I've said before Alex Hunt needed an arm around his shoulder and a promise he would play half a dozen consecutive games. Not fitting a player of his ability into the team is tantamount to self harm. As his match fitness and game flow inproves, he will only get better. He is far too good for this league, as is Kamil Conte so we need to utilise them both while they are still here. We've wasted 18 months of his 36 month contract already, or Hurst has.

Maybe time for us to move on from highlighting how Hurst got it wrong with Hunt, Glennon, Conteh, Pyke...the guy brought them into the club and Artell is now getting the best out of them.

In the immortal words of Echo & The Bunnymen, nothing lasts forever. Hurst had taken us as far as he could but it looks like he set the next guy up pretty well to continue our journey.

You're saying that Fishy members can't sit around telling each other "I told you so, I knew there was a good player in there", etc., etc.,  and pretend that they know more about football than actual professional football managers?

I've just read the 'Don't be safe' thread and it ties in very nicely.

Hurst knew full well what he was signing in Alex Hunt - a player who likes to take a chance in order to create a chance - it makes you wonder why he ended up here but he now has a manager telling him to take a chance and be less risk averse.

Two different managers, two completely different attitudes.

Hurst loved a safe win and a safe defeat

4 pages of people declaring they were right about Hunt all along. I'm afraid I'm going to have to call this one in for a full inquest.

I submit my evidence for the inquest, m'lud.
Though in all honesty I didn't expect such such a turnaround so quickly, still taking in just how much I enjoyed Saturday.


Quoted from HatTrickHero
I'm not writing off Hunt until the new manager has settled in. Glennon was written off and missing from the squad in Hurst's final days, but has come back flying. Orsi was given 10 minutes at the end of games then released but showed with Crawley hes a handy player over 90.

New start for the team, only fair to wipe all the slates clean and see what they can do in a new environment.

In truth, it will be very interesting to see what tune DA can get out of a fit Charles Vernam.
