Just back

The thing with Hunt is that he's always got that ability to lose the play in a crucial area.  He did it in the second half but got away with it, other times this season he hasn't been so lucky.

I think he's a fine player and will only get better, but you can see why Hurst is reluctant at times to use him.  I'll happily see him as the mainstay in the team with that risk included that whilst he might ping the ball around like he does and hopefully create goals galore, but he does carry a risk factor too.  

Big key though is getting the right players around him. In that role he's like a Quarterback, it doesn't matter how good his passing is if he hasn't got anyone moving ahead of him.  Clifton and Khouri were ideal (then Holohan when he came on) as they're prepared to run beyond the striker.  Oris and Lloyd both eager and willing to go out into the channels and either take the play with them or create an opening for the runners.  

That has to continue if you want to get the best from Hunt.  You then need to add movement from the wide lads.  If it's wingers they need to be cutting in so the fullbacks can overlap into space or wingbacks they need to be going beyond their markers.  

The other thing to consider is that we will come up against sides that try to physically dominate him, especially if he's proving to be effective.  To counter that you might want a Green type in there, which then completely upsets the dynamic of having forward runners from midfield.   Maybe he and Green sitting behind a quite attack minded 3 with very attacking fullbacks?
