    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

    If that's the case, I'd snap their **** off.

    Why has the bleep machine blocked out the word ‘hand’?
    Can we say hand even?
    Is it offensive to osteoporosis sufferers?

    I'm that desperate for us to sign him, I went for a body part much stronger than the hand.

    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 think it’s that he doesn’t make any saves. Compared to Roberts who digged us out loads of times.

    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.

    Don't assume BFC are switched on to anything these days.

    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.

    That's what happens when you loan players

    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.

    Depends what they’re asking for surely. We can speculate all we want but we simply don’t know

    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.
