‘Excellent’ – Bradford City man hailed by Graham Alexander as they prepare for MK Dons clash
Bradford City boss Graham Alexander has said he thought Jamie Walker was ‘excellent’ against Birmingham City earlier this week.
Bradford City are back in League Two action this weekend with a home clash against MK Dons. BCAFC are sat in 5th place in the table and are inside the play-offs with Notts County, Port Vale and Crewe Alexandra.
Walker, 31, has made 31 appearances in all competitions this season. He has chipped in with one goal and three assists.
Alexander has said, as per a report by The Yorkshire Post: “I thought he was excellent on Tuesday night in that role. I believe he has the attributes to play up front for our team.
“I don’t pigeonhole players. I look for the qualities they have and what we need in the team. We needed a goal threat as a nine and someone who can link the play – and that’s Jamie Walker. Physically, for me, was the biggest bonus. He hasn’t played a lot of games recently but his data was fantastic. Every credit to him.
“He’s got that thing inside him that we can’t coach. He knows how to create a chance or work towards a goal, he’s got that as a natural instinct.”
