Wearing short sleeved shirts in January, proper keeper. Some decent saves today, couldn’t do anything about their goal. At 22 I hope/think he’ll have a decent career at Oakwell.
Was literally about to start a Walton thread before the naysayers come out and blame him for the defeat. Great keeper, still very young. We're lucky to have him. We were unlucky today and missed Mowatt in my opinion. We were also sloppy in possession for whatever reason. We go again.
Showed what he's good at, and what he's not. Could've given a pen away in the first half by bashing into the Canary forward when the ball was high in the air. Kicked it randomly, didn't come out on a couple of occasions when he should have. Spread and shot stopped well, although he can't keep spilling it or else someone's gonna get a tap in. Still a lot to learn but wouldn't swop him for anyone at the club.
Or indeed anyone we could afford who is not currently at the club. Adequate keeper at this level already and time on his side to improve. New keeper not a January priority for me.
Me neither Jack is far better than Radlinger or Collins were last season, I think Collins is a decent back up though and may well get some game time and lets see if he too is improving. Last place we need to strengthen at the moment in my opinion
For me it was a keeper aiming to play the ball who collided with an attacker making no effort to do so. No foul either way for me. One of the few decisions the ref didn't let Norwich award themselves.
When we play with such an high backline Walton has a lot of stay or go decisions to make which can't be easy for any keeper. He's like a young Bruce Grobbelaar.
What was he suppose to do? Great ball and premier quality finish.Whats he going to do? stand on edge of penalty box all game and then have people complain about his positioning.
balls in air fair while before it gets to striker for me he is 2 yard further forward as ball arrives and smothers shot , but easy sat watching its at 1.38 see what you think https://www.skysports.com/football/norwich-vs-barnsley/report/429974
Saves he made were standard saves. Cant kick, cant command crosses and gets caught in no mans land regular! Bang average at best.
