QuoteStarts today in FA cup, hopefully he establishes himself
Off to Shrewsbury town on loan from Palace. Good move to a solid league one outfit, let’s see how he does. Worth keeping an eye on this guy’s development. Now need Tayo to secure a league 1 or continental Jan loan move
Starts today in FA cup, hopefully he establishes himself
This is my 3rd simultaneous game so not watching it as closely. Phillips is full of running, played in the middle. Had a nice effort in first half, and one pretty poor effort when he should have done better. Shrewsbury are not a bad team, pass the ball well. If he plays, it will be a great move for him. He has a long way to go to be considered for our senior team from this brief viewing
Shrewsbury just scored, shock on the cards vs Sunderland. Would be a good start for Phillips
Not to be, two injury time goals for Sunderland
Phillips is eligible for our Under 21s in the next campaign, so that's probably the level we're looking at for him at the moment. We're not overloaded with centre mids at that age group, so if he plays regularly for Shrewsbury he's a potential starter for the Under 21s.Originally Posted by tommy_c12000
3 starts for Killian in his last 3 games. His first senior league game (outside of Ireland…). 3 wins for Shrewsbury helping them surge up the table.
Shrewsbury dropped Killian for today’s game and they’re struggling without him ? 1-0 down
I'm surprised he was dropped as he seemed to be going well. Maybe he has a knock or something.
Came off the bench and put in a lovely through ball for the winner late in injury time. Early days for him but he looks a useful player this lad.
Hopefully the manager will have learned his lesson. Can’t drop Killian
Should play a leading role in midfield for the U21s in the next campaign.
Started today and assists the winner again. Sounds like it was a good assist from him too.
"Brilliant, brilliant, work from Killian Phillips to first keep the ball and then flick the ball over the Oxford defence. And then a stretching Bowman does just as well to guide the ball past the keeper. "
Played five league games won five and the one game Phillips didn't start they went one nil down and he came on to set up the last minute winner. Think Crawford is gonna be building his attack around this lad. Not only can he play a bit of ball but he's a big unit too.
He was really impressive for Drogs at 17 or 18 when they played Rovers. Big by LoI standards and got around the pitch really well. Great to see him continue to develop. Getting way ahead of myself here but we could use a bit of size in midfield.
Another start today and another win, Shrewsbury marching up the table. Second assist in two matches, here are highlights https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=i171oGx7POk

Goal for him today.
Didn't know Phillips was born in the US. Having a good start to his first stint in senior.
Seems to be well regarded by the fans and contender for MOTM. Definitely offers something different in the middle with his physicality. Could be a great fit in the long term under Viera at Palace with their record of progressing young lower league players.. https://blueandamber.proboards.com/t...-thread?page=3
Great to see he is doing well. I know he is a later developer and even one or two I spoke to at Drogheda were surprised he got the pre season exposure he did so early. Getting a grounding in League One is fantastic and will serve him well.
This piece goes into detail about how hard he has had to work from a fairly low based at Killbarrack United in his teens https://m.independent.ie/sport/socce...-41269451.html
Great article. Good that he’s caught the eye so early - also encouraging that he sounds so disciplined being teetotal - been the curse of so many before him.
That article is a year old so he's kicked on even more since that!
