I feel this is the perfect game to give more exposure and game time to lesser seen youngsters like Narender, Poojari and Reynier. If I were the coach my initial starting 11 would be - Gurpreet, Kotal (we have to give him more time as RB in NT to prove his worth), Narender, Adil, Subhashish Bose (LB) Reynier (Holding midfielder), Thapa (Box to box), Sahal (CAM) Nikhil poojari (RW), Ashique (LW), Chettri (Striker). Let this team play out the first half, try their best to open up Bangla defence and if possible the score. This way we can also assess if Poojari can be a viable alternative to Udanta on Right wing plus giving valuable game time to Narender, Kotal, Reynier and Ashique. In second half, if score is 0-0 or if Bangladesh have taken a lead against us then we can introduce Udanta for Poojari, Changte for Ashique and Brandon for either Reynier or Sahal. If we are already leading then we can let the initial 11 play out tge entire game
