Poll Results: East Bengal Will Rise
It’s the judgement day. The verdict is out. Goal.com fans opine that East Bengal will rise from the ashes and find their way back in the ongoing I-League...

The
Red and Gold’s season has been full of controversies and it began with the club
management not showing their interest to retain Sunil Chhetri, Surkumar Singh
and Subrata Paul.
This was followed by some bombastic statements made to the press by the then coach Subhash Bhowmick stating that their aim was to win the AFC Cup and go a step further than Dempo SC!
Thereafter, the team went to Jagannath Puri and Myanmar for their pre-season. All the facade of a great season ahead went down as they were beaten fair and square by Tata Football Academy (TFA) and Chirag United, followed by Shilong Lajong and Mahindra United.
In the I-League, the 5-3 drubbing at the hands of Mohun Bagan was probably the rubbing of salt to their injuries and one of the biggest defeats they suffered and thus, letting the Green and Maroons avenge their 5-0 drubbing of 1975.
Bhowmick has resigned and Philippe De Ridder is expected to take over soon.
Goal.com conducted a poll asking the readers whether the Kolkata side will be able to rise back from the rock bottom which they seemed to have hit.
As many 57.17% readers felt that East Bengal will find their way back in the I-League. East Bengal have drawn and won each in their last two matches and face Air India next. Results:
Can East Bengal Rise From The 5-3 Defeat At The Hands Of Mohun Bagan?
Yes 57.14%
Nope 42.86%
