Can't say I've heard of him before but a contract till January seems sensible enough. If he does well enough we can give him something longer, if not we sign another option.
Sam Walker is 32 and have gloves will travel and the Journeyman keeper born in Gravesend, has played most of his games for Colchester with 200 apps, in his total of 300+ apps.
Last I saw was 4-6 weeks for Isted, but that was a couple of weeks ago. Sounds like he's out until mid-November at least. Sensible to sign a backup ad Molyneux is 18 and I suspect that if he was considered ready he would have been given time in the pizza game.
Sensible work. Hopefully we won't need him and he becomes a fun trivia answer with Jed Steer and Maxwell whose first name I've forgotten

Jed Steer actually played a few games for us. Chris Maxwell; Antti Niemi; Luke Daniels (maybe he made one League Cup appearance?); Tony Caig; Tony Warner all spring to mind as perennial benchwarmers - but again I could be wrong and appearances may have been made.
This must be the bloke you saw at the training ground @Swisdom ?
Good pick up. Never seen him play but his wealth of experience already gives him qualities than we don’t currently have in the squad. Plenty of positive reviews from Kilmarnock fans.
Saw him at Barnet as a youngster and rated him. Not sure if he would have played with Hector, suspect he might play in the FA Cup and JPT. A shame he wasn't signed before the Villa game.

Iirc Caig played a half and kept a clean sheet. Daniels never played as Ross Worner was preferred

Steer played around 20 games for us, reckon most would remember him.
Good luck to Walker, if he's half decent he's in with a chance of finding his way into the team.
Solid move as cover , plenty of experience and would expect him to play cups and JPT. Ironically a bit like what we brought Hendo in to do a couple of years back.
Some good stops in that highlights package. Like the fact that he is a big boy and fills the frame of his goal like a modern keeper. AMB and Isted are not short by standards of the general population, but they're not especially tall either and don't appear imposing in their goal either.

Can't work out whether he's overjoyed or thinking wtf am I about to do..
I think you'll find that it's because of Isted's injury that Sam Walker has come in for cover for AMB; who was being kept out the team by Isted.
By January Isted should be fit and if not I assume Walker won't so no to another six months.

AMB will need somebody senior to train with, else standards likely to slip.

Be interesting to see if he can actually exploit his height and catch a cross, feel like we have missed that commanding presence since Amos
