Post-match comments!!

Owen Coyle (Jamshedpur FC head coach):  "This group of lads have been terrific. I have boys who couldn't get games for their previous clubs like Len (Doungel) and Boris (Singh). We have picked some of the players and turned them into good players. I love working with young players and I think our Indian players have the potential to be very good players. Credit to NorthEast (United FC) for fighting till the end but overall, we were miles ahead of NorthEast as a team." Khalid Jamil (NorthEast United FC head coach):  "Today we gifted them the last goal and gave them all the three points. We have signed two foreigners but they won't be available for the next match." NorthEast United FC's Deshorn Brown on the loss:  "This loss is pretty tough. It is shocking to me but this is football. I have to brush this off and look forward. Defensively, we need to be stronger and more cleever. We are scoring but we are conceding silly goals. We even saw this against Mumbai (City FC). We thought we will get a point tonight but that didn't happen.  Jamshedpur FC's Ishan Pandita (Hero of the Match):  "I think this goal is on the top. I am happy and looking more positive to be finding more goals. I think today was very crucial and it was a must-win game. It is a massive three points. I have a lot of experienced players in my position. I am young and my cup is empty. There is a lot of room for improvement."

 

7:30 PM- Kick-off!!

7:15 PM- What are the coaches saying?

Owen Coyle (Jamshedpur FC head coach) on opponent NorthEast United FC: " Yeah, I think NorthEast United are always a very tough opponent, as they showed that last time out against Mumbai City FC. Deshorn, someone whom I have known from my time in the American Leagues, is a great lad. And he had a tremendous form in the game and prior to that as well, they were unlucky as it ended 3-2 against ATK Mohun Bagan. NorthEast have come out of tough games and shown they can stand toe to toe with a good team." "So I am under no illusions of how tough the game would be. They'll get our utmost respect. Khalid is someone I like and has done very well with the team who has worked hard for him." Khalid Jamil (NorthEast United FC head coach) on the development of Indian players: " All the players are working extremely hard and if anything, they are waiting for their chance, to improve themselves, to get more game time. You see the Indian players, Gurjinder Kumar, Mirshad Michu, Mashoor Shereef, Imran Khan, Provat Lakra, Pragyan, Shehnaj Singh, Danmawia [Laldanmawia Ralte], Mapuia [Lalkhawpuimawia], Chhara [Rochharzela]." "All these players are giving their absolute best and giving them a chance improves their confidence, they can play very well."

MATCH PREVIEW: ISL 2022: Jamshedpur seeks revival in clash against NEUFC

Jamshedpur FC (JFC) will look to return to winning ways as it takes on NorthEast United (NEUFC) in Match 51 of the Indian Super League (ISL) at the GMC Athletic Stadium in Bambolim, Goa on Thursday.  

The Red Miners secured its last win on December 14 and has managed to earn just two points from three games since and lost its last match 1-0 to Chennaiyin FC. 

On Jamshedpur's way stands NEUFC striker Deshorn Brown, who spoiled JFC’s party the last time these two sides met. Khalid Jamil, NEUFC’s head coach, said that his team would “aim for three points and nothing less”.  

NorthEast United, on the other hand, sits second from the bottom in the table, with three losses in its last three games, and will be without Khassa Camara, who is on national duty with Mauritania for the African Cup of Nations.   

It had lost its midfield talisman, Federico Gallego, earlier in the season with an injury and will also be without winger Gani Nigam, as confirmed by the head coach.  

“We know that we’re capable of winning games and that’s what we need to do,” JFC coach Owen Coyle told the press before the match.  

As the ISL reaches its mid-point, both sides will try to secure three crucial points, either to get into top-four or to keep hopes of the same, alive (for NEUFC).
