You are right! I believe a local only side would easily pick up twice that amount. This was like target practice with a shot gun. You have to constantly load and come again. With an all local, it would be more like target practice with a M16.

The only way Jamaica can create a consistently effective team is by applying some version of the Simoes model.. i.e. a core group playing many matches over extended periods versus strong opponentsOriginally posted by Peter R View PostMy feed is sticking.... but what you described is one of my pet peeves; we just hand them the ball... Simoes had the 98 team playing good possession ball (snow and tropical ballers alike). Now I know that team played many matches together so it may not be fair, but don't the younger players learn anything from seeing what "big" sides do? Is it that we are so technically inept we can't execute??
Since snow ballas are not generally available to play many games as part of a core group.... then a Jamaican team composed mainly of snow ballas is very unlikely to be a consistently good and cohesive unit
This seems to be a reality that escapes most Jamaicans

True but Simoes tried it a 2nd time and got fired because it did not work. Maybe we should train in England with a UB40 core?Originally posted by Don1 View PostThe only way Jamaica can create a consistently effective team is by applying some version of the Simoes model.. i.e. a core group playing many matches over extended periods versus strong opponents

Wrong. You haven't learned the clear lessons of 1994-97
Simoes' 2nd time around did not have a 3 year development period with a local core group
