That was the cry of several spectators interviewed at yesterday's World Cup match between Canada and Bermuda, which ended in a 0-0 draw.

While proud of the local team's accomplishment in reaching the second round of qualifying, almost to a man each said that current coach Gary Darrell lacked the ability to carry them to a higher level of play.

"Inexperience on the part of the coaching staff led to poor performances,'' said one fan. "We need a coach that can motivate and direct them off the field so that they can perform on the field.'' These sentiments have even been echoed by a few national squad members who have openly questioned Darrell's motivational skills and said that maybe he is a bit too quiet regarding getting on to his players.

"We need better coaching, maybe a foreigner...someone to push them more,'' were the words of another fan.

Nevertheless, Darrell, who took over the programme in 1987 and has a record of 12-7-10 since 1990, has been heralded as Bermuda's most successful international coach, taking them further in this World Cup than any of his predecessors.

The precedent is there for the importing of an overseas coach, with Britons Alan Jones and Graham Adams having performed those duties previously during the 1960s and 1970s.

In fact Bermuda seized a Pan American Games silver medal under Adams in 1967.

"Send Gary Darrell out (for further training) or bring someone in...they bring in all these foreigners anyway,'' harped yet another supporter.
