Walton in Team of the Week
Thursday, 26th Feb 2026 18:21

Town keeper Christian Walton has been named in the Sky Bet Championship Team of the Week following his display in the 2-0 win at Watford on Tuesday evening.

Walton saved a late Tom Ince penalty as he kept his 50th clean sheet of his Blues carer and his 10th this season in 23 starts.

Also named in the select XI is former Blues loanee James Bree, now with Southampton.

Well deserved.
He's been loyal to the club and patiently waited his chance to shine again.

And a great performance on Tuesday.

kpblues, couldn't have put it any better myself. Very pleased for him. I was not one for leaving him out against Watford. Not sure what Matusiwa and Nunez have to do to get in those selections, they rarely seem to feature.

Only saw the highlights but couple of fantastic saves and key penalty stop which stalled any momentum they had. Brilliant from CW.

Thoroughly deserved. After 2 golden glove awards for division 1 was unlucky to miss nearly all our last championship campaign. Now a top 3 keeper in our league

From Scapegoat to pen save, clean sheet & Team of the Week in 3 days. We all have our opinions about team selections but just as well that we have someone who "knows exactly what we need" & doesn't listen to our kneejerk reactions born out of frustration in the moment.
I'm really pleased for him, I'm also glad that I never put the comments I was shouting at the radio on Saturday afternoon into writing on here or on social media!!!

When Hlakey left and we brought Muric…..I thought we had brought an upgrade.
I never worked out and we got Palmer who I thought was excellent.

I had forgot how good Walton was…….

Loyal servant to the club and I hope he stays for many a year……

Agree with all the above comments

Considering the amount of games he has played you could probably count the amount of mistakes he has made on one hand.

And what’s with Southampton getting five players in the TOTW?!
