#1 Subhasish Roy Chowdhury
The 30-year-old has been given the start after the departure of Morgan in the last few matches of the I-League. Subhasish has impressed under the bar and looks set to be a part of the starting eleven in the Federation Cup.
TP Rehenesh’s lack of form was a massive factor which disrupted their quest for the league title. His casual slips ups had proved costly as East Bengal lost back to back matches at a critical stage. The team could keep a clean sheet in only 33% of their outings this season, not the best of defensive records when competing for the title.
Subhasish seemed a bit jaded in the initial stages but was quick to find his feet as he kept a clean sheet in the last match against Mumbai FC. Therefore, it is imperative that Rehenesh makes way for the more experienced custodian in the Federation Cup, which starts in a week.
