Still no sight of Neusser...

Having attended the East Grinstead game last Sunday, it still seems to be a case of Neusser not being around for 1's fixtures. In all random relatedness, it seems more like a sort of trying to sight the-lesser-spotted-Neusser, with him not even benching. Even when Hamish Coates signed with Hampstead last season he was benching. Not being around the set-up to know much about training sessions and if he has been there to push Potton at training, but with the Sussex side back on scoring form they don't need their goalkeeper to be lights out when they can simply steamroller teams through offensive power. Who knows if the idea was to put psychological pressure on Potton to see him play better (and rank it up a notch), but from an external perspective seems rather random. I will get round to finally posting up analysis of if he would have what it takes to play at this level, but due to ill physical health of late (it's like flu but not flu and still waiting for the doctor's to work it out!) haven't managed to get round to it yet.

East Grinstead already had their young benching goalkeeper Jack Edgerton playing 2s to gain playing experience, with the 3s withdrawn from the London Higgins League, so seems a little strange to make this level of commitment without involving him in games.

Potton still starting for EG

So it looks like Potton is still first choice for now at East Grinstead, in spite of the signing of Czech international Filip Neusser. And with the high scoring squad not needing a high level goalkeeper to be a difference maker (kind of what you'd expect of a Brazilian football side who see the goalkeeper as the worst player on the field in the first place for some reason!), one wonders why the signing took place. While Neusser was awarded 'goalkeeper of the tournament' for the club indoor championships at the K2 for his performances, helping out the Sussex side in the indoor format, he seems as yet to start in outdoor games for the side. Having attended parts of the home game against Hampstead & Westminster, it will be interesting to see/find out if he makes the team sheet tomorrow (given no goalkeeper was on the bench today), so for now Potton is goalie supreme for EG 1's.

Neusser signs for East Grinstead outdoor as well

Not content with simply being the "go to guy" for East Grinstead in indoor competition, Czech international goalkeeper Filip Neusser has also joined them for the second half of the season as well. With experience playing for his home nation in international competition outdoor as well, it will be interesting to see if he can adapt his form and technique to offer East Grinstead extra competition under the crossbar. Whether he'll be here just to warm the bench I don't know, but cutting an imposing figure with his ridiculous natural height (as shown in the linked photo!), he's sure to scare shooters and make it difficult for East Grinstead to concede.



Neusser helps EG to back to back medals in Maxifuels indoor tournie

Filip Neusser was in good form at the weekend for East Grinstead to help them to back to back success in the Maxifuels finals. After signing with the Sussex based club last year Neusser made the trip back to offer them an experienced goalkeeper with indoor pedigree as they looked to challenge for titles in England and in the Euro league competition. Rushing around like a madman apparently, Neusser was in fine form and put in the legwork to make the difference.

Tube rhp popular in English indoor

Another interesting thing to pick up on for the indoor season so far is the preference for the tube style rhp for ground work and low to ground technique; with clearances and stick tackling easier with that sweeping motion and greater level of contact when diving etc. Although there is a bit of an even split in the men's premier division, there are a fair amount of goalkeepers making use of this style of glove. Filip Neusser (who wears the same rhp for outdoor play anyway!), along with Bowdon's Rob Turner, who has previously prefered the larger blocking surface of the hi rebound Obo rhp are some key wearers of this style of glove. Deakin playing for Sevenoaks (ex-EG) also prefers this style of glove for indoor and outdoor. Interestingly Maddie Hinch in the women's is using the larger hi rebound as mentioned, compared to her usual use of the hi control design.
