Jamaica Copa Squad finally

[USAF]

"The more things change, the more they remain the same."
I see some CONCACAF teams already playing U23 practice games, but I haven't seen or heard anything from Jamaica.

hard to arrange? everybody was looking friendlies in preparation...is mussi a $$$ thing as usual

[Tilla]

I think some of the defensive player could be employed in midfield, for example Daniel Gordon as a defensive mid. With Mariappa, Morgan, Taylor and Hector all central defenders (Gordon as well) , I hardly think all of them will see playing time in defense.

I would love to see Stoni or another of our football aficionados put together a starting eleven and explain the reason for selecting a player.

Don2, this is not for you as I know ah strictly development you ah defen'.
Sass, yuh know suppen...

[Don1]

Yes, we will only see success if we put in the work. The grab a team and show up mentality still plague us from as far back as I can remember. Our best period was the build up to the 1998 WC. We have not learned from that experience though.

This was...and still is...possible ONLY if we have a dedicated local core to our team...and place the core in continuing prep mode for tournaments & friendlies.

To be truly successful (and development oriented) the RBZ must be treated like a club....not a hurry-come-up pick up squad peppered with the latest journeymen flavors-of-the-moment

This seems like a very difficult concept for most to understand

LOL... miseeit

[Assasin]

LOL!!!!.

Dawkins and Parks can drop back in midfield. The defense look sturdy, only Powell left out. Is Peel head injured? I don't see him playing for Portland and no call up.

[Tilla]

There you go Sass. I knew you had it in you.

Yes, Romeo Parks is really an attacking mid than a striker/forward. The same for Dawkins.

Overall, I think it is a well balanced side. So you not prepared to put forward your starting eleven? I knew I would not have to ask you for you to put it forward, but since you have not as yet, let me ask. Put it up nuh man?

[Stonigut]

Midfield is wickedly thin.

[Muadib]

[Mosiah]

Well, Maestro just retired so he may be in better condition.

I will find out if he is available.

[Gamma]

is that Deshorn Brown?

[Tilla]

Same one! Now you see that I have an eye for spotting talent and not just STETHS men!

[Mosiah]

I wish somebody would!

[Gamma]
