Killip is nowhere near good enough, should never have been brought in. Keeper needed if Roberts gets recalled.
If we don’t get a deal sorted for him in Jan we deserve everting that comes our way. We sorted a below average stopper on a free that we are having to play now as our first team keeper.
Are you sure, mate? I know this is usually the thing, but perhaps Middlesbrough only agreed to the initial deal on the basis they're allowed to recall him in January if they so choose
Why has the bleep machine blocked out the word ‘hand’? Can we say hand even? Is it offensive to osteoporosis sufferers?
There's a lot of criticism of Killip in this thread. Is he that bad? I've not noticed him make too many mistakes. He's often been let down by the players ahead of him in my opinion. He's no Roberts like.
I also think that with how good Roberts has looked, how many 'clear' goals he's saved, it's making Killip look even worse, if that makes sense
Possibly but I think it shows signing a goalkeeper from a team that got relegated from league two wasn’t really the greatest piece of recruitment either.
He looked okay first couple of games for us, but poor the last couple. Overall, I wasn't really that bothered we signed him, back up goalkeeper wasn't big on the priority list. Even when Roberts is back I doubt we'd be looking for another back up keeper in Jan. Fingers crossed Boro don't want him back...
Not impressed with Killip, bit of a lightweight who struggled to get in firsteam of a league2 team last season. Roberts in a different league (literally) in goalkeeping terms.
Kind of disagree we signed a backup keeper from a team that just got relegated - we also signed O’keefe from a team that be played a part in bring relegated.
Can’t recall him barely making a save. Plus he’s got no presence at all when crosses come into the box. Not good enough to be a regular number 1.
Aye, definitely understandable a couple of years ago why the board said they don't want to bring in loanees. Hopefully we've got him till at least the end of the season
You’d have thought if that’s the case it would have been a loan until Jan. The rules are clear loans can only be cut short if both teams agree and both us and Boro said it was season long.
The one positive is that by all accounts he had numerous L1 clubs come in for him & he picked us. Hopefully for the right reasons and that stands us in good stead.
