After averaging at just below one goal per match, ATK's Roy Krishna has lost his scoring boot as he has fired blanks in each of the last five encounters. The Fijian has been reduced to the job of a creator in the absence of his Aussie counterpart.

Against NorthEast United FC, Krishna took 4 shots and created 2 chances. His best moment came in the 40th minute when after collecting a through ball from Edu Garcia, he tried to slot the ball in the far post but got denied.

Krishna isn't enjoying the same form of telepathic communication he used to have with Williams with Jobby Justin or Edu Garcia. He is also playing slightly deep as compared to his target man role which he used to don earlier.

In the absence of his firepower, goals have come from Pronay Halder, Michael Soosairaj, Pritam Kotal, Jobby Justin, and on Monday, Balwant Singh. With Williams inching to recovery quickly, Krishna too should find his scoring boots once again.
