It’s as if some folk never wanted to give Killip a chance. He has got back in side and up to last Saturday performed decently imo. Unfortunately he decides to have his bad game in the worst of windy conditions that I can ever remember us playing in, which didn’t do a goalie of his size any favours. Also and this isn’t an excuse but the Orient corners in first half were top class delivery and they made the most of the conditions by putting the ball in most dangerous area to pressurise our keeper. Yes he should have done better but it’s what it is and we move on. Drop him for next match and kill his confidence eh?.....not a good idea when really none of us know if Smith is any better of a goalie yet.
incorrect on Isted. We tried to low ball him money wise. We actually offered less than MK Dons did - then he met the Charlton manager while he was on holiday who thought he was signing for us and was amazed we had put in such a poor offer for him and that’s why he moved to Charlton.
You seem to think killip isn't so bad. For me goalkeeper would be number 1 priority in January send Slonina back aswell.
Come on Redrum. Yes we need a goalie. Smith has been Mentioned. But at the mo we have to chose the best option, And Cos I think he ((Killip) isn't so bad, and I stand by that. does not mean we shouldn't go for better. That applies to any department. Menai tyke . As for Isted we were still talking to him and he had other offers as a free agent. I couldn't possibly say what he was offered elsewhere I'm not in the know as you seem to be. But it was stated or rumoured at the time. Duff leaving made his mind up. Duff joined Swansea and Isted signed the day after for Charlton. Coincidence or not. ?
Im sure YT will correct me if I’m wrong. But I understood that both Isted and Luke Thomas has agreed new contracts verbally. We’d made arrangements for photo shoots etc with them both. When Duff left their agents called and said they’d changed their mind due to not knowing who our next gaffer would be.
