It’s all core strength and “fine tuning” stuff that he’s doing. I go 5 times a week.. I’m 6’2 and about 15 stone. Most people are commenting about him needing to bulk up and get big. But my point is it’s the opposite.. he should just play to his own strengths. He could put on a stone or two of muscle quite easily through diet and lifting but he’d still be quite a weedy bloke who could be bullied on the ball. He should focus on being much quicker than his opponents and better technically.. Better to be outstanding on the ball and nippy and able to go past people than it is to be ok on the ball and sturdy.. Foden’s game is who he should try and copy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's your w@nk negative attitude that's crap. He’s useless. He can only pass 5 yards to either side and that’s his supposed strength. Things he can’t do/doesn’t have… 1. Physical strength 2. Can’t head 3. Can’t tackle 4. No awareness 5. No speed 6 doesn’t dribble I could probably add more. He should have been released as he will struggle even in the Pub League. I’m much more excited about Dele-Bashiru and even Liam Waldock than Hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest gizowl Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 Don't know whether he'll make it or not but I think this will be the season we find out. He's not the biggest but look at Bannan and Fleck they seem to have done alright for themselves and you can see why he's working on strength prior to preseason as he is a midfielder .

Just focus on speed. he’s never going to be a big lad as he doesn’t have the genes. The best weak looking players are like Foden and they can go past people. More size slows you down, Michael Owen did it when he had all the injuries and he was never the same player once his pace went Quick reps low weight, build up real muscle strength rather than bloated show muscle that's what he needs. I've lost count of how many times I've asked 20-25 year old labourers who go to the gym all the time to give me a lift and they struggle. Think of the likes of the triathletes or a lot of rugby wingers, they're a lot stronger and more powerful than they look. Little Graham Hyde wasn't the biggest, but he could hold his own. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on him he's only had bit parts in a struggling side under several managers. We're bringing in very few if any players and what we do bring in probably will be around his age. This is the season we'll see if he's got it or not but what I do know is he'll give it 100 % every chance he gets which is a lot more than some of those pathetic losers we've just released.

Probably told him to get on his bike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All good points. But I guarantee this will be his last season with us and he’ll contribute next to nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buck Rogers Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Only really saw him against (I think) QPR. I saw a player who read the game, saw opportunities, played positive passes and, get this, actually played the ball for team mates to run onto instead of straight at them or behind them. Seeing more of that with improved fitness will only be a good thing for us. Keep up the hard work, Alex. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go on - show us how knowledgeable you are Anyone can sit just saying every player is crap - takes no brains or skill to do that at all 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
