Walker is not rubbish at all it’s just that all managers seem to
have a player they don’t like and Walker is that player for
Gustard

He was rubbish in his brief appearance this year.
Assume he’s gone anyway end of season.

Over the last few years he has had lots of shots - that he has
serious speed is not in question - just his defence - Cadan M
has shown him up defensively and Ibitoye offensively, although
he too, enjoys his moments of defensive laxative...

Last week was pretty much first choice (bar Sinckler and, for
me, Saili).
The team for tomorrow gives a few people a chance to show their
worth and repay the faith of new contracts, etcetera.
I think we are strong in all areas tomorrow, provided we are all
up for it. As we have all agreed, Gussy knows his onions! He
will have them fully charged to hold Bristol off and then
exploit the space in behind.
Marchant and Earle to get two tries each before half time!
Come on you Quins!

There could be many reasons why he hasn't featured. Some on here
were quick to claim Visser was finished at Quins, until it
became known he'd had surgery. Some claimed Sailli (and also
Horwill) wouldn't play for Quins again. All proven wrong.
I like Walker as a player, and I agree he hasn't shone this
season; he hasn't had much opportunity though. How much of that
is down to be way down the pecking order, and how much is due to
injury or other reasons, we don't know. To say Gabs has shown
him up is a bit wide of the mark; Gabs is quick and strong,
Walker is quicker. His defence isn't always great, but I'd say
it's better than Gab's. However, Walker is pure pace, and I
think that type of player always suits hard, dry ground. It may
fall into place for him, if he gets further opportunities in the
next month or so. Let's not forget that he was strongly linked
with a mid-season move but supposedly turned it down.
Having said that, if he does go then I'd be disappointed.

Not surprised Gabs or Care are not in the squad after last
weekend.

I thought the suggestion was at the Quinssa evening where
Gustard spoke that he wasn't impressed with some players'
attitudes which is why you don't see them getting a chance.
Walker presumably wrong.
I wasn't at the evening though, so might have heard wrong, and
obviously there's no way of knowing if he's one of them, but it
seems pretty likely. Shame, as I like him as a player, but I've
heard from various sources that his attitude isn't great. All
hearsay of course. Never met him so can't comment

Am probably being VERY negative but I see a few holes here
compared to the team of last week. I know Gussy likes to show a
bit of rotation and I don't know if there's a bit of "Its
Bristol so lets give some others a run" sort of mentality. But
looking at tomorrows fixtures and the momentum we currently have
in 3rd Id be more inclined to pick the strongest side we can for
the forseeable future and rotate purely on injuries (if this is
the case already then my apologies).
My worry is that Bristol see some of these changes and come even
more up for it than they already were.
Hey Ho..... COYQ

There is no suggestion of resting players. By the sounds of it,
all of the changes are enforced.
Crumpton - banned
Care - injured
Gabs - injured
Symons - sick
