Trinidad-Haiti 2nd game

We won. The team is still trying to find some sort of cohesion. They are all great football individuals, but they need to play as a team. Our midfield was nonexistent, only with Theobald and David Nakhid did the middle of the pitch come alive. I think we're coming along ok, but if we're going to play this way against the US, I predict a 2-0 score going against us. They finish, we don't. We need to get the midfielders at the top of the opponents box to create scoring chances.

Dwighty is here and will play on Sunday in the final warmup against Haiti. Actually, my perfect middle would be Nakhid, Yorke, Latas and either Angus Eve, Carlos Edwards or Theobold. For the strikers, start Cornell Glen with Kenwyn Jones and bring Stern off the bench. I don't think either Yorke or Nakhid can play a full 90 minutes, so there's some juggling to do. Overall...I'm happy with the progress, St Clair is trying his best and there is a lot of pressure on him to do well. We definitely need a midfield general out there, someone to take charge and lead by example. Hopefully, someone will rise to the task.
