redsince1994 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 (edited) I liked Hunt, but as others have said it was the right time to release him IF we had replaced him properly. As it stands it has to go down as a mistake for the season, but it will have done wonders for Scott's development. Will come out of the season a much more rounded player IMO (edit: because of his game time at RWB - having to develop different parts of his game) Edited April 28, 2022 by redsince1994 Clarity 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right, he was rushed back from one injury far too soon, and that really was the end of the road for him. With Pring and Dasilva doing decent jobs down our left side, I’m not sure Tommy would’ve got many minutes. Probably much better to have kept Nurse??? Now this I agree with. Obviously in hindsight its easy to say but he's done great for Shrewsbury. I always thought he looked good when he played for us. Relatively young still. Hunt and Rowe were best to be moved on when they were. We are still having a reset of the team and it had to start with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcfc01 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 2 hours ago, pongo88 said: As has been said, he was probably on a high salary, but he could have been offered reduced terms in the same way as Weimann. The person who hasn’t been mentioned in this discussion is Vyner. Pearson’s hints last season seemed to imply that he though that right back was Vyner’s best position, so he probably though Vyner was going to be a regular in that position. In that case he didn’t need Hunt as Tanner, or a similar player was going to be a backup I'm not a great Vyner fan, but he is 100% better than Bell in that position. As for Hunt, should never have let him go imo. Said it was a mistake at the time and we've struggled ever since. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Transfer fees etc less important. It's basically how we did promotion last time out. I liked Hunt, steady and what was needed. Appreciate why he went, suspect we'd have been stronger with him this season though. http://www.financialfairplay.co.uk/scmp.php it is 60% in Lg1 / 55% in Lg2 Also, profit on players sold is included. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riaz Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 He was a player we needed rid of for a long time. The fact we havent replaced him properly, does not change that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 It’s an interesting read. Hunt is obviously a Marmite player, the same as Pack. Imagine the forum after a defeat if they were both in the team. Conversely, imagine the forum if they were both in the team after a win.

So on that stat you suspect he would have lasted the pace. One poster said we would have been promoted But I suspect we may have been few places higher. Perhaps we will see him back here next season yet ! If owls make it.. Just looking at his games for us 18/19 35 appearances 19/20 37 appearances 20/21 43 appearances whilst getting older The Jack Hunt of 20/21 was not the same player as 2018-2020 as he played too much imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit to Hunt, Pearson called out how he played through injury. I recall he got a very bad gash defending a cross, and played for a few weeks knowing that the wound would jeep opening back up. I liked Hunt, he was a steady performer…although when we signed him, I thought he’d do better than he actually did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a problem for me- not your posting of it but the rule itself as it does not in any way account for yoyo clubs...to wipe the slate clean in a way when there is a 3 year rule is pretty illogical on one level.

supercidered Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I was told I was a bit of a Jack Hunt in my day. Unfortunately, it turns out they weren't talking about my footballing prowess. Oh well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He might be on speed-dial to HR as we type! Alternatively, his confidence might be sky-high, because his manager believes in him, picks him over Vyner, etc, etc. His development and understanding of the requirements for Championship level might’ve grown considerably through these 4 or 5 opportunities. We don’t know. I’m just playing Devil’s advocate really, I’m interested in people’s views on these type of thing, especially when we’ve no idea really, but paint a picture as being so black or white. Invariably it’s anything but black and white and I just want others to consider both sides of it. Doesn’t mean they have to though, but that’s all I’m doing. In this example, I’ve used Wes Burns as a good example of the flipside. Perhaps without those games as RWB under Cotts he might’ve ended up being a failed “striker” and not forged a good career as a top end Lg1 WB???.

My problem with him was his control and first touch were not championship standard and his positioning wasn't the best either,never doubted his effort. Shame we didn't get Pisano a few years younger,proper Italian defender! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2015 Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thought he was very 'meh'. Not great. Same as Tommy Rowe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
