Technical director Derek Broadley has vowed to vastly improve the professional standards of national team tours after observing Bermuda's overseas trip to Cayman Islands.

The former Crystal Palace academy director, who returned to Bermuda with their victorious players earlier this week, believes more attention to detail must be particularly paid to travel arrangements and tour itineraries when the 'Gombey Warriors' go away.

"First and foremost the trip was all about getting the right result," said Broadley.

"But personally I feel we need to improve our overseas trips as we look to move forward. I didn't think our hotel was really appropriate for the squad.

"At the moment we organise the visiting team's travel arrangements and they arrange ours when we go away. I'm not comfortable with that. I want us to be in control of our destiny regarding our hotel and the foods we eat. I also thought we could have held more than one training session in the lead up to the game. These are areas where we need to do more research for future trips."

Broadley, who watched Bermuda's 3-1 win from the dugout, stressed he was impressed the players' conduct during the Cayman trip and was encouraged by their performance. But he believes more effort must go into ensuring players are kept fully occupied during build up to games and aims to introduce more team activities.

"I must commend all the players for the way they conducted themselves in Cayman," he said. "I thought they were excellent and I received a lot of positive feedback from the hotel staff and people at the airports.

"But I think we must improve our appearance at little when we travel away and try and look a bit more professional.

"I also felt our itinerary could be utilised a bit better and there was probably too much free time for the players.

"From experiences travelling with Palace I know you need to keep the players occupied when they travel away and that's an area I'll be looking to improve. I'm fine with the players watching Premiership matches but I'd rather they do it together in the hotel.

"I saw a lot of the boys enjoying themselves playing table tennis and I thought it would have been a good idea to get a little tournament going."

Bermuda's comfortable victory over Cayman has ensured they will tangle with Caribbean powerhouse Trinidad and Tobago in the next phase of the World Cup qualifiers, and Broadley, who scouted the Soca Warriors 2-2 with Jamaica last week, concedes the Islanders face an uphill struggle.

"Obviously Trinidad and Tobago are a very strong side with World Cup experience," he said.

"It was an inexperienced Trinidad I saw against Jamaica and I anticipate they will call upon senior players like Sunderland's Kenwyn Jones and Carlos Edwards.

"It's going to be a real tall order that's for sure.

"But I was pleasantly surprised about the way our boys played after the first 20-minutes against Cayman, which was a difficult spell for us.

"The could tell some of the younger players had not experienced that type of intense atmosphere before and they will certainly learn from the experience.

"I was impressed with the likes of Timmy Figuerido, John Barry Nusum and Khano Smith who really stepped up and helped carry the team through."
