After suffering a late 0-1 defeat against ATK Mohun Bagan, Jamshedpur FC head coach Aidy Boothroyd talks about his thoughts on the final result and more.
What are your thoughts on the penalty?
I didn’t see the incident. I’ve tried to see the incident but couldn’t. I can’t understand why we have a terrific game plan, two really good debuts, everything that was going really well just to throw it away seconds before the final whistle. I will have a look at it and I’ll deal with it when I look at it. I’m getting conflicting views, from him and other people so I need to have a look at it myself.
What do you think is the reason for the team’s contrasting performance this season?
The reason is really simple, the reason is we lost two of the best players from last season, Greg Stewart with 10 goals and 10 assists and Pronay (Halder). They were very good and now there have been lots of changes. We are not the champions anymore, we are in a rebuilding phase as far as I look at it. That means we need to get new players in and we will be doing that in January, adding to two great debuts tonight, from Rafael Crivellaro and Vishal Yadav.
Is making a lot of changes in the playing eleven the reason for the outcomes?
I think looking at tonight, we need to managed to get Rafael Crivellaro in the team and keep the back four the same on a regular basis. I felt the Vishal Yadav was outstanding tonight and I’m really pleased. So there are positives from the game clearly but overall, there’s a cloud over us and I need to get to the bottom of this, it’s not acceptable if that’s the case.
On the reason for utilising JET as the defensive midfielder?
Because he is a good player. He can get on the ball, doesn’t panic when he gets it, keeps it, and had a great link-up with Rafael in the early parts of the game.
