Be interesting to see if he can actually exploit his height and catch a cross, feel like we have missed that commanding presence since Amos

He'll do for back up. AMB was a big positive for us last season so happy for him to be #13

From the video he looks more of a presence than either AMB or Isted.0

Sensible work. Hopefully we won't need him and he becomes a fun trivia answer with Jed Steer and Maxwell whose first name I've forgotten
Good luck to Walker, if he's half decent he's in with a chance of finding his way into the team.
Sam Walker looks a big lad, makes Leaburn look like a dwarf.2 -
From the clip it seems the Scottish leagues like to shoot directly at the keeper a lot 🤣.
Sensible move to bring someone in and if he gets a go he should be dominant in the air with his size.

Sam Walker shared the gloves at Kilmarnock with a goalie I previously suggested to the club (Zach Hemming - St Mirren currently at 3rd in the SPL) and was very popular north of the border. He certainly has a presence which we have lacked and will keep the keepers on their toes.
I can now reveal AMB was actually doubtful for the Exeter game as he had a back injury. This highlighted the need for another goalie as we only had Henry Molyneux as the next option. Thankfully Ash got through it but if Exeter had known they would no doubt have been hammering shots goalwards and testing him. Sod's law to have both goalkeepers injured at the same time!7 -

Neil Etheridge, Serbia and Sevilla goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic, Dimi Mitov would fall into this category except we all remember his goal, David Button, Tony Warner is a good one.
Hey, let's just remember some goalkeepers.1 -

I think he has the tools for being a good goalkeeper. He makes some excellent saves and is very athletic. But I feel like he needs time to develop where he can be a #1, and I don't think we can guarantee him that given how many rough edges there still are to his game.
These days I always worry about "Albie Morganing" players in which we have them around the first team but never first team regulars. They're players with ability but need molding, and they never quite get that.2 -
