ZEE from the looks of things, you do not know world football, you might know Jamaican football but not world football. Why can't a 17 year old get molded? With mentality like yours maybe next world cup we'll be having 50 something year olds playing for us and 27 year olds in Jamaica will now be considered young Rookies! At least with your lineup.
Thank God we have a Coach who knows what he's doing
Ok let me spell it out for you, molding young players and taking chances...
Clearly you have a READING and COMPREHENSION problem... Read back my posts on page 1 of this thread and stop chat foolishness in my ears... Mi say the side need to OVERHAUL after this match...
Too much old man deh pon di side and Evan Taylor just start play... Groom him in some more friendlies... Yuh nuh groom man inna world cup qualifier... Especially a do-or-die one off series... Mi nah fight di yute and mi nah fight grooming youngsters, but no one in Jmaica from fans to coaches did even know bout this yute and is only Simoes have eye fi spot him talent???... A joke yuh a mek...
It appears that Simones has selected a team with a defensive ‘team’ type personality, why?
1.Fosters compactness and space deprivation for the opponent.
2.Defensive players tend to be more ‘calculating’ in their game decision making. Reason being, defensive players are heavily reactive and the choices there are more narrow than say an offensive player, who inherently is trained to be innovative where the choices maybe whatever you can think of doing quickly.
3.Defensive type teams tend to play ‘ugly’ at times, work hard, plays in patches of brilliance and possess a competent aerial game.
Why would Simones take this route when he has other capable players available?
1.He needs to maintain control over the game, and a defensive team is more conservative and will allow him to do just that.
2.He calculates that his two forwards will get/create at least 4-8 ‘good’ chances between them and 3-6 half chances.
3.He calculates that his selections can score at least 3 + goals and a defensive team will not give up more than two goals at worse if the ball bounces in his/our favour.
4.Scouting report.
Well at least he is thinking but of course there are risks associated with this type of strategy, but it’s a good thing we are playing the Bahamas and should win both games handily. If not, its over and every Reggae Boyz, 'salaried' TD/Coach and JFF President knows that and a serious businesslike attitude is good for winnings. Lets start planning our selections for the next round/patient coz this one is over before it starts, just fill in the blanks.
Zee a fight yu a fight the yout. His talent was noted from Godfrey Stewart days with Coach Palmer, but the white man sey suo now suo yu should know how dat guo as a man wey familar with dat dey side a de fence.
Xy... It look like you and alfinite have dyslexia... Either that or yuh deh pon some serious drugs that affecting your reasoning... What exactly are you implying about me should understand because me come from that side of the fence???
The yute don't even start for Reno and how much other baller get more ratings than him inna Manning Cup and DaCosta cup???... Nuff!!!... Me never hear bout this yute... Downswell never even have him a start for a bottom of the table team like Reno... No one who watches National League week in week out ever hear bout or see the yute play, but here comes Simoes and discover the yute and now he is a starter for Jamaica in a World Cup qualifier after what 3 or 4 practice match?
How exactly am I fighting the yute? Mi done tell unnu say mi glad fi him and how him get buss and how mi hope things work out for him... Which part of that the 2 a unnu nuh understand... My problem is his inexperience and having him play in a high pressure do-or-die series... Blood him in some more friendlies before you make him come hold a very vital part of our midfield...
And now you a come with some racist argument bout which side of whatever fence you have inna your head that me come from... Racism works both ways if you never know...
Anyway... Now me really see why pelepapa have you off as "one a dem man deh!!!"
Zzzzz if Craig 'Ruxio' Zadie can get game then left de yout alone. A bet if im de name ??? yu would a neva a Zzzz pon de forum.
Yu se like how mi love bun fiyah pon fe yu 'type' dont mek mi start coz yu dun nuh ova de cyber tingy an mi nuh hav no taboo bout a yuptowner.
Who is Zzz, mi neva kno sey de TD need fe check wid yu and PSOJ b4 im pick team.
Zzzz wey mi come from wi bun dem guys de, wey yu come from dem inna King video. Come to think of it did'nt yu (zzzZZZZ) show up inna Merica right about when dem capture de famous tape.
Zzzz one ting Xy nuh hav inna im arsenal is 'goldspoon' and 'buttered bread' pon de backs of 'poor people' suo get ready...
Yu argument upside down coz Bahamas is the perfect team fe leggo de yout. If im nuh readi den wi will find out from de jump, end of story, but dont be typical and stifle poor people pickney, when Rux a come from all ova de world.
XY... You clearly have inferiority issues of race and class, or lack thereof, and your post above has now exposed you for the type of psychologically ailing person that you are. Now everyone can better understand what is going on when you come on the board uttering psycho cyber conspiracy theories and other nonsense.
As a matter of fact, I don't even know why I'm responding to your garbage because like I was taught, it's best to just ignore ignorance, especially when I'm obviously dealing with an ignoramus.
