Today he wasn't great, but neither was he a "waste of a jersey". He done some good things and some bad. Weird how we look for ways to hammer our players. Absolutely spot on Bob, this is a player struggling for confidence and not getting much game time, we need to really get behind the boys from now until the end of the season, we absolutely must.

This. Think a lot of our supporters expect him to be the nippy wee winger he was 5/6 years ago, but he plays a different role now in this squad. Puts in a tonne of work defensively to support the full backs which seems to go unnoticed. Edited March 8, 2020 by Gashauskis9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shaggy2 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Trust me, after the week he’s had it’s amazing he’s functioning at all. We were far better second half and Walker was involved in the goal and our next best chance. Sporting a cracking cut above his right eye as well.

Dr Ian Malcolm Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 We're unbeaten in three games this week, he's had a hand in one of our goals and is no doubt all over the place physically and emotionally after having another bairn in the midst of it all.

Beast Boy Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 He used to be a very good player for us when he was younger. The Jamie Walker of 2013 just doesn’t seem to exist anymore though. Before he left for Wigan he was a complete waste of a locker, but since he’s been back, he has managed to rise above that level. He’d have been hard pushed not to though, because I’ve never disliked a Hearts player as much as I did at that time. Hope he can contribute a bit more by helping to create the odd goal here and there like yesterday. That’s about all I can bring myself to expect from him now, which is sad. He was the genuine article when he was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find people who keep having a go at him baffling. Blinded by their dislike for him from a couple of years ago and just wont say anything positive about the guy regardless of how he plays.

Bull's-eye Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 He won't be happy starting from the bench and it's always shown in his performance. He looks disinterested because he's not interested.

wavydavy Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 He has a decent game once in a blue moon. His perfromance yesterday was nothing short of disgraceful. If you were ever showing a young player how NOT to play then just show a recording of him. Only Levein knows why he brought him back. Having said that though Stendel's signings have hardly been great. Ok Sibbick looks to be half decent and you can't legislate for him getting Grandular Fever however the other two look like a total waste. The only consolation is that they are on short term deals unlike Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigsuperslim1874 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Seriously - where are all these ‘disgraceful performance’ comments coming from?!? Some folk really ARE consumed by the whole fiasco when he left before. It was irritating and disrespectful I agree but he is back and as far as I’m concerned, doing his bit to get us safe. If he didn’t care then he wouldn’t have contributed to the goal or put himself in a position to get a cracked napper. This place sometimes.....

mitch41 Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 Walker came on as a sub for Clare after 28 minutes I thought right let’s see what you can do with this chance. Well he was just not up to the the job and he would of been substituted in the second half if I had bee in charge. Subing a sub would of sent out a message to him and all the subs that will follow. As an ex-manager I subed a sub because he was not carrying out my instructions, he thought he could do as he liked well he got a surprise and from 2-1 down with 10 men we won 4-2. if Walker thinks he’s come here to see out his days going through the motions he needs a lesson on the standards Stendel demands.

He was having a very very good game the night he broke his leg away at Motherwell and its been stop start for him since he came back.

He seemed to have a big part in our goal, playing a pass to Naismith that few others could have executed so gently and then played a pass to Washington from which Naismith should have scored. Having a player that does not seem to suffer from anxiety/can keep a cool head might be useful in the run in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know players can benefit from regular games however Stendel is watching him every day in training and doesn;t think he is good enough to start games at the moment. He was given a three year deal after having had a less than impressive stint at Wigan and a loan at Peterborough. He hasn't got the legs to play the style Stendel wants and his body language is dreadful most of the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naismith is getting pelters for a late missed chance but you know you’re getting blood, sweat and snotters from him at least. Blood and sweat isn’t enough, he’s missed sitters against Hamilton, Rangers, Hibs and Motherwell. He seems to have lost his composure and right now we need him to find it again and fast.
