toooldforthis Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I agree with the commentators that Alex Hunt was the best player on the pitch. He’s positive, quick, played one or two touch, was progressive, didn’t try stupid long diagonal balls and glued everything together. I think he’s better for us than Baz in League One and he has a great future. He looks a real prospect. I hope he’s playing on Tuesday I’d like to see him live again.

Through no fault of his own he arguably lost a year from his career last season due to bad management. He should’ve been sent out on Loan if he wasn’t going to figure in the first team. For us to hang on to him in January was ludicrous in the extreme. I get the feeling while ever Bannan’s here it will block his progress. Bannan’s our best player by far but I just wonder if making the big call to move him on will benefit both Hunt and the team in the short and long term?

Bannan has amazing stats and we came bottom of the league...as a manager that would raise a few flags for me. He’s been a decent player but we’ve never had success with him running midfield. If we can sell Baz I’d snap their hands off. Baz finds positions where too many opposition players are between him and the goal (way too deep)...hence the clueless diagonal balls. Hunt plays ahead just between those lines and finds way better passes as there’s more space. Moore knows this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which we both know isn't going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, you’re right, he’ll start Bannan...it’s a huge risk if he doesn’t...he’ll blend him in of time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 I never pay any attention to pre season games.. Its purely about getting players up to match speed. Yes as a club and team we are in dire straits but we shouldn’t be using a 2-0 victory against chester as anything to go by ffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomtheOwl95 Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It was a decent performance, 2nd game into pre season so hard to learn too much from it. Some of the younger lads stood out. I'd really fear for us if we lost Windass and Bannan which I still think could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just giving so many silly fouls away. He is awful. As someone said above, Bola looked miles better. I think Borner gets a lot of unfair stick on here. When he first came, he settled very well and prior to our alarming drop in form, when we were third before plummeting, he was easily in our top 3 players for performances that season. It’s very unlikely he will be here come the start of the season, but I think he would be very good in league one and also weigh in with a few goals.

Philb125 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Whilst I enjoyed watching yesterday, I’m hopeful that in other preseason games we mix and match a bit more. How well would Hunt do with Adeniran and Luongo besides him? How would Bannan do with youthful, pacy runners to pick out. Plenty more preseason games to come so hopefully get to see them mix up a bit between old guard and youth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
