Well aware that the Englishman is still a hot property among a section of East Bengal fans, KBFC assistant coach Morgan is counting on the support in their bid for a maiden win in the Indian Super League.
"I know ATK have got some fanbase from Mohun Bagan and East Bengal but I know that there's a section of fans in East Bengal, who would root for me. We maybe underdogs but we are able to create upsets."
"Lobo under me didn't score but he showed class... We'll certainly have our plans ready for him but at the same time we are not singling out anyone in particular. It's a team game afterall."
KBFC have suffered two consecutive defeats both in away matches as they are yet to play at home but Morgan said they have it in them to make a comeback.
Bolstered by their 3-0 win in a friendly here at the SAI ground, Morgan said: "We hardly got any practice... But boys are looking fine, the results don't matter what matters is the performance. I'm hopeful of doing well.