Gentlemen, y'all need to calm down and enjoy this journey we are about to go on. We are all Jamaicans irrespective of class, race, or origin. We all share an undying passion for our country and express that passion in different ways and with different views. Let guh afta dem fool-fool talk dey and sit back and watch de ride come tomorrow and Wednesday.
One Love!!!!

TECHNICAL DIRECTOR Rene Simoes' honeymoon ends at six o' clock tomorrow evening when the Reggae Boyz bow into CONCACAF World Cup qualifying action against The Bahamas at the National Stadium.
Jamaica's decorated Reggae Boyz playing Caribbean minnows Bahamas would have caused fans to scoff, at least a week ago.
However, the Boyz's shocking 2-1 loss to Grenada on Tuesday has even the most ardent fan in doubt for Jamaica's World Cup qualifying opener.
Simoes said he was ashamed after the Grenada debacle, fielding a team stacked with overseas-based professionals and the best of local talent.
The Brazilian's time in Jamaica is pinned on qualifying Jamaica for South Africa 2010 and he has promised a better showing against The Bahamas, who they will face in return action on Wednesday at the Trelawny Multi-Purpose Stadium.
formation change?
Still fiddling with his starting line-up and formation, Simoes is reportedly set to switch from 3-5-2 and his reliance on a sweeper to a flat back four in a 4-4-2 set-up.
Ricardo Fuller, the largely unimpressive Stoke City striker, is injured and will be replaced by Luton Shelton of Sheffield United, partnering Marlon King of Wigan Athletic in attack.
Demar Phillips, Rudolph Austin, Evan Taylor and Andy Williams make-up the midfield quartet, whereas the back-four has captain Ricardo Gardener on the left, Tyrone Marshall on the right with Jermaine Taylor and Ian Goodison as central defenders.
Simoes, who utilised a 5-3-2 formation when qualifying Jamaica for France 1998, has openly voiced his preference for a 'libero' or sweeper in defence and used newcomer Simon Ford in that position at the Stadium during the Boyz's 5-1 trouncing of St Vincent and the Grenadines on June 3.
The Boyz's loss to Grenada has boosted The Bahamas' confidence not to mention their 1-0 Under-23 win against Jamaica in Haiti last October.
Bahamas drove the first nail into Jamaica's hopes to qualify for the Beijing Olympics when they shocked the Under-23 Boyz 1-0 in their CFU Group H encounter at the Stade Sylvio Cator in Port-Au-Prince, Haiti.
young bahamians
Ranked 167th on FIFA's list, The Bahamas will be fielding several Under-23 players, including the goalscorer, Lesley St Fleur, whose 86th minute goal knocked out the junior Reggae Boyz Olympic dreams in October.
In recent games, they advanced from the opening round of qualifying, drawing 1-1 then 2-2 to advance on away goals over the British Virgin Islands.
Both games were played in The Bahamas, who led the second match 2-0 at half-time but conceded in the second half including a penalty in the dying moments.
On paper, The Bahamas should prove no match for Jamaica and their galaxy of stars. Shelton is looking to command a starting role alongside King and could seal his place with an impressive per-formance as Fuller has failed to reproduce the form that took his team to the Premiership, even though scoring a header in Grenada on Tuesday.
The veteran Williams and the youngster Taylor are also aiming to stay in Simoes' good book as midfield starters, whereas the defenders will have to prove to the Brazilian that they're capable of keeping out goals with a 4-4-2 formation.
I see some of ites may get their wish as it appears that Simoes will go back to the 4-4-2 formation at least for this series.

Don't teams start with 4-4-2 and the switch to other formations depending on the conditions in the game. If we making headway in the midfield and their offensive prowess is weak, then we can always switch. Simoes never expect us to loose to Grenada, thus I don't blame him starting conservative. I do believe that he should be getting some of the other players involved immediately...where is Campbell-Ryce. What about Noseworthy..we have other players that seems to be missing from the training camp.
Zzz mi kno wey de complex dey, dont fire shot if yu caan tek "reality" quite different from complex. Calm yu nerves and stop fight de yout and support the program.
Zee don't pay the idiot boy no mind. This is his whole reason for being. He searches for something that reasonates and try get brownie points with the ites affa it, typical nerd who ah look friend. I don't even think he knows or cares about the yute him seh yu ah fight. No waste yu time trying to defend yuself to him. Yu mek a valid point which some will agree with and others will disagree with, ah so it go. No need fi him ah talk bout fighting the yute.
The nerdy boy is the very thing he is trying to blame you for being, or at the very least he wishes he was. From his first post yu could tell seh he wishes to be viewed as some intellectual who everyone need to fall in line behind, or else. When in fact the man has proving to be an immature, incompetent nerd.
Let's go Boyz! We need to get it on down the line.
