s6 owl Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Putting him in alongside Bannan against a team like Brentford was never going to end well baffling decision from Monk. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McRightSide Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Sadly, he’s not a patch on Pelupessy Joey did well when he came on tonight Hunt was atrocious 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holmowl Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Any fair minded fan would say he’s young but was miles out of his depth tonight. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Down South Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I have to question if he’s not ready yet then will he ever be? In our current position I don’t think we can afford to give him the games he needs, so those suggesting a loan spell in League 1 might be right. My fear would be that he couldn’t hold down a starting spot at a lower level given his lack of physicality. His skill set seems more suited to the Championship in a team that passes the ball more than we tend to. Maybe Brentford might take him as a favour and develop him for us!

I don’t think he’s not ready yet, it was just the wrong selection. With Brown and Luongo missing, whatever midfield we were to field would have been severely weakened. However, the best balance would have been to select FDB and Joey as replacements Were it Bannan who was injured, then fair enough, Hunt would be the correct call. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree it was a bold / poor (delete as applicable) decision to go with both Bannan and Hunt. What’s starting to worry me a little is that one of our star academy products just doesn’t look ready at all. Believe me I love to see us bringing our own players through, so hope I’m totally wide of the mark on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hack-Abusi Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Poor management 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McRightSide Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Agree selecting Hunt tonight was poor management At the same time, pretty much all of our Academy prospects look well below the required standard...all the way up to those ones who been in the first XI for a decade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4evaowl Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Pity he can’t go in loan as he needs regular first team football. There is a player in there, you can see it, but a bit too soon for regular championship football. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who would put both Bannan and Hunt together in the middle- common sense says no. Not even a footballing brain says no but Mr Monk chose to .Hunt was 19th man Saturday, how can he then be starting? Penney- not involved, not consistent? Jheez, how many of these tonight are consistent in their performances? Academy graduates need to move on to get the respect they deserve Interesting comment, do you think the likes of Penney and Hunt would develop better at this stage in their careers at a different club? For me, Academy graduates need to earn respect, which so far they haven’t managed to do. What they do deserve is a chance to develop if they have the aptitude and application. Maybe we are selling them short In that respect, but can’t see anything changing whilst we are fighting for our lives this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 I like the lad and I think he’s got a chance of making it here but it was a totally bizarre team selection by our managerial god. The lads been out of action for 2 or 3 weeks then gets a start out of the blue as Luongo’s replacement when he isn’t a defensive midfielder against one of the best teams in the league. It was always going to end badly and it was inevitable he would get hooked at H-T. Thing is our MG makes these bizarre calls regularly either with the starting eleven or his mystifying substitutions and as for his continued support of Dawson when he drops b*ll**k after b*ll**k it really is taking the pi$$? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Hunt Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Not read the whole thread but there were posters on here saying we should get rid of Bannan (to Brentford as well ) and replace with Hunt . Big ask on the lad tonight in basically a 4 2 4 first half 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we're struggling for numbers due to injuries (Again), but for me hunt and bazza are better protected in a 3. We asked too much of a young, little midfielder /playmaker, playing alongside a little playmaker defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malek Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Hunt looked poor just like Bannan did, not because they did anything wrong but due to getting bypassed by players around them who kept knocking long balls over their heads. While we tried to play passing football we looked good and created problems for Brentford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
