I said on the way back to the car yesterday, it's a bit of a step down going from trying to sign a £100k player that was one of the best in the conference last season to a trialist nobody's ever heard of, surely we could find someone in between?
He didn't do much to impress me yesterday, the only times i noticed him were when he was losing the ball after a poor first touch or holding on to it for too long. He also had a cr*p shot on goal that I can only hope was with his weak foot.

Liam Walker has played two games for us, both against better class opposition than he would usually face in League 2. He didn't really impress against Forest, but had a decent game against Wigan. He was more involved both defensively and going forward and showed a good work ethic. I'm not saying we should sign him or bin him, just that he's done enough to merit a longer look. Too many on here think he's no good entirely due to his Wiki page.
Well a club a year says something isn't quite right?
I hadn't seen his Wiki page when i watched the Wigan game and was disappointed at learning he was 29 when I opened this topic. I'd rather judge players on what I see them do in a Notts shirt and Walker did nothing to impress against Wigan, who despite being a "better class than he would usually face in League 2" looked and played pretty cr*p for 90 minutes.
Edit: I didn't want to say it as it will probably be the only point in my post that gets picked up on but... I seem to remember a few people basing their negative opinions of Aborah on his past/wikipedia record too...
My negative opinion on Aborah is based entirely on his performances in a Notts shirt - he was a vastly overrated bone idle show pony who offered very little to the team. My neutral opinion on Liam Walker is based on just two part games, so I'd look for a bit longer before coming to a decision on whether he's worth a contract.
