Nottingham Forest loanee Tyler Walker scored in his side’s victory over Crewe last night.

Mansfield boss David Flitcroft has admitted to BBC Radio Nottingham that Nottingham Forest loanee Tyler Walker’s form dipped for three games.

Walker made a bright start to life since arriving at Mansfield from Forest, but his form slowed in recent times.

The youngster failed to score for seven games in a row, but he fired in against Crewe last night.

The Forest youngster finished well to help his side to a 3-0 victory, and Flitcroft felt that the loanee was back to his best again.

“I’m delighted for him,” Flitcroft said.

“He had a spell of two or three games when he was off the pace, I told him to find himself. He is a fantastic kid. He is desperate to score, and his goal really settled us.”

Walker now has eight goals for Mansfield since arriving, with the Forest prospect showing plenty of signs of promise.

There are high hopes for the 22-year-old at the City Ground in the future, with Aitor Karanka’s side known to be keeping a close eye on his progress.

Mansfield are next in action against Cheltenham Town at the weekend, as they look to push further up the League Two table.
