Tyler Walker

Let's remember there were quite a few folk saying he wasn't good enough for us. Having said that, how many would he score playing in a team that creates virtually no chances?

Probably less than a far better Grabban.
 
Just wanting to check my facts here, by my reckoning Tyler Walker has 4 goals this season, whereas Lyle Taylor has 4 & Lewis Grabban has 2.

I thought Tyler was crap L1 standard, and those two were promotion strikers?

Seems to me Tyler's doing as good, if not better, a job in the same league as those two. :dunno:

As tenuous as paralells get, Walkers playing for a manager who's had 4 years to rubber stamp his ethos. Hughtons still trying to forge something from the blankest of canvasses left by his predecessor in the opposition half.

Thats before you consider the chances missed by Grabban & Taylor & Walkers previous stint here suggesting he'd be next to useless in our current set up.

Pleased Walkers bagged a few, but he isnt the answer here.

Don't disagree with that as such, my disagreement is against the claim he's L1 standard. He' matching Taylor & Grabban so far, so that'd at least suggest that he's a Championship level player.

Do you have a job Alf?

For Walker to stay wed have to guarantee him first team football or give him a big wage. So the talk about keeping Walker is a dud debate. Its like when we sold Assombolonga it was totally out of our hands.

Stats-wise, Walker looks the best of all 3........

Now we all know that there's more to it than that, but how anyone can say Walker's L1 standard when he's doing better than both our main strikers at the mo I've no idea tbh.

Dude, Grabs has been injured and only just got up and running - let's see who ends up with the most come May. Reckon Taylor will beat him too

It's not a slate on Grabs not Taylor Tommy, I think both are currently better players, it's simply showing that Walker's not as bad as some claim.

Specifically, it's designed to give people a chance to look at the claim that he's L1 standard from a different angle.

Also, Grabs & Taylor both have many years on the lad. I think, given time, Walker will go on to have some very respectable seasons in the Championship, with 15+ goals under his belt. Something which a ton of strikers who we've bought here (Miller, Mir, Bonatini, Cox, Derbyshite, etc.) have failed to do.

Ultimately time will tell.

Is he good enough for promotion currently, and where we want to be? No, I don't think he is. Is he good enough for the Champ, and potentially better than most the strikers we've signed in the last 10 years? That's another story. :think:
