn't go nuh weh.

                          We beat Haiti 2-0 out shot SVG 10 -2 by your estimate so how in the world can you come up with that conclusion , fact is by your estimates we should have won all our games .
