Hurst signed Hunt, not just once, but twice (on loan, and then permanently on a long-term deal). Do you really think Hurst didn't see something in Hunt?
He's worked with him for over a year and a half. Every single day in training. He's given him countless opportunities. He knows every mistake and also every conversation that has been had with Hunt in terms of what he needs to improve. The question Hurst asks himself is will Hunt take on that information to become the player that he needs to become. Right now, it's not looking great. Hurst started the season with him, and again he's out of the team. He's seeing something he's not happy with and he's looking for a response from Hunt. Perhaps being in the team, he feels its too risky to and the more he gets exposed, the more he loses his confidence, so he's took him out to work on something. We do not know, however, we do know that Holahan has yet again forced his way back into the team. Maybe he doesn't always set the world alight, but he seems to have the right sort of mentality, and players need to see that and try to emulate that.
I want Hunt to force Holahan out of the team, and realise that potential, but he needs to take that chance. He cannot be given it. Morris didn't get kept on and constantly pushed into the first 11, why should he?
How is he going to get game time? It would seem Ainley and Andrews (neither look signings to get excited about) are now above him in the pecking order which seems an extraordinary fall from grace as he was first choice in pre season and the first two games. |

Not sure when Hunt has had countless opportunities but why let the truth spoil your narrative.

By performing in training, obviously. Do you think Hurst wants his own player or a loanee to succeed? He clearly sees them as ahead in training. Hurst gets excrement for not signing replacements for injuries, and now he's blamed for signing them? No one's place in the squad is guaranteed, and people need to fight for their place. |

Reading this thread.. I have to say it makes me ashamed to be a Town fan. This pile on of Alex Hunt is shameful. If I were him and read this thread, I wouldn't want to put a GTFC shirt on ever again.
Some of you should have a word with yourselves..
FWIW, I think he's a decent player and has been underused this season..

It isn't a pile on. Hurst haters are jumping on it saying he should play and Hurst is flipping up by not playing him. The response is simply that Hurst sees him in training and may be justified in his decision. It isn't a pile on to say a manager probably has their reasons. Everyone wants Hunt to succeed, but not everyone believes he's ready to be a guaranteed starter yet. |

100%. He seems to be the only player not allowed to underperform. |

I think the problem with Hunt is that when he was with us on loan we saw what he can and set his standard. This is what he has to Live up to. Ok not all the time but most of the time, everybody has an off day. |

It hardly seems like a pile on when numerous posters are posting saying he should be in the team.

Hunt’s probably got a pile on sitting on that hard, damp subs bench every week. |

Regardless of how many fans say he should be in the team, PH is the manager, and obviously he is not happy with what he is seeing every day in training. I think he is more qualified to be the judge of who should play in his team, rather than unqualified fans. |
