Most liked posts in thread: Jamie Walker

I agree he enjoys a bit of physicality in challenges but we cant afford to have one of our higher earns (I'd think) being on the treatment table more than on the football pitch, his present contract is up in May as good as he could be IMO as a club we cant take the risk of offering an extension to Jamie of another contract.

 

His latest injury is a result of a bad challenge on him which would probably have had the same affect on any player.

Very unlucky for him, and us, as he was enjoying a really good run of form

 

He is a hard tackling midfielder who plays the game in the edge which leads to injuries. To take that out of his game would only make him half the player he is

 

I said at the start of the season that Walker and especially Pattison could be the difference between just being a top half side and being a top 7 side.
I still believe that now but neither of them have played anywhere near enough games to make any difference at all.

Too many games where we’ve been defensively ok but just needed a spark from an attacking,goal scoring midfielder if Cook was a bit off it.

A fully fit (unfortunately we may never see it) Walker and Pattison would make a massive difference to any team in this league.

 

This is a real shame.

Yes, it's frustrating, but what a shame for Jamie who had once again hit great form before suffering an injury.

 

If he wasnt so injury prone the lad would be at a higher level ........... i actually feel sorry for the lad he always gives his just so unlucky

 

I wouldn't hesitate in offering a new contract to him. He remains our best player in my opinion.

 

As usual Kev, Walker takes some bloomin' hard/harsh tackles and the one at Doncaster was a hell of one, right on his ankle.
The lad tried to carry on but no chance.
I don't understand why people knock him for being injured like that, how the hell is it his fault?
I suppose teams know the threat that Jamie provides and their brief is - "take him out, stop him playing"

 

Agree Idle, Doncaster Rovers away when he took yet another whack on the ankle.
Funny that, bloody Doncaster taking out yet another City player,...........and McCann moans about his player getting a bad injury at VP??

 

It's his house in Scotland that has gone up for sale. That suggests he sees his future in England, either with us or another club.

 

Edit - although it really wouldn't surprise me if Sparks handed him a 4 year contract extension.....

 

Jamie takes some right stick from the opposition too Park.
Makes even me wince at some of the 'tackles' that he takes.
Wonder if this is intentional by the opposition as they know that he is a danger.

 

I’d rather have him over Johnny Williams

 

I would not get rid of him. We should 100% give him a new contract. The unfortunate problem was his back-up/replacement in Pattison being injured too

 

The wife's dad spoke to Walker week before last ish he said at the weekend. Jamie goes to play snooker at a members club my father in law goes to. He said he was feeling better and hoping to be back soon.

Assuming he got back onto the grass and something went wrong? Always had his injuries, but can't blame this one on him, just a shit tackle. Says a lot that we cant win a game since his injury, not an easily replaced member of the squad.

 

No way would I get rid of him. Just manage him better. Said in another post, the amount of times Walker was still on the pitch this season and last, when he looked on his arse, was ridiculous. Why? Cause we didn’t have an alternative option.

Pattison should complement the starting XI alongside Walker, not as a replacement of.

When fit, one of our most talented players. Just find a better way of managing him.

 

If you stay after a game Steve you'll definitely seen them doing a warm down Steve, even the subs that don't play do a run.

On Pattison too, he played 47 and then 39 in his two seasons at Harrogate so I think it's very unfair to suggest he's injury prone and any due diligence would have spotted that.

 

They are not cheap, so my guess is no, please don’t let’s waste money on players that are no good enough. In my view Gent is not up to the task,

 

I’d have Elliot Watt over both of them

 

You do know he had a bone break?
