Not at all. He gave him a tiny little shove, in return for the one he got, and because Canos was so close to the boards (and because he's a primadona drama queen) he went over them. If the advertising boards weren't so close to the pitch I doubt either player would have even been booked, as Canos would have just stumbled back a bit from the push. If that had been in reverse, I would have suggested that Hunt deserved it for being a twat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Been very good this season. Massive improvement on last season - Competition for his place has obviously motivated him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT...totally agree that he's really kicked on this season. I think most of us were hoping that Pereira would slot straight in as our new right back but Hunt has not just shown a real desire on the pitch but the quality of his crossing has been Premier League standard. Agreed,,, if that gets referred and he ends up with a retrospective ban for that shove, then it wont go down very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nibor Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 He's definitely contributing a lot more than last season, looks comfortable defending and decent delivery going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negan Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Always thought last season he got unnecessary stick, I used to come away from games thinking he did ok only to come on here and find him getting slagged off. Last season he kept picking up knocks so I suppose that had an impact on his overall form being put in and out of the side, this season he's started most games and is staying fit. Probably one of the best RB's in the league at the moment, definitely the best RB at crossing. Long may it continue with another assist on Saturday!

spudski Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I think Hunt and Rowe have been brilliant this season. Doing the dogs work with assists and goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was decent enough defending last season but his crossing was inconsistent at best. This season that part of his game is the one element that has dramatically improved - as his stats are showing and the main reason why he’s getting such plaudits.

fishy Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Yep definitely seems to have upped his game. His crossing seems to be getting steadily better. As others have mentioned he has his weaknesses, but all you can ask of a player is that they improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of our 17 points accumulated so far he must have played a significant part in winning at least 5/6 of them. Both goals vs Stoke. Goal vs QPR cup.

One Team Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Said it on here recently, whilst the obvious players are quite rightly getting credit, Hunt just quietly gets on with it and is giving assist after assist as well as doing the basics well. The most under rated player in the team IMHO. Reminds me of Bradley Orr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly to both- Canos made the most of it too of course! That said, given some of the decisions since April from officials and especially big ones that have gone against us? It's about time!!

mozo Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Do we sometimes judge him based on how he looks? I mean, he's got this slightly neanderthal gait, looks like an extra from Romper Stomper, and you wouldn't expect to see him on the cover of Men's Health. But his energy levels and work rate are top notch, his crossing is a delight, even his link up play on the wing is relatively intelligent. And the strike against QPR was exquisite. I always thought he was a weak link, but I need to reassess... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phileas Fogg Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 I've rated him for a few years so was quite underwhelmed with his performances last season. His distribution was frustrating. The improvement is fantastic to see - I wonder what's bought it on? Perhaps he's over a small underlying injury that wasn't quite enough to stop him playing.

My view too....thought we’d signed a “proper” RB last summer, and thought he was in and out last season. Not as bad as sone made out last season, but not as good as I expected.

There was one game last season, I can't be bothered to work out which, where Hunt literally put in a Premier League wing back performance, and it was a glimpse of what he's capable of. Maybe the competition with Pereira will bring the best out of him this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's one player (like Afobe actually) who I've wanted us to bring in for many years. Was really happy when we got him but was a bit underwhelmed last season. I expected him to play more how he's playing this season - getting up and down the pitch and providing a threat from wide. 8 minutes ago, mozo said: There was one game last season, I can't be bothered to work out which, where Hunt literally put in a Premier League wing back performance, and it was a glimpse of what he's capable of.

That reminds me, I had a strange dream last night where (despite him being on loan) we'd sold Pereira to an Italian side. That'll teach me for eating cheese before bed.

I think the descriptions 'tiny little shove' and 'primadona drama queen' might have made me think that Remember what Beckham got sent off for in the 98 world cup?

Especially the 'primadona drama queen' part. He really is. I don't disagree that many refs would have sent him off, I'm just saying that the advertising boards being so close made it look a lot worse than it was!

OneTeamInBristol Posted October 3, 2019 Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 Think he has had a terrific start to the season. Been consistently solid (bar a half hour spell against QPR I think?) going forward and backwards. Yet another great cross for Weimann's goal last night. 5 assists last season and already 2 so far this one. Personally think he's been one of our best and underappreciated (at the time) recent signings! Does he have a song?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
