Alex Kintner Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Has had loads of critics of late, and rightly so for the most part, but fair play to the lad for the performances he’s put in in the past three matches. Plenty of work rate and desire and still has that ability to pick up the ball in dangerous spaces and create chances. Keep it up 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Selkirkhmfc1874 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Rather him in starting 11 than Naismith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GinRummy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Three good performances in a row. Good to see him getting 90 minutes in as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jambos_1874 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 The one thing I've always criticised Walker for was his work rate but he has really turned it around. Shows real desire and commitment in most games now and is making a real contribution. Great to see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Australis Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Played well again. Showed what we should be getting each game from him. Stepped up when needed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jamhammer Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Looks fitter than he did. Took a lot of punishment as well tonight. Well played again Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gmcjambo Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 This was the sort of evening where I expected him to hide. Fair play, This needs to be the standard of effort and application now. He has the skill and in a different night he will be able to play more football. Keep it up please Jamie . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Heart of Darkness Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Really pleased that Jamie has been putting in more effort the last few games as he's a quality player and that's all that was missing previously!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DG_HMFC Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 He has so much quality and he's a match winner. He's Hearts through-and-through which makes his drops in form and what looks like lack of effort hard to take, but I like him and he's a player I'd always want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Weakened Offender Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I must admit to not being a huge fan of Walker but he has made a significant contribution to our league campaign this season. He needs to show on the big occasion but for now, in this league, when he plays, he contributes and getting out of this league is all that matters. Whether he kicks on from there is up to him.

Seymour M Hersh Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Just shows you. I didn't think he was any great shakes tonight. Misplaced passes and crosses quite a lot but did run about a lot. Significantly more involved than GMS who for me was anonymous. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John Kimble Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I liked Jamie five years ago but the magic has gone for me. No pace, drifts in and out of games, a stoop and a bad tash. Must have slipped Billy Dodds a bottle tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Puts in some effort for a change and thinks he's Messi again. If history is anything to go by that was him peeking tonight and he'll be back to being a lazy git again next week.

OTT Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 I think Jamie Walker has an insane amount of natural ability, but his inconsistency remains a big issue. He's starting to find his feet though, and I do wonder if the improvement of who's playing alongside him might be helping? I've been very critical of him and I'm glad to see things turning round for him on the field. Either way, he's starting to do well and beating back the critics one game at a time. I'm really pleased for him Quote Link to post Share on other sites

1971fozzy Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Superb JW. I have been a critic but only wanted him to be consistent. Looks like he is now and his contribution this season has been huge in certain games. keep it up , love it when he turns up. Great game tonight Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cory McNamara Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 He just walks over the opposition. We can only hope for more, good performance, Jamie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gjcc Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Can’t complain about his performance. Gets into good positions and able to pass players. Remain disappointed by GMS so far but it’s early days considering how little game time he’s had the past few months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spellczech Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 He's finally starting to consistently do what we remember him for all those years ago. Keep it up. Perhaps he's not done yet...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jamboinglasgow Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Jamie Walker has always been a player where he needs time to get up his stride, it appears that he is getting that now. He always had the talent but the consistency is what was needed. That has been a few good performances in a row. I also dont think its a coincidence that it happens after Naismith has dropped out of the team. I think the two of them get in each others way when they play together.

SectionG Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 Jamie Walker’s biggest issue has always been Jamie Walker, whether be confidence, family issues, or any other issues off the park. That includes fitness or having his head turned by other clubs. But ultimately a focused and supported Jamie Walker will always be an asset to the club. We all have to play our part in keeping him there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’m not his biggest fan as he is too inconsistent but to say the magic has gone is nonsense. He’s won us at least 2 games this season and can be unplayable on his day.
