Sandhu fumbled on several occasions

Sandhu, best known for his spell with Norwegian side Stabaek FC was highly regarded as the potential replacement of the legendary Indian Goalkeeper Subrata Paul, often nicknamed as the 'Spiderman'.

He has been inconsistent since then with wonderful performances in a certain match by bailing his side with some top-notch saves, but failing to collect simple aerial balls in the other.

Sandhu despite having a lot of experience at his back, has seen a slight dip in form recently. Sandhu has leaked quite a number of lousy goals in this season from distance.

Although his height gives him a huge added advantage in collecting incoming aerial balls, Sandhu fumbled on several occasions in the Super Cup Tie against Neroca FC.

A long floated freekick from Aryn Williams was terribly handled by Sandhu which fell to Pritam Singh who slotted it home late in the first half to equalise for Neroca.

Sandhu was unable to get hold of few other crosses and long balls but fortunately for him there was no Orange Shirt prying around to cause trouble.
