| Well that's certainly disappointing but as I have said a couple of times on here it was hard to believe how anyone of his status and current 'comfortable' position would want to come to our place particularly if they consulted players like Sneydy and read books like Gareth Ellis's or indeed watched us for half a game . Relocation is trotted out in these situations but it wasn't the reason Sneyd left or that Ian Watson didn't come of others I am less sure, but those I'm pretty sure about.
However he was exactly what we needed to give us half a chance of rising again as a Club and I guess we were spoilt by the media etc who announced he was our top target which of course there was little doubt he was, but that didn't help with the bite back there now is from the FC Faithful who were led to believe by media sources initially in Lancashire and 'leaked' to Sky presenters that it was a done deal. People are disappointed but I was told today that even potential loan signings who can't get in other teams, are wary of us.
We all know how far we have fallen but how he at least gave us half a chance of reviving our fortunes, so its a real bummer, but we have to get on with it I guess, however we need to accept as well that as far as the rest of the game is concerned the consistent reduction in quality of our recruitment and failure to replace like for like, the 'culture there seems to be at the club that has seen so many coaches come and go, the body language of some of our players during games and indeed perhaps even the demands of the greatest and most passionate fanbase in the game makes us, to outsiders looking in, damaged goods.
Those who have led us to this position and fiddled whilst Rome burned must take a lot of the blame for where we now find ourselves.
Where do we go now? Well it's hard to know, as I'm sure other targets will have a distinct feeling of being second best. That's not a ridiculous comment, as some say, but a fact of human nature. As managers in business you always keep your choice close to your chest until the person concerned accepts the job but in the goldfish bowl that is Rugby in Hull and a parochial greater game, that is impossible. So on we go but it's going to take a lot more than a few loan signings that no one else wants to put this mess right. So as Mr Myler searches for a pair of underpants to wear over his trousers, a win on Sunday would help enormously!!!!
So we move on and as always It's a good job we love em!!!!

| I really rate Walker.
We have zero attack at the minute and our play has no unpredictability, stretch or movement.
With better options in the halves and hooker I really think he could shine; especially in broken play and if he gets the ball with a bit more space.

| I really rate Walker, he’s a class player in a poor team. More quality around him and he’ll flourish. The more I think about the Cartwright possibility, the more I’m liking it. A bloke who’s been in a similar position before and done well.

| Agree with most, Walker will get better in a better team.
At the moment we're getting dominated in the tackle so slow play the balls. Then slow service from dummy half from Houghton. Smith isn't a half and Charles isn't up to SL speed yet, so Walker then isn't getting a crisp pass from his halves. He's receiving the ball with a defender in his face at the moment and not leaving him many options but to just take a tackle or risk throwing an intercept.
We saw against Leeds recently he can throw a good cut out ball to a winger if he's given good service (every single pass in that play was crisp and we have good depth on the attacking line), he's just rarely getting any.
I'm happy with Walker and think he would be showing his class if he was in a more dominant team, like he was last year at Rovers.
