One thing I noticed about the triallist goalkeeper we had today was his ability at kicking the ball out. His kicks were pretty accurate, but he tempered trajectory, length, and power, when it seemed suitable. Most of the time to pretty good effect.
Maybe I imagined it, but he was a lot more than simply hoof it long, maybe he is part of the new fashion of goalkeeper/defender or something.2 -
I have a feeling that Enslin might be one whose 'first team' debut will come in the silly buggers cup this season.
If we field a team of lesser playing first team squad members plus some U21's, Enslin might get a mini breakthrough.0 -

Thanks all, great spot. There's a short interview here which I found after Googling his name in Japanese which is on Transfermarkt. Translating it shows his dad is English, his mother is Japanese and he can speak Japanese.

Some good stuff in here about the U21’s. Players in the academy clearly being coached to play the NJ way which is good.
