Match Thread Slough

Except he didn’t say that. Its not the sort of sentiment he, or any other rational poster would make. You put two and two together and deliberately misrepresented his actual view, or, presented it in its most extreme interpretation. And you did that in order to make an obtuse, wrong point, or to illicit an argumentative dynamic. That’s what a straw man argument is. I repeat - do you actually want us to take your ‘opinion’ of his factual comment seriously knowing that nobody would credibly claim that Hurst was sacked because he chose not to select Hunt? I either don’t believe you, or find that conclusion, if it is a real one for you, to be incredulous. Diehard is about the least likely contributor to post something as crass. You, however, do have form in exactly this kind of area - usually seeing you retreat to a bogus victim/I’m entitled to my opinion position.

Facts are - Hurst didn’t select Hunt very often. He also did/didn’t select lots of other players and often it didn’t work out well. When Hunt did play I think everyone felt he didn’t do enough to justify a change of those decisions and didn’t play to the standards he had previously shown. Giving him a run of games might have seen him put that right; we’ll never know.If anyone has said ‘Hurst was sacked and results were poor because he didn’t play Hunt enough’, maybe you can point at that.

I disagree with this post, but this is your opinion, which I accept.  For you to say I retreat to a bogus victim etc. is childish.  I AM entitled to my opinion, and will post it on here whenever I want to, same as everyone else can on this forum.

Blocked.

That's your opinion.  My opinion is that for whatever reason, PH didn't select Hunt, which as Manager was his choice.  We don't know what Hunt was like in training, what his attitude was to being dropped etc.

"We don't know what Hunt was like in training, what his attitude was to being dropped etc" That's both/all of us , however BD/SP have played him, and haven't lost a match. We are not out of the woods yet but its a good start. They seem to be able to get a much better response from the same group of players. That's all people are saying.
