Tasavallan Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 The Hibs goals last night showcased why Jamie Walker is no longer Premiership class. Hearts were pressing, he got the ball on left side of Hibs' box. He dallied with the ball, tried to beat 3 players, lost it and let Hibs start a counter attack with the Hearts' players stranded pressing in the Hibs' half. Trying to live of nostalgic knees. Will never start again with talent like Moore/Nicholson coming through from the Academy. Yet he has a contract to Summer of '22. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey1874 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Not his best. Didn't get into the pace of the game. But he did well in other games notably Kilmarnock and Falkirk. Still a key player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH1986 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hard game to make an impact as a sub...... But Walker is on borrowed time at Hearts. Doesn’t have pace, energy or stamina to play at this level anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miko Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Wasn't great when he came on but it is very difficult to get up to speed off the bench in a derby. Likewise I thought Naisy struggled off the bench as well. Not going to criticise him too much. Showed enough in his last couple of performances to indicate that he is willing to knuckle down and contribute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naismith played the pass behind him, which was difficult to control. He then tried to play a ball through to Hickey that got blocked. This all happened about 35 yards from goal out on the left. There was opportunity to defend after that pass was blocked. He never dallied or tried to take on 3 hibs players neither were Hearts players stranded in hibs half. There were 7 Hearts players in the box when hibs scored. Edited March 4, 2020 by Dallas Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lambo85 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Walker has been totally overatted his entire career. He was very promising from a young age but because of his attitude, workrate and injuries his career has gone backwards. He was never good enough to make it down South but cant blame him for trying. He is still a decent player to have in the squad though and if he is in the right midset, can make an impact coming off the bench. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never start again with talent like Moore/Nicholson coming through from the Academy. Yet he has a contract to Summer of '22. Walker recently has shown he CAN be a useful player - if it wasn’t for him then it’s unlikely we would have got a point vs Accies. Stendel himself as spoken warmly of Walker so I don’t see why folk can’t get past the nonsense of when he left. It was crap behaviour agreed but it’s done now. Let’s be honest, if Stendel didn’t think he was useful, he’d be getting no game time - just ask Uche or Berra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dia Liom Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Folk have been desperate to write him off for years. Maybe not a starter at the moment, but a player with the ability to knick a goal from nothing - therefore valuable. Not heard of Nicholson.

A_A wehatethehibs Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hasn’t been a great season for him with a broken leg, but there’s still time for him to chip in with a couple of goals. His eye for goal is his main selling point as a player. Tactical wise he doesn’t strike me as a Stendell player so we’ll see next season, he might be spending a lot of time on the bench.

bajthejambo Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Hibs got at break with the way the ball spun off Halkett and into the box. That effort probably would have went wide too. I wasn't happy Walker gave away the ball, but it's hardly his fault it resulted in a goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4marsbars Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Great night last night. Got to find something to moan about. Checks random player-to-complain-about-generator-algorithm. Stops at Jamie Walker. Moan, moan, moan. FWIW We all know what Walker can do. We all want that to happen again. Let's get right behind the lad. Kickback's all very well at times. But can anyone recommend a good Hearts SUPPORTERS website? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimmyCant Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I think he's a decent versatile player who is worth keeping around. I dont see who he replaces or battles with to win a place in the first choice 11 though. The thought probably doesnt enter his head to scream and fight for a place and give the manager a choice to make. Strikes me as laid back laddie who hasnt got that drive you need to really make it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitch41 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 (edited) Walker had 3 touches in a row not long after he came on losing possession 3 times. He definitely looked poor the whole time he was on. Edited March 4, 2020 by mitch41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex member of the SaS Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 TBF I expected more when he came on, expected him to be buzzing and run riot, but not going to write him off as he still has enough to be in the squad. Thought the whole team battled well and played the better football through out the game, a well deserved win and lets kick on from two great wins.

naeclue Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Great, another chance to pish on our own players. Let’s list a few of the players deemed not good enough for Hearts lately. Halkett, Dikamona, Bozanic (guilty of that), Damour, Clare, Washington. All of these in the last few months. Surely we can have a go at Boyce, Naismith and Hickey and we’ll have a full house of pish.

ArcticJambo Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 It certainly wasn't a game where you hold onto the ball for long. Sometimes it takes a while to read the game and get into it, and especially if you come on as a sub. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brauhauser2012 Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 As others have said elsewhere, a lot of our players are improving under the new coaching regime and there is no reason to think that Walker can't find form once again as he's still young enough at 26. Look at Michael Smith, a lot older at 31 but plenty of energy still. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
