Not sure what to make of this!
Starting a new job in any industry is a daunting prospect, speaking from experience, it takes some getting used to, not least all the changes that come with it. I’m totally supportive of giving players time to settle in, particularly in Killip’s case.
The most isolated position on the field has to be between the sticks, there is no hiding place for a keeper and any error of judgement however slight is magnified one hundred fold.
Personally I would have shown more faith in my keeper, than to bring someone in, possibly only serving to unnerve during an already difficult period in his life. Hignett could easily have brought one of the kids back from loan without looking as though he lacks confidence in his own acquisition.
It’s the players we know who concern me, not the players we know very little about.
