Byyy The Light Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Not sure how I feel about this one. Wasn’t impressed with how he left (that’s football) but he’s got the ability to ghost past people, score a goal out of nothing and give us a spark we just don’t have at the moment. Played in the right system I think he could cause teams problems alongside Naismith. 100 times more effective than Clare. I think I’d rather take him than a punt on an unknown.

And who would have predicted Wes Hoolahan would play over 100 EPL games, plus another 200 at the top end of the Championship?

sandyk Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 TBH, the way Evans used Walker was never going to work at Peterborough. The first couple of times I saw him there he was most effective running with the ball but then Evans decided to change the approach. I last saw him there against Barnsley and the ball just kept on flying over his head and he was subbed after about 30 mins. Hardly got a look in after that and spent most of the time on the bench. Cummings was the same, did fine to start with then Evans changed the approach and they started to drop points. No surprise Evans was binned, was not particularly well thought of. BTW, he left because Wigan need him back as cover, not because he and Evans fell out, although it was obvious he was not in his plans and they did not quite see eye to eye. Would have been interesting to see how Ferguson would have used him. That all said, would he get back to how we used to enjoy watching him? Not sure, he has talent, but his injury record makes me wonder. Such a shame, because fit and on form, it would be a no brainer for me.

Walker is tried and tested in that role and could even learn from Naismith. Maybe one of the kids are ready to make the step up as cover? Maybe Jamie is as shit as he was when he left/has been since and couldn't do a job any more? Maybe he wouldn't want to sit on the bench until Naismith gets injured? Maybe there are far better options out there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His football 'career' has as much life in it than a pack of supermarket sausages. Do yourselves a favour and stop bleating on about him. Correct.

Jamboelite Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The amount of people that hold on about ex players ffs Do people forget Walker was pish for a large spell at the end of his time at our club. What exactly has changed ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have expected him to have got more regular game time at Peterborough, that being the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
