    Obviously well thought of down there. Maybe letting him go wasn’t such a great idea?

    Was it Coincidence that we got worse defensively after his departure, if memory serves me right he was the 3rd best keeper stats wise in L1 at the time and wasn't pushing for a move until we made the crazy decsion to unsettle things by bringing in another keeper which wasn't a priority at that time.
    Good luck to him

    I don't post much but lets not get carried away here - Killip was crap, he was poor with his feet and rooted to his line. Any deterioration of defence stats is purely coincidence.

    I’m more concerned that Liam Roberts has signed for Mansfield. We should’ve been all over that with no fee.

    Wouldn't surprise me if he didn't even wanna come back with amount of stick he got second half of season, especially considering how brilliant he was for the first half

    Killip isn't a great keeper. Simple as that He'll save a few shots. If he's got a decent contract at Pompey good for him but it implies to me that Pompey have someone like Sormaz at the helm.

    Clem Rodrigues.

    Since going back to France he has been getting some 'goalie when' minutes in training.

    It's little things like that that SuperMlad picks up on.

    Awesome! Now Mladen is being linked to bad decisions at other clubs. Will it ever end! :)

    We sat 5th in the table after an excellent Xmas and New year period where Killip kept us in games like Wrexham at home, his stats didn't lie 3rd best at the time, if he was that crap a championship club wouldn't have come in for him.

    Mladen is arguably the cause of the Ukraine war and the genocide/conflict in Gaza. He has also caused global warming, decline in ecosystems and rise in authoritarian governments. Get him out of our club.

    People quickly forget how good he was that first half of season for us, yes, he dropped off second, after the injury, but very good keeper for this level. If he can refind some form, he'll be excellent for Mansfield

    Well he has played 2 games because of injuries.

    He's a cheap back up keeper.
