#5 End of a content season for Jamshedpur

A formidable performance for Jamshedpur this season

Having started the season on the brightest of notes, Jamshedpur would have hoped to make it to the playoffs this time around but it wasn’t to be.

After taking the reigns from Steve Coppell, coach Caser Ferrando was expected to dismantle the shortcomings of the last season to a more convincing position for Jamshedpur in this season and the performance in the first half of the season looked quite motivated for the miners.

With the number of foreign midfield signings, Jamshedpur was well guarded with the services of players like Calvo, Morgado, Cido, Memo among others. Jamshedpur’s defensive half was also clinical this season as they were amongst the strongest defensive units in the competition.

However, the area where Jamshedpur lacked has been their attack which was also plagued by injuries at a crucial juncture of the competition. The absence of a proper striker left Jamshedpur wandering for a way to capitalise on their passing game as they relied heavily on their wingers and midfielders to support the attacking option.

Having lost only 3 games this season Jamshedpur will take a lot of positives from the season as they will hope to retain the likes of Soosairaj, Tiri and Memo going into the next season of the tournament and go one better than this one.
