Sam Walker Signs on 2 Year Contract

I should add that I didn't mean you personally. Actually, I think you're a great poster here and often agree with you on most things. Sometimes my wording isn't the best!

 

Fair enough mate, and thanks for that, same back at you

 

Is this the first sign of a love- in

 

Get a room.....

 

Walker seems a decent bloke, he improved after a shaky start last season and came up with some important saves, last game against Fleetwood springs to mind. However, as Jon says, we've gone up a division and will face much sterner tests. Personally, I think he is okay, but I feel newly promoted sides need better than that. I'd look into the loan market and see what is available.

 

Really nice guy, improved a little as the season went on, but he has been terrible in the last 5 games of last season, rooted on his goal line, putting heavy pressure on his defense, getting beaten at the near post multiple times.. terrible positioning, although have to admit he pulled off a great save vs Fleetwood but unfortunately we won't be playing the fleetwoods anymore. We should give the other lad a chance or look at the loan market

 

He was nowhere near terrible for the last 5 games. Against Swindon if it wasn't for him the game would have been lost long before injury time, against Notts he did everything he could and had no chance with the goal. In the match before this 5 games period he pulled off a brilliant save to save Crewe's penalty.
If the player of the year awards had a runners up award I'm sure he would have got quite a few

 

I wouldn’t bother engaging.
They only pick the last 5 games because they include the 5 at Swindon (down to 10 men) and the 3 at Chesterfield.

Including the previous 41 games where we conceded 31(obviously less than 1 a game) doesn’t back up their ridiculous argument that Walker was a liability in goal last season.

He just wasn’t.

 

You forgot to mention the missed punches, the lack of vocals towards the defense, the lack of a decent goal kick, being unable to kick from his hands to a City player, not being able to catch and making the goalie shirt look awful. Have I missed anything?

 

Can't believe we got promoted with him in goal.

 

How did he manage 25 clean sheets

 

I think there was no "near post" in those games. Can't think of anything else TBH.
