Olé Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 In the spirit of threads for players, I thought I would resurrect this month old one because I think Jack Hunt has been absolutely outstanding since coming back into the side. Obviously Kelly was poor yesterday but on recent form Hunt is the best full back at the club by some distance. He setup the winner against Rotherham and was involved in both of the goals at Stoke. With Eliasson not in the team he seems to be our best crosser of the ball, something he hasn't had enough credit for, but of more importance to me is he actually seems to have taken his game up a level or two since the competition from Pisano. Earlier in the season he was getting found out defensively but he is clearly working harder than ever at the moment to win it back. Of course he's not the only player doing a good job at the moment but because he's specifically responded to a challenge - when we can all think of players at City in the past who would regress at Ashton Gate and certainly not bat an eyelid after losing their place - I really think he deserves all the praise in the world, as this thread shows he was in danger of being written off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fodbarmyarmy Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 He is a great example of how competition for places should work...he lost a bit of form and a fit again Pisano got the shirt, but since Pisano was rested and Hunt got the shirt back his performances have kept him there...

Pisano is Injured, but agree Hunt has kicked up a gear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Port Said Red Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Considering he was up against possibly the biggest wide player I have seen since Jonah Lumu I thought he had a great game yesterday. He dealt with him better than Kelly did when he switched wings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I posted earlier the Owls fans weren’t bothered that he’d joined us. To me that’s more revealing than him losing his place to Pisano. Not sure where you get the information from that we aren't bothered that Hunt had joined you (or as you probably mean left us) our current right back is the worst in the league, offers nothing going forward or defensively and I can guarantee that every Wednesday fans would carry Jack Hunt back from Bristol on their back given half a chance of having him back He did get some stick at Hillsborough but that's par for the course here.....if full backs are up the pitch attacking then they are "out of position" defensively and if they aren't then they don't give us enough going forward.

Garland-sweden Posted January 13, 2019 Report Share Posted January 13, 2019 Think Hunt is a good player, he has the feeling and also a little bit naughty, like him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got it from my regular visits to Owltalk. The general view on there was that Hunt was steady and reliable rb who got forward well but whose crossing left a lot to be desired. Most of them were when we signed him - and they were right - that said his crossing has improved in the brief retime he’s been at AG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a visit now and see what folk think of Liam Palmer who's replaced him.....and ignore those posts that say he's been better recently, what they mean is that everyone else has come down to Palmers level so he doesn't look as bad ps....don't take any notice of Owlstalk....it's full of people that either don't go or are idiots (aka don't share the same views as me!)

I thought it was a really good signing in the summer, and although he had some decent games, I was disappointed with him overall. When Pisano got back in the side there were big question marks, and possibly a big decision to make over Pisano’s contract, especially with Vyner coming into the mix next season. But Hunt has come back in and looked every bit the Championship RB I hoped we’d signed. I also think in his defence earlier this season, he had a different RW in front of him every game. It’s been Weimann consistently for several games now, and things like that make a difference. Our right side was the creative side for 60 minutes yesterday. Hunt and Weimann on each other’s wavelength. Not to be underestimated how little partnership form and help the overall team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
