    In today's T&A article Walker states he hadn't decided before the match but the way the match went and the reaction from the crowd to him made his mind up that he wanted to stay. He met his agent straight after the game (already pre-arranged) and said he wanted to stay.

    His wife has been responded to messages on Twitter and has said they're going to move down

    I think we are all certain MH won’t rush him back like a certain previous manager?

    To be fair he’s been brilliant with all those with injury histories. I know Angol is not playing full 90’s but who would have thought he could go this long without another hamstring absence?
    Likewise Eisa hasn’t looked too bad so far?

    Genuinely shocked and surprised by this. What a signing this could turn out to be! Am delighted. Hopefully a real statement of intent and a sign of things to come!

    Impressive that we have announced a quality signing before the league season has finished. Well I never!

    So true unfortunately players easily forget that the club carried him through his injuries etc, if it is as rumoured Lincoln City they cant be offering him a lot more money than City could, they could struggle next season they have hardly lite up the division as they did the other season, he needs to sit down and talk to Sparkie about what City could offer.

    It looks as though our better players are buying into the potential of the MH effect, which on the face of it for most L2/L1 players weighing up their options unless it's a top end L1 club then playing under someone of the stature of MH is a no brainer really.

    Looking at the Stats, then for an ‘attacking’ midfielder, the number of goals he has scored is notably low, to say the very least. Ignoring the U23/U19, then he has apparently played 184 senior games over four clubs. In that time he has only scored 13 goals. I like him on the ball, but quite frankly we need goals from an ‘attacking’ midfielder. His career average seems to be about 1 goal in 14+ games. It seems to me as though he passes rather than shoots and fails to attack the penalty box. I think he probably needs a fresh start. Good luck to the lad, I certainly would not boo him if he returns with another club. https://www.transfermarkt.com/callum-cooke/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/258882

    Then 3 months down the line she says you made us leave Edinburgh for this! He must be a sweet talker.

    Wife and kids did that for me 30 years ago. Brilliant job offer in London…..We upped sticks from Bradford……never looked back . That move paid huge dividends for us in oh so many ways. Do I miss the Dolly and VP still….. you bet I do!

    I believe she was on the pitch with him and the kids after the game Saturday. Must have been impressed with his reception.
    If she can settle down here, he will be happy and enjoy his time with us.

    he suits a team that puts the opposition on the back foot an allows him to go up against his man time an time again, so what we were doing last season. The reason it hasn’t worked so far is because we spend most of the game passing around the back an when Dion does decide to come back to collect the ball (as no one else wants it) he’s getting pressed from the get go an is also playing with his back to goal

    To be honest I think we're missing Lee in the starting line up he holds the ball up well and brings others in to the game very well he hasn't really had a chance yet. If I were sparkie I'd be thinking about giving him a start and a run in the team

    I think we will see him play 1st half against Salford in the PJT.
    Another behind closed doors match during our week off tied in with hard training will see him on the bench for the Orient or Gillingham games.
