Subject: NT Newsdesk S31

Thank you for voting me your NT Coach once again - as always will do mt best to be active in your Forum & keep you updated on all things related to the NT

Team has been selected for the 1st qualifier v Costa Rica

Made some tactical tweaks & set subs & orders

Sorted a friendly for week 4 also

If you have a young player (24 or under) who is NT standard or getting close - please mail me his skills & training

Thank you

I've been through the NT squad & dropped players over 28 years old that don't feature in my top 5 (3 for GK's) players per position (i.e GK's - CD's - FB's - Mids - Att)

This leaves 5 places open for NT call up's

I hope these places can be filled with younger players who are getting training

I can give a guideline to the standards we need

Age 24 years old or younger

GK - CMR (club match rating) of 65+
FB - CMR of 40+
CD - CMR of 40+ (height 180cm+)
Mid - CMR 45+
Att - CMR 50+

Please mail me skills & training of any player you have that might fit the requirements

Thank you

Really disappointed with our 1st qualifying result

We restricted them to 8 shots, & they score 4 goals past a very good keeper

The score was 1-1 just after half-time

Need to do some tweaking with tactics, to see if we can be a bit more successful in attack

We held out v Canada for 11mins

Then a bit of a goal fest - not helped by us going down to 10 men

Still - team score of 62 was good to see

Really pleased the the Friendly win

Very close between the 2 teams - but we edged it with a good all round performance

4 - 0 defeat against a much stronger team

The encouraging thing - is the improvements with the ratings of the Kenya team

If we can keep up the training of our NT players - Kenya will compete well at NT level in 2 or 3 seasons time

Set up the team for our next massive challenge

Just looking to see our team play well & gain decent ratings

We need to keep looking forwards, & hope for improvements (via training) within our squad

What a fantastic NT result for Kenya

Slovensko 1 v's 1 Kenya

Very very pleased with the team & tactics

Wamugunda Lusalah is the hero, scoring the goal from our only chance

But credit must be given to our defense - keeping the mighty Slovensko down to just 1 goal

Good day all round

Check on a player on sale, he can be a star in future... uneathly defender...

I've been away for a few days & missed him

Who was he?
(edited)

Nyachae Gachukia [24298499] i tried to sign him but he was costly... talk with his manager to train him pace...

Thank you - he is in the squad now

NT doing well - it is tough against such high quality opposition in the World Cup qualifiers

The friendlies with NT's around our level is encouraging - so hoping we can pick up some NT rating points next season

As always - if you are training a Kenyan player to a high standard - please let me know

Good 0-0 result away in Thai

Thought we just deserved the win - but that's football

Good progress being made by the squad - reflected in our National ranking - which is improving

Keep up the good work Kenyan Managers
