Yes He played well against Blackburn but Gyok, Godden and Waghorn have played well against just about everyone.
You just can't keep 4 decent strikers happy all the time I guess.

If he’s happy to wait for his chance, then I’d keep him around.

At Championship level?

MR just said he’s wanted to play Gyo/Godden/Walker as a front 3 for a while

I think very few thought Godden would score the amount he has. Godden has the 3rd best goals per minute in the championship, with only Mitrovic and Brereton better. So it's no wonder Walker is below Godden in the order. Not his fault, just circumstance.

Waghorn can play the O Hare role when teams are giving Callum a chance. Someone who is going to push over defenders and just be a pain in the bum.

Some questioned the contract extension not long ago. Another one the manager appears to have gotten bang on.

I agree. I think one of Gyokeres or Waghorn normally has to play. Otherwise we fail to hold enough of the ball in forward positions

I said Walker was probably number 4 striker at the start of the season and got laughed at. I think we need to see more of Waghorn to be sure, but Godden and Gyokeres are quite a bit ahead of Walker for sure.

I really like the lad but if we could recoup our outlay from a team like Posh in January then it’s a no brainier as he’s clearly not the type of striker the manager wants.
I hope he stays and bides his time but would understand it if he wanted first team football at his age. Waghorn and Godden arent getting any younger but still got a couple of years in them as neither rely on pace.
I do think Robins could keep him happier by getting him on sooner. Swansea and Blues are two games off the top of my head when I thought he should’ve been on a lot earlier

Writing seemed to be on the wall when he scored in successive games and was dropped. They were his only starts in the league and he scored in both. 1 goal in 1 start in the cup too.

If a club wants to meet Walker's valuation in January, would the priority be competition for O'Hare, as opposed to another striker.

He left Forest in search of game time and think it will be the same outcome. I rate him but he’s 4th choice in a fit squad and will want to be playing somewhere week in week out.
We should only sell if the right offer comes in though.

We’re all very aware of your opinion which you’ve ‘enlightened’ us with a million times. Time to give it a rest and move on don’t you think?

He would, he knows where the net is, but unfortunately like JCH he doesn’t necessarily fit our style I think

People banging on about Walker and Shipley leaving in January.
The club would want money for both players. No club in League 1 has any money to pay even half of what Walker cost.
Neither will go on loan either. What do we get from sending either out on loan? Again, clubs lower down won't fancy paying the wages.
We will unfortunately struggle to get rid of any of the deadwood in January. That includes Jobello and Hilsner unless we pay off their contracts.

I think we probably will look to offload if a suitable offer comes in as Tavares will be chomping at the bit, I reckon also if we could reinvest would play a part in if that happens as well

We’re not going to sell Walker and replace him with Tavares.

Why not? If we get a decent sum and can improve other areas

We need a squad of players. Yesterday showed the impact of afew injuries. Not everyone who is good necessarily plays every week.

Actually I believe that some of these lads would have gone out on loan but we wanted the clubs to pay their full salaries
Don't know the details so there are undoubtedly two sides to the story

Because Tavares is nowhere near as good as Walker and we need strength in depth.

People keep going on about this but Gyokeres and Godden were also scoring at that time. It was some sort of slight on Walker. This healthy competition for places.

There’s a difference between being given a chance and being our main back up striker.
