Darren Mattocks is a touch above..

[Mosiah]

Until the time is right. I don't know when that is.

[Bricktop]

Ryan Johnson kind of disappointed me at times last night...he saved his performance with his defensive intensity...i was calling for him to be removed in favour of Mattocks...

[Mosiah]

Ryan Johnson spent his evening winning headers, which he did quite a lot, since that was basically all he was getting. He messed up royally when he chose not to spring Luton Shelton on one fast break occasion. But I thought he did okay. If Mattocks was being fed those sorts of balls, he would not have looked too good either.

[Stonigut]

You know what happen when yuh force ripe something? It never come out as good as it should. He is in the side now, playing as a sub, let him earn the starting place, this is the problem we have too much switching up with no promotion based on execution.

I was one of the first to call for his inclusion however he still has maturity issues and needs to pay a little dues first. Same with Kevin Bryan etc how do we decide to play Kevin who has not earned his place at the table over Cummings, we must promote a more structured performance based approach to who plays and who comes on as a substitute.

[Mosiah]

Kavin Bryan has been a part of this time for a while. He was called on a couple occasions when he was playing half way across the world in Vietnam. If that is not a show of confidence in him, then I don't know what it is.

Fact is, Kavin looked a lot better than Darren in training, and was rightfully given the starting role. Possible that he may lose it at any point, but I don't think he played that badly for us to be calling for his head. Fact is, the service to our forwards was not that great, and when it was, the US did a good job locking down the lanes, or winning headers or making some great tackles.

Remember, Cummings has been missing for a few matches, I think due to injury.

So, let's settle down and talk from some facts.

[Gamma]

Agreed

[Stonigut]

Don't get me wrong, I am not calling for his head at all, I am just saying guys like Kevin have not earned the position of starting for the RBz, if coach and management things he should be there then good, bring him in as a sub and show us what u got giving him a chance to shine without overexposing him to failure by putting him on such a big stage when he has barely cemented his place in a regular pro club side in a 3rd tier league and you have Cummings who is a top club player in a premier 2nd tier league? This way we really get to develop a more structured approach letting top guys get their chance at showing their wares and the lesser guys getting their shot without being called on to do too much when they are basically just trying to build Their reputation and Contribution level.

[Mosiah]

Yuh talking nonsense now.

Fact?
Either the above is fumbling/blumbling explanation or just something that does not make sense!

When speaking on great service to our forwards, it cannot be

...when it was, the US did a good job locking down the lanes, or winning headers or making some great tackles

...i.e. the great service was non-existent...can it?

[Assasin]

Tappa picked the right side. Cummings is coming back from injury. He maybe in form but putting on Mattocks and Tappa the way he did can change games. Shelton and Ryan run full speed ahead but Cummings and Mattocks can move at speed in between defense and is a good punch to have off the bench. Honestly I don't know too much about Bryant but he didn't do himself any harm.

Individual statistics are very useful in player evaluation and selection...BUT...

You continue to appear to ignore or devalue critical team issues of tactics and chemistry which are sometimes more important in who plays and when they play

In your world a nice computer algorithm having crunched and digested your stat bank could pick the "best team" and make appropriate changes during games

The real werl aint like that

[Mosiah]

Thanks! Like it or not, football is not applied mathematics. That's not to say stats don't have any worth in the game. Just saying...

[Mosiah]

Maybe not the best wording.

The point, and the fact is, great service was rare. Service was not non-existent, however, and we should have done better at times. But the Americans did well also.

Hope that makes sense.

[Assasin]

Don't really agree with you at there Stoni, If the coach feels that he can contribute more into this game, it nuh matter how new he is or where he plays put him in. A lot of things come into play there.

Tappa know Cumming contribution and when he is called he gonna come with a bang.

[Jangle]

Unuh figet seh Dane Richards still deh bout.
