I think we definitely miss Simon Ratcliffe :crazy1:

Hunt will need to play well every game to keep his place and I suspect he knows it, one poor game and Marcus will be back with Kev, the best midfield duo IMO.

Hunt is a decent player but would not be in my first eleven when everyone's fit.
 

The David Hunt thread

Reflected on this all week - David Hunt had a really great game on Saturday against Leeds. I think every touch (bar one) was good, which is pretty impressive. Shame he didn't take more of the free kicks, as he can really pull something out of the hat in those scenarios (Gillingham last year - Norwich this year). looked to be really sharp, would like to see him back in the starting line up personally.
 

The David Hunt thread

well we have three decent defensive midfielders for (usually) two places which isn't a bad ratio.

we just need to find a playmaker from somewhere - but one who will also give 100% and can tackle a bit too! not easy to find especially for nothing or a very small fee!!!

On basis of performances this season much to my suprise i would at present prefer to see Hunt playing instead of bean, if the latter can find last seasons form then he would be an automatic choice but at present for whatever reason he seems to have something missing from his game wheras Hunt is playing with an assurance and calmness which has been sadly lacking in others.

We must be watching a different game?
Can't agree......he gave the ball away and bottled a number of tackles.
Bean and Kev were just as bad do all three (at the moment) look like they will struggle at this level.

Didn't notice that at all - spotted once the ball being given away, but otherwise pleased to see him back

what we need is another Hurlock, Bowles , Kamara partnership
and maybe another Bliss
but I like Hunt,
 

The David Hunt thread

i think hunt has done a good job for us since signing, would like to see him and bean start together
 

The David Hunt thread

they have started the last two games together
 

The David Hunt thread

I honestly dont think Hunt should be anywhere near the first team he didnt make it in to Shrewsbury first team, what is he doing in ours?
 

The David Hunt thread

I wasn't totally convinced by Hunt last season but thought he did just enough in the run in to deserve the new contract. What he did or didn't do at Shrewsbury is irrelevant: they are 10th and lost 0-4 today despite having one of the biggest budgets in league 2 - do you trust their manager's judgement?

A more important question would be this: how many games have we picked up points in this season and how many of those was Hunt playing in? I think you may revise your opinion that Hunt isn't good enough once you've looked at the results....

The first comment I first made was probably a little harsh and probably is a good squad player but we have ambitions like everyone in this leauge to get out of it and that is getting promoted and I just dont see him as somebody who can do that starting every game but for e.g. if we were winning 1-0 with ten minutes left or so we would be a good player to have on the bench I just dont see him as someone who will get us out of this leauge. Thats all

So you think he is good enough

I think he's a decent squad player, who's proved effective and scored some vital goals so far in his Brentford career. He's not Andy Sinton, but the fact that he wasn't a legend at Shrewsbury is utterly irrelevant given their manager, spend and success.

Our ambition at the moment is to stay in this league. To do that we need committed players with bottle. I think Hunt fits that mould and will be vital throughout the season.

I suppose your right and what I said at first was too harsh.
 

The David Hunt thread

Hunt did his job today but gave the ball away too often. A decent squad player but we have better and need better.
 

The David Hunt thread

Just got home thought he had a poor game today,bit like how he played when he first came to us,but on saying that he had a good game against Leeds,I'm also not a great fan of his but if used correctly a worthwhile member of the squad.
 

The David Hunt thread

That means 'in your honest opinion' by the way.

O'Connor is certainly more consistent and does that job well. He goes unnoticed but reads the game better, which is why I think AS has him with Bean in the centre, while leaving Hunt to cover the defence. Kev covered Hunt a few times today, as well as dropping into defence when one of the CB's was out of position. Bean is potentially a better player than both of them but it's not showed this season.

Loved this bit:

"I'd spoken to Andy Scott before I signed for Shrewsbury, he seemed to want me here. Then Terry Butcher came into the meeting for about three minutes and I just didn't feel any more. But everything came good in the end."

:D

Thanks mate, what a great fella. He was at the family day and told my mate to take his son down to training anytime.

I have my reservations about Hunt, but on current form, there's no possibility he could be worse then either Bean or Diagouraga.

I like his attitude mate, and he's decent at set pieces. Unlike we have been recently. Must be worth a go in the side.
 

The David Hunt thread

Surely he must get a game. He is a model professional, and has some decent touches on him, can provide a good cross and shot. Bean has a great work rate, and breaks play up very well, but has no passing or shooting ability.

Hunt needs a game.
 

The David Hunt thread

He was caught by the manager making a forward pass once. He never repeated that mistake - he was never given the opportunity.
 

The David Hunt thread

Hunt is a very good professional and very effective in a 4-5-1, but in my opinion he's not quite good enough to play regularly in central midfield in a 4-4-2 in League One, especially away from home (performances at Southend and Charlton last year come to mind). I'm not saying get rid of him by any means, but he wouldn't be "the answer" IMO.
