    Then have him set-up scrimmages between the players in the camp itself or get a local side to play against you.

    The facts are this. Nepal is currently out of season, the players have barely played at all recently and honestly on paper lack completely to India. India on the other hand is well in season and has been playing since September/October.

    We won't beat them in our sleep but we should beat them over two legs without all these practice matches and shit.

    scrimmages between the
    players in the camp itself
    that can be done but its better to have a practice match against local team or u23 ....yeah its true Indian players are in season but they have not played as India ...there is diff. its takes time to gel ... if they play a match they will know wat role is expected from them to play so a match will help regardless whom we are playing but u23 team will be great a competitive match....

    I agree but I am trying to look at the time they will probably be given and also the fact that the majority of the players from the U23 will probably be either already with the senior side or playing with their respective I-League clubs (the I-League is still going on during this period). So you can't play against the U23s.

    Other than playing a scrimmage against each other or a practice match against a local side there is not much that can be done.

    Just looked at the AIFF article, so the camp starts March 4th. Now, with I-League games happening who knows whether the players playing that day will join straight away or a day later but overall, we have a week. Assam have many local clubs who India can play in a scrimmage before the actual match itself.

    yup even if u23 is not possible but playing wide local club will help of course we don't want fatigue issue so giving every player 45 min wud be great I want NFC eyandoh to start in the match apart from that I don't feel Nepal match is good place to hand debut to youngster ...better stick with subrata sunil Miranda and mehtab + eyandoh sandesh jinghan arnab ...and yeah nabi ..
