Well we did and we played him centre midfield on a couple of occasions, when I thought we were missing a trick not playing him there more often. Being two footed he looked very comfortable there.

Ian66 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Criticising full backs is a curse of the “modern game”......there’s no other position on the pitch where players are supposed to be world class going forward and at the back No one says “that Abraham, decent finishers but if someone runs at him one on one he’s rubbish”....even midfielders who are creative but poor at the defensive element get a “yes but that’s not why he’s in the team” Full backs however are supposed to be fantastic at everything despite quite often being the least expensive player.....Hunt suffered with it when at Wednesday and all our full backs have copped it for years (mind you, our current right back Odebayo, bloody deserves it!

bcfc01 Posted September 15, 2019 Report Share Posted September 15, 2019 Hunt has 4 assists in 7 league games. Or 5 in 8 if you include the QPR EFL cup game where he scored a screamer. Good solid player who gets stuck in when necessary and isn't averse to a bit of shithousery now and then. Having Pereira as a backup is luxury.

I’m pretty sure I was very happy when he signed and thought we had a “proper right back” (my words at the time), able to do all the bits a RB should.

But I was gutted that Pisano left - a real proper right back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Pereira as a backup is luxury. Great number of assists so far and if he keeps it up it’d be 25+ assists for the season. He needs to continue with that ratio, add a few more goals and improve defensive positioning. If he does that he could legitimately claim to be the best right back named Hunt we’ve ever seen at City.

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Great start to the season- wonder if the signing of Pereira has helped push him up a notch- strong competition for places can do this. RB or RWB? With our current setup maybe a bit of the latter, may well be better for him due to his attacking instincts. 4 assists though? Unless I've missed one it's 3? That'd be one v Derby and 2 on Saturday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to take on board that this will happen with all of our players - that is why they play in the Championship for us......Hoping it isn't a curse but Hunt seems to getting more consistent, and long may it continue.

If he puts in crosses like those on saturday i'll have no complaints. But he did that last season - 2 assists in one game. But he needs to do it more often.

To be fair he wasn’t the only one that day , the sun played havoc for those cross field balls . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Park Reds Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Well done Jack Hunt- proving me wrong - his crossing this season has been excellent. Very good at getting forward- very fit bloke. On form at the moment and hope he continues to make the place his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
