Questionable tactics leave Lady Jags facing elimination

The Guyana starting XI against Nicaragua.

Conservative tactics have left the Lady Jaguars facing the possibility of elimination in the Concacaf W Qualifiers, with a must-win encounter tomorrow against traditional Caribbean powerhouse Trinidad and Tobago staring down the senior programme.

Guyana laboured to an uninspiring draw against Nicaragua at the National Track and Field Centre in Leonora on Friday, in a fixture which required a win for the host nation to keep pace with the fellow unbeaten Twin Island Republic unit.

Although the technical and tactical quality of the Central Americans cannot be denied, one shot on target from eight attempts following a meager 37% of possession is certainly indicative of a team that was either trained to defend or had a defensive mindset.
