Tony Towner's Toe

With keeper's job up for grabs according to some (at least before the Southampton game) I was curious to see how the not so young anymore Walton's year at Blackburn has been going.
Often touted as our Number one in waiting, judging by Blackburn fans' views he sadly won't be the answer...if indeed we even have a spot to improve.

Walton - 2
If you had asked me pre lock down it probably would have been a 5. A poor half of the season was seeming to be offset somewhat by some solid performances, although that in part just accentuated the problem of having a loan keeper. Since then Walton has shown that his first half of the season wasn't simply an adjustment period and has (bar the West Brom game) put in some of the most abject performances of any keeper in a Rovers shirt, costing us a number of points. So two thirds of a season he has been horrific, we don't own a first choice keeper so it doesn't matter if there's potential in there (his few good performances suggest that he might become decent in a number of years) .and he cost us a lot of points. Meanwhile we swapped out a keeper with potential who's done pretty well, had a lot of potential and was ours. I genuinely don't think we could have handled this any worse.
To be fair I think thats a 2 and not a minus 2!
Just wondering if any on here have actually seen him this year...embarrassed to say I haven't watched a championship game since we became a 'big club'
