Hunt

[Kopparberg]

Hunt did well for us.

 

Not going to knock him for that. 

 

He was absolutely terrible today though.  

[Salmonbones]

I'm pretty sure it's because he's a right back not a wing back at heart.

First of all what was his hair all about? Second Bit disappointed that when he was subbed to warm applause from the Wednesday fans commented on by the Sky team he didn't acknowledge it at all. Can understand that he was disappointed at being subbed but wouldn't have hurt him to applaud the fans.

Very poor behaviour. 20,000 fans from a club you don't play for applauding you and you ignore them.   Very sporting.

The only disappointment I had with his substitution was that we lost our two-man advantage.

His passes are always kind of like lofted, like his leg is actually a golf club.

Not wound up just disappointed I suppose. Saw an interview with Dion Dublin a while ago when he mentioned one of his most memorable games was the one at Hillsborough when all 4 sides stood to applaud him in his retirement season.

Probably because that’s was his last ever game as a pro footballer. That would be an emotional moment when both fans clap you off. 
 

Hunt will probably play at Hillsborough again in his career.

As a defender, I never rated him - often out of position and seems unable to stop crosses coming in. 

 

Easy to say it today, but Palmer is a much better all round player. 

 

Playing devils advocate, people were saying the same things about Palmer plus his reluctance to track back. Just a few games ago Palmer was struggling in games, not looking the part and receiving criticism on here. To be honest he looks far better at left back than right back.

[Stoop]

Complete chav and also a very poor right back

 

Couldn't understand the applause tbh 

[Andrew_Owl]

Bit arrogant not acknowledging the fans. Was happy when we got rid of him, never really rated him whilst he was here and selling him helped out with FFP.

Imagine being so utterly useless after 10th second at home at your former employer you can be forgiven for not getting on the bus as quick as possible.

Sat on the wing, was receiving the ball but he couldn't do anything with it, sounds all to familiar. 

To be fair to him..second half he did do summat with it...passed it to The North

[handworth52]

I remember towards end of his time here he got face on with our crowd probably to do with always passing it back to keeper etc . he is known for getting monk on ,its his loss anyways for not clapping crowd today . wont be doing it again for him im sure. 

[Johnny Concrete]

To be fair in his first season with us, I thought him and Wallace looked a decent combination down the right hand side, seemed to have a good understanding of eachother. However there was many occasions when defensively he looked very suspect, as some others have said I think hes more suited to a wing back role and not actual fullback. Think today when he lost possession twice in the space of 5 minutes summed his game up. I still have nightmares of when he got megged by Brookes in "that" game.

[james o connor]

God only knows why we applauded . Like I said at the game ‘ we really are too nice as a fan base’ always remember our fans clapping Tudgay at city ground when he scored wtf ... couldn’t care less about any player when they leave, especially bang average ones like hunt . 
 

for the record he was awful today

Very over rated in his time here 

 

Quick and athletic but not much more

One of Carlos' favourites. Didn't matter how bad he played, he kept his shirt.

[TrickyTrev]

I thought it was a bit arrogant for him not to acknowledge the warm applause he got from the home fans but on reflection he was probably just embarrassed having let himself down with his performance today.

He wasn't overrated at all.. people could see him for what he was and reacted accordingly..

 

What made you come up with that post?

He was overrated by alot of the fans he's average at best..

[Greengrass]

Whilst walking out of the ground today, I heard the bloke in front of me say he didn't even know Hunt was on the pitch until he was subbed. Not sure what to make of that.

Weird player. 

 

When we first signed him, he was pretty good going forward. Perhaps a bit hit and miss with his crossing, but he could beat a man and offered a good link up with Wallace. You could almost forego his defensive shortcomings, because he might offer something going forward. 

 

Over time, those attacking attributes seemed to be almost coached out of him. 

 

By the end he was neither really here nor there. 

 

Today was more of the same from him. Yes, he had a header cleared off the line, but he posed little threat going forward and was rinsed by Harris and bulled by the Big Man. 

 

We seemed to target him as a weak link.
