Ali G Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Early on in the season thought he had some terrible games, but fair play to him in the last 5-6 games he did really well. I personally think we need to ship Palmer out and bring in another full back to Challenge Hunt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tea Baggins Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I agree. Hunt is more than capable, especially if we dare go to Chelsea 3-4-3 He'd be great in that Moses position. Reach on the opposite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Hunt Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 We need someone who can actually cross a ball on a regular basis . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerowl Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Think we need better in that position. Both going forward and defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianb1 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 We don't have 1 decent full back at the club! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulva Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hunt, like Reach, isn't a fullback or winger. They are tailor made for the wing back role. New centre half, Lees, Hutch back 3. Hunt and Reach wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO is he just isn't consistent enough defending or attacking He wastes far too many of the positions he gets in but agree he did better in the last 3rd of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianb1 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Wing backs are players that aren't really good enough to get in a 4-4-2 so you change system to shoe horn them into the team. Neither good enough defending or attacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluey9 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hunt was far better at the back end of the season because he got a run in the side instead of the pathetic play one game miss the next, which Carlos had used for most of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damianb1 Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 I agree he was better the last period of the season but being better still doesn't mean good enough. I was lucky enough to see the best right back inside the world (& in my view possibly the best of all time) play for us 25 years ago and no full back will ever come close so they will always lose by comparison.

How we then set up the midfield and strikers is a different question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_armo Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Would love to see the stats from games, as I think this lad must cover more distance than anyone else on the pitch Works hard, improved his defending especially blocking/stopping crosses and looks like he actually wants to be here and win No complaints from me, like the op says just needs a better backup than palmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jordanl Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 We need a right back to take Hunt's place, he has been awful for most of the season, he had one or two good games towards the end, but in matches against fast wingers he was torn to shreds, including Huddersfield. Same with Pudil, we need two new full backs who are actually good, not rubbish like Fox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheriwozgod Posted June 3, 2017 Share Posted June 3, 2017 Agree with OP we DO need another right back to replace Palmer. He has been a steady squad player for the past 5 years but IMHO his level is probably league 1. As for the potential new right back it depends on what money is available........................Maxime Colin at Brentford or Darikwa at Burnley would be good, but if we need to balance the books with a few loanees then Johnjoe Kenny at Everton would be decent.

If you insist on tactically chopping and changing ever week, it's detrimental to cohesion. When we had less options in the squad I think we were a better team as the players played regularly together. Just a thought. I still play five a side with some buds who I've been playing football with since school. The teams we play these days maybe younger fitter and quicker, but our teamwork, covering and understanding makes up for this.
