Sounds like from this little snippet from todays press conference that Tyler Walker might be out for the season.
He hasn‘t looked fully fit in any game or part game this season which begs the question how the hell did he pass our club medical when we knew he hadn’t played a string of consecutive games for 3 years.Playing hìm before he was properly fit, great idea
Just when I'm getting a bit down about Tyler, there's Johnolbe to cheer me up! Thanks for your efforts once again!He hasn‘t looked fully fit in any game or part game this season which begs the question how the hell did he pass our club medical when we knew he hadn’t played a string of consecutive games for 3 years.
His agent was set a tough task, find a long term injury prone player a good contract for 2 or 3 years…..well mission accomplished. Got to think we’ve had our trousers pulled down.

Fully agree I‘m sure Tyler would have had all the scans and tests every other player had and has either passed them with flying colours or we as a club have taken a calculated gamble.Walker made 33 appearances in 2020-21, 35 in 2021-22, and 19 in 2022-23 - this stuff about signing an injury-prone player is ill-informed crap.
Does anyone really believe Lincoln City is so poorly run that the recruitment team and medical staff were conned by an agent flogging an injured player? Really?
I don't believe we are poorly run. But I do believe we have had an history of signing players who prior to signing for us have had injury problems. Hopefully this will change under Skoobs. These signings are always a gamble.Walker made 33 appearances in 2020-21, 35 in 2021-22, and 19 in 2022-23 - this stuff about signing an injury-prone player is ill-informed crap.

I’’m not sure our club is financially in a position to take calculated risks if anything shows up on scans/teats.
How much of Walkers lack of time is beacuse he was sat on the bench? He's obviously had quite a bit of time out injured but I'm not convinced it's as bad as these stats make out.Minutes played in all competitions by Tyler Walker and Ted Bishop in the last 3 seasons

Some people slate Bishop for being injury prone and say he is a luxury we can’t afford. We signed Tyler Walker who has played just over half the minutes that Ted has over the last 3 completed seasons. Decide for yourselves who is the biggest gamble.
If only we had Dr. David hindsight in our medical team!Playing hìm before he was properly fit, great idea
Don’t know but the same can be said about Bishop, how many times has he been on the bench or subbed early so its the same fir both players.How much of Walkers lack of time is beacuse he was sat on the bench?
