Unfortunately fractures happen to even the fittest. Hopefully he makes a full recovery. He was bursting a gut (imo) to make things back up to the fans and win us back over. This.

This present injury was more down to bad luck & one any player could receive in a tackle tbh. 1 hour ago, Hectormasson said: Sure theres a jinx on hearts??

kila Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Of all the injury's Walker could get, stopping a potential goal scoring shot is worth it. Shame he's out for so long, but he put himself on the line, that's all we can ask for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Real Maroonblood Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 5 hours ago, FruitJuice said: If he stays injury free, we are due his best years. He had what you could call an average start and had already scored a couple. I love having a member of the Walker family in our side. He did make a massive mistake with the rangers stuff, but this is his club. Well he isn’t at the moment staying injury free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think any dip in form etc will be down to the previous issues of wanting away. He's at that age where he probably just wants to enjoy his football again.

ramrod Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Can't see him having a future at Hearts under Stendel unless he changes his attitude. Massive few weeks for him after he returns from injury , will define his future , the only way is down from Hearts , hopefully he wakes up and smells the coffee It's last chance saloon for him .

Carl Weathers Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I had completely written off Henderson and Brandon but they have looked like different players under Stendel (admittedly they only played a couple games each). Hopefully Walker can push on in a similar way. Edited December 30, 2019 by Carl Weathers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since he has returned i can’t fault his attitude at all and can’t see why folk are hounding him for that. Where he can be criticised is his lack of influence on games - compared to before. Is it due to injuries.....maybe? I tend to hope that it was the ‘Levein’ factor meaning that with Stendel we may see the old Walker. Like everyone else, the slate is clean.

cosanostra Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Nothing wrong with his attitude. He's just a shitty, broken down version of a formerly effective player.

FruitJuice Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 When we were struggling for goals over the last few weeks, would playing a fit Walker as a striker been a bad thing? Look at his two goals already this season and you can see he can find the net. Does anyone think he would get goals if he ever has to stand in striker? I think hed be a better forward than Uche.

Victorian Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Maybe he would be fitter and stronger if he put the hours in in training and looked after himself.

He is an asset when fit and in the mood, he's never going to be particularly fit and was a ridiculous signing given his injuries.
