Shrewsbury Town have been on a good run of form since Killian Phillips joined. Assisted the goal in today's 1-0 win and 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.

Unless it's another loan, I'd be surprised if Palace let him go, given the progress he seems to have made. Looks likely to be an important player for our U21s over the next campaign, so a Championship loan next season would be great as long as he's starting games.

Bristol city looking at him as their Scott replacement perhaps. Delighted he’s made such an impression since coming over. Good to see Palace haven’t messed around with him either straight out on loan when first team opportunities dried up.

Was hospitalised at the weekend after a clash of heads with Eiran Cashin. Sounds nasty, hope he's OK. Football still seems to be way behind other sports when it comes to head injuries.

His short term contract is up next season so they may feel it’s just practical to cash in now.
Considering how impressive he has been this season and the sort of clubs (promotion chasers) looking at him in the summer it does seem a bit stupid to be selling him if he explodes and a new contract followed by one more loan would make most sense. PL teams turning their noses up at youngsters is par for the course nowadays.

Linked with a move to Stoke this morning. Coventry and Luton supposedly interested too. Think this lad would be more the attacking midfielder that Stoke would sign rather than Andy Moran.

Luton were heavily linked to him prior to going up. Be interesting to see will they still move for him.

If the Luton interest was genuine then I could still see them making a move even with promotion. Millwall were linked too a few weeks ago when Luton were first mentioned as being interested.

He doesnt really play the same position as Moran, he is more of a CM, Moran a CAM, so both could easily play together (and I think they did vs Iceland?)

Yes at underage level they both played together against Iceland but Phillips played as the attacking midfielder of the trio for Shrewsbury Town.

He still profiles more as an 8 imo, rather than a 10, biggish physical, good in the tackle etc. Hodge, Phillips, Moran seems a nice balanced midfield 3 for the U21s. I wouldnt see him playing as a 10 for Stoke although tbf Smallbone played as an 8 and a 10 a times and as a hybrid of both, even played as 6 occasionally.

His contract runs out on June 2024 according to Transfermarkt prior to his extension. If it’s 2 years added onto that it’s highly promising but also make sense. He’s making real progress.

Aberdeen apparently in for him. Ambitious from them, but they do have guaranteed European group stage football this year.

Interesting that Nixon says Palace may allow the move if he signs a longer deal with them first. Thought they announed last week that they'd agreed a contract extension with Phillips. May have just been a club option to extend it rather than agreeing a new deal.

Aberdeen would be roughly the equivalent of a top end League 1 team these days, so a slight step up from Shrewsbury, where he was last year. But they have a minimum of eight European games this season also, so that might maybe just about bump this up to the equivalent of a Championship loan move.

Would be a wasted year imo.
Even if Phillips has a stormer of a season he won't go from Aberdeen to Palace first team, but a good season in the championship could get him into the Palace team.

Yeah I'd agree, even if an Aberdeen loan went well for a year where does it leave him next year? Still wouldn't be in the Ireland team or Palace team. Ideally a championship side would take him in for the year.

Why would someone not standing to attention for one of the most destructive forces in world history make them "not the brightest spark"? I wasn't aware that Bloody Sunday was the singular questionable event in the British Army's history in Ireland, or indeed, worldwide.

These lads incur abuse because irish media/twitter pick up on it and call them legends and celebrate them for it. If nobody highlighted nobody would care but when it's being highlighted in the manner some people do so it antagonises people.
It's his own personal choice, and I'm quite certain he didn't do it for people to celebrate him or call him a legend. He did it to satisfy his own personal beliefs and nothing more.

To be fair I think if you asked the average British person why Matic didn't want to wear a poppy, they wouldn't have a clue. Unfortunately if an Irish person refuses they're automatically assumed to be an IRA supporter by the legions of thickos here.

In some sense, you can understand the ignorant pricks in England, but what excuse the ignorant pricks in Ireland? McClean has been called a filthy Irish **** in every ground he has played in. But apparently he brings it on himself.

The f*ck does him living in England have to do with it? He's legally entitled to live and work there, there's no concurrent duty on him to partake in their glorification of an organisation that carried out war crimes and atrocities on an industrial scale. Mad line of reasoning - do you have to kick a Uyghur if you visit China? Racially abuse a black person if you're in Nashville? It's all about respecting your hosts, right? |
He works and pays his taxes in the UK he helps pay the wages and helps fund the British army ffs, if he really gave a bollox he wouldn't have moved to England to work for a living. |
Such a sh*te argument, if anything it should give him more of a say!

It shouldn’t be a big deal, should be personal choice |
Nemaja Matic never wore one either! Didn’t ever get any abuse.
Any Irish person having a go at someone for choosing not wear a poppy needs their f**king head examined. |
To be fair I think if you asked the average British person why Matic didn't want to wear a poppy, they wouldn't have a clue. |
Matic also took the approach of citing his recognition, respect, and sympathy for the poppy, while also saying 'not for me.' I also agree that the conflict in Kosovo is not properly remembered (or remembered at all) by a lot of people. Hence, it has gone under the radar in many ways. It can be forgotten that the conflicts in Bosnia and Kosovo were the 1990s version of what is happening in Ukraine today. As a result, Matic is unlikely to be probed further.
But as I've always said, the bulk of the people who will criticise McClean or Phillips will tend to complain about politics and football being intertwined (BLM, rainbow laces etc), the 'woke agenda', and complain that free speech no longer applies, and yet will make an exception for this particular issue, even though it has undoubtedly been hijacked for political ends.

Scales doesnt or at least didnt and so what, why should any Irish man honour the British Army, the poppy has nothing to do with the war anymore, as those lads are mostly dead at this point. It's money for ex-squaddies many of whom served in the North and in other highly questionable conflicts around the world.

Just back from watching him playing for a poor Wycombe team. Was anonymous and showed none of the promise seen with U 21s. Hopefully an off day

Left out of the Wycombe squad today and will go on another loan according to Daniel McDonnell on Twitter.

Strange move, was doing well at League 1 level, surely that’s better than Aberdeen?

Last season he was doing well. This season not so much and Wycombe find themselves in a relegation fight sitting 19th in the league.

I get Aberdeen aren’t having the best season even allowing for that in no universe or reality is Wycombe a better level/team than Aberdeen!
Wycombe was an atrocious move he’d done well at Shrewsbury last year should have been manufacturing a much more progressive move than that for himself!

Came off the bench to make his debut night in 1-1 draw against Dundee. Aberdeen though have decided to sack their manager today.

Almost scored from a long distance lob just before being substituted. Had some nice touches and put in a big shift, good days work from him.
