Wasn't universally welcomed back but performances won the fans over. If walker is having a few bad games, the fans who lost a bit of trust in him will maybe think it's him.not trying again. Not saying that he wouldn't be trying but after how it ended the last time and the accusations of giving up, some fans might think the same. A few good performances when he comes back will dispel this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A goal at Aberdeen and poor v Ross County. He was maybe playing better than expected but hardly playing well. The fact people were applauding him for making a tackle, says a lot about his expectations. I hope he does well for us but I don't think it'll happen. He doesn't have the balls, the belief or the fitness to make it under Stendel. I expect to see him out on loan next month. However, he'll always get my backing, when on the pitch for us.

Jamhammer Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 As others have said he got an injury putting in a potential goal saving tackle. He’s made mistakes but, obviously everyone on here is perfect. At the end of the day either DS will get a tune out of him and he’ll thrive or he’ll be away. He can pass a ball and score goals.

Taffin Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I was impressed in a bizarre way when he got injured as I didn't expect Walker to be sprinting back to make a challenge like that so I'm happy to give him until the end of the season to show that he really has brought some determination and commitment with him. He should never had been signed though, but what's done is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Beni of Gorgie Posted December 31, 2019 Share Posted December 31, 2019 I'm sure Stendel will work it out. Clare would have been hung from the Christmas tree by a distance.

Stendel was quoted as saying the players that are out injured every couple of weeks are no good to him going forward. Unless Jamie starts ripping it up and contributing when he's fit and well , with his recent injury record he's going to struggle to have a future at the club going forward imo Edited December 31, 2019 by ramrod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, it was a potential goal stopping challenge and he didn't shy away from the commitment. Hopefully see the Walker of old soon which I think will happen under Stendel.

Stendel lioks to be a different animal from the previous jokers and if he's not fit and firing he's dead in the water as far as Hearts are concerned. He definitely had great ability, he just needs to stay fit and take responsibility attacking wise to cement his place in the team . Clare should be his inspiration as he was patently on the way out till Stendel came in . It's in his hands to silence the doubters and get his career back on track . "guys like you big up Jamie's ability" ? That sounds like you disagree with me. And then you agree with pretty much everything I've said. The one exception being our view on injuries. Hearts are an employer and have a duty of care to their employees. You can't rip up players contracts just because they get injured, especially when they get injured on your time.
