It is apparent based on post-match comments made by Martinique players after holding Jamaica to a 1-1 draw on Wednesday night in the CFU Men's Caribbean Cup, that they were expecting a lot more from their hosts.

That the Reggae Boyz failed to secure a win, while settling for a rather tame draw in the end, means that head coach Winfried Schäfer is again labelling tonight's Group B clash with Antigua and Barbuda as yet another 'must win' game.

A flat performance could jeopardise the Reggae Boyz quest for their second title on home soil, and more importantly a place in next year's Gold Cup in the US, while adding more voices for Captain Horace Burrell, the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) president, to sack the German.

"We have to win the next match," Schäfer noted of this evening's game, "I am not happy with our result against Martinique, so we have to win," he reiterated.

The draw might also have changed other opponents view of the Reggae Boyz, Antigua in particular, who showed in a 2-2 draw with Haiti, that they are determined to fight for every point.

"We are going up against Jamaica in a positive mindset, bearing in mind their result against Martinique, but while we do this we remain cautiously optimistic that we will do enough to win," said Antigua and Barbuda coach Ralston Williams.

"That result they had and our draw with Haiti really sets the group up and we want to be the one to capitalise because we aim to be one of the teams in the Gold Cup," said Williams.

He said his team will approach tonight's game with the same fighting spirit that saw them coming from two goals down to hold Haiti to a draw, adding that the Reggae Boyz will be in a dog-fight for the points.

"This is the difference between the two teams. We will scrap and fight for everything and I didn't see that with Jamaica in their game, although it's difficult to judge a team base on one game."

"They are a good team and will bring their A-game. It's up to us to fight all the way and win this encounter," added Williams.

In the first game of the evening, Martinique tackle Haiti at 5:30 p.m. .
