I'd suggest less bad, than good!
I'd suggest less bad, than good!You make some good points but there is no way that someone at 30 is all of a sudden going to develop a good touch. He's been playing professionally for years and it is still horrific. He could play until he's 48 and that isn't going to improve
He takes balls into feet well laying it off all his stuff on you tube is working off service the game where DaCosta put in about 15 crosses was suited to walker that’s his gameHis touch is wildly inconsistent and his link up play is average at best.
Hmmm it wouldn’t have been an own goal if the defender hadn’t got there first.
The criticism of him is all part of diverting it away from a certain other forward.
Walkers gets pushed off the ball far to easily for me, he’s got no fight in him when we really need it, another example to me of a player who got into the game because his dad was a good player.
I’ve seen a lot on nonsense on here including from myself but this tops the lot.
To be honest, I think it goes the other way too.
I have no horse in this race, and want to see both do well. I also don't think anyone is doubting that Walker isn't the better of the two players, it is just more about what he is giving at the moment. Our backs are up against the wall, and whilst Max makes the wrong decisions over and over again, you can at least see that he is giving his all. Unfortunately, when you lack quality, everyone needs to dig in. It works the same right down to Sunday league level.
Walker is a good finisher, you can tell that. That is all he has though, and it isn't enough. You could see the reaction yesterday when we scored. Some people were really desperate to try and not give the goal to Max, where in the game before, Walker won a header and those same people were acting as if it was Ballon d'Or worthy.
We cannot carry anyone when we are in a dog fight and at the moment Walker needs to contribute more. It's all well and good saying that he needs better service (to which I agree to an extent), but he also has to make the most out of what he is getting, and he isn't. One time yesterday that stood out especially was when he was yomping around in an offside position and the ball game flying through to him. He has to do better, which hopefully is more to do with lack of sharpness.
Whilst I agree that there is an element of people blowing up Biamou's arse, there is also a contingent excusing Walker for underperforming due to being unable to say anything positive about Biamou. In reality, they both haven't been good enough. One due to ability I think, the other due to performance.

“Desperate not to give the goal to Max”
He didn’t touch the fucking ball!

Ha, what I really meant was that he never anticipates where the ball might land, that instinct to gamble isn't there. Fortunately their defender bundled it in anyway.Hmmm it wouldn’t have been an own goal if the defender hadn’t got there first.
Agree with this. I fall for it myself, when I’m constantly seeing players slated by the same people either way I feel the need to purposely find positives to counter them. Others work the opposite way when smoke is being blown up a players arse 24/7.
The reality is we are feeding on scraps. I don’t even rate Matty ‘Isolated sick note’ Godden to be honest.
I do want them all to do well though of course, I’m not that invested in my opinion of players. No names mentioned.
I think he's talking Walker rather than BiamouI don't need to look on YouTube as I watch every game. He has spells where he executes his role admirably, but I fail to see how you could qualify either his touch or ability to bring others into play as 'good' when he's just not consistent enough at either
Yes walker I’m on aboutI think he's talking Walker rather than Biamou
Yes walker I’m on about
Yea sorry I might not of been clear who I meant I like max but he’s like a centre back playing up front is hard to watch,maybe we go back to the box but with the state of pitches I think these long balls will continueAh my mistake.
Fully agree with thisMax’s first touch is so poor it often goes right away from him and turns into a pass. I love the guy for what he’s done in his city career but it’s become so clear that he’s nowhere near the level required to be a starter and play 90 minutes in the championship. I could take him coming on for 10-15 because he will bust a gut against tired defenders but he just doesn’t have the quality from the start.
Even in Walker’s poor second half when he dropped deep he controlled the ball easily, spread it to a midfielder and peeled off to make the forward run. Proper CF play. When Max does it his first touch balloons it anywhere, the defender gets in and then they have to fight for the ball. To some fans this fighting for the ball means he’s putting the effort it when in reality a decent striker wouldn’t have put himself in that position to start with.

A really good point Earlsdon.
Walker "great work to force the defender into playing the ball into his own net, if he wasn't there we wouldn't of scored"
Biamou "he only scored the own goal because Biamou isn't good enough to get into front of it"

I’ve repeatedly said that neither Godden or Walker should be first choice in this league, i said pre-season Godden was a decent back-up striker at this level.To be honest, I think it goes the other way too.

See, I think with Walker, give him a full season injury / illness free, and play to his strengths, and he's more than good enough to get us 15+ goals. I'm more than happy with him as first choice.I’ve repeatedly said that neither Godden or Walker should be first choice in this league, i said pre-season Godden was a decent back-up striker at this level.
Biamou and Godden should be nowhere near the squad and need to be released. The push back against Biamou is due to the pathetic nonsense that gets pushed out by the usual suspects, like the headed goals not counting, he won more free kicks etc etc.
I meant Bakayoko!See, I think with Walker, give him a full season injury / illness free, and play to his strengths, and he's more than good enough to get us 15+ goals. I'm more than happy with him as first choice.
Harsh, releasing Godden, mind! At the worst get a fee for him!
Easy to confuse the two...I meant Bakayoko!

Hold the ball up and promptly give it back to them !!We know Max isn't very good but at least he shows and can hold the ball up. Walker is marked out of games far too easy at this level. He hid last night .
It's fucking mental isn't it?I too like getting angry at scenarios I’ve imagined.
