Great info.....but this team is surely not ready for ikeague...they need some foreigners a state league and someone like Khalid Jamil....before they start delivering anything.
Both CB's standing 2nd on both sides, Manpreet Singh(from left) and Sunveer Singh(from right) were pretty decent for this level.
Meanwhile two high profile players Nitin Jyal(Jersey-23/ India U-19) and Jayabrata Dhar(Jersey-9/Pailan Arrows) were both disappointing and were first to be substituted. However Dhar who used to play in defense during Pailan Arrows days is being played as a forward, was better of the two and can definitely improve as he has got great physique and decent skills.
I-League Division 2 level is very poor. Teams like Mohammedan SC and Neroca are definitely a level or two higher in this group.
Fateh Hyderabad have decent young players, but to qualify for I-league they would benefit by signing few players from Goa or Calcutta leagues. Foreign players are actually not required unless they have some quality not just for namesake(2 Africans who were playing for Gangtok SC were bullshit and waste of slots).
Good to know that it was a conscious decision to field a young team and not a star-studded one (vs a decision arising out of money constraints). And also heartening to know that Mr Maurya is in for the long haul. It seems that we fans are more impatient than the promoter.

Colm Toal changed him to a right back as he preferred big lumps up front as strikers who can flick the ball on.
JAYABRATA also suffered 2 ACL injuries while at TFA and lost a yard of pace and almost 2 years due to it.
Best of luck to Yogesh Maurya.
