Ahead of Saturday afternoon's postponed Sky Bet League 1 clash with Fleetwood Town, Walsall Football Club's Goalkeeping Coach Neil Cutler has spoken to club journalists and discussed summer signing Neil Etheridge, and praised the impact that the Philippines international has had on the team.
Speaking via Saddlers.co.uk, Cutler said; “He’s done really well. He’s offered us something different to what Richard O’Donnell offered us in the past. Rich did really well for us but Neil brings us a different side.
“He’s bold, he’s brave and he comes for things that no other keeper in this league comes for. He’s got a really good personality and is a confident boy. He’s progressing all the time because he wants to get better.
“He’s not even played a full season yet so he’s not got that experience, although he’s played a lot of games internationally. Now he needs to work on being consistent, playing games and getting some seasons under his belt. As you can see, he’s getting better from playing games.
“He’s becoming more of a voice in the group and is really quick, and if you speak to those boys in front of him they’ll tell you he’s a big player and a big influence. Neil is a big part of why we’ve done so well this season.”
