Reflecting on his team's performance in their 4-0 hammering at the hands of Gokulam Kerala, Wadoo said:

"Accepted the defeat. Gokulam is a very good team. They are on top of the table but yes we did not play at all. We did not play accoridng to our plan. The things we had planned in our training sessions did not work at all."
