I know he's very marmite with our fans.


Genuinely baffles me this.  On the wing and at this level, he's fantastic and has proven so.

I completely agree, I think he'll be a huge asset under Artell.  Also gives us ridiculous wide options for the 4-3-3 that Artell looks to favour (Vernam, Khan, Eisa, Gnahoua, Pyke and Wilson).

I'm not sure we should be talking about the personal lives of players on this forum.

My only issue with Hunt, similar to Vernam was consistency. It is clear both can play football, the problem was they only seemed to turn up one in three games, one in five games whatever it may be.

Now it might still be a little early to say he's past that, but three good performances in three games is showing promise. I do think Hunt playing higher up the pitch rather than the deeper holding role he did under Hurst has helped, he seems to have more freedom to move around and find the space he needs and wants.


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara

I once said Gazza's IQ was less than his shirt number and he asked me: What's an IQ? - George Best

I think Khouri will be a great addition to the squad when he returns too.


He made the bench for Oxford, so can't be too far away

Yep, thought I'd missed someone!

7 into 2 is a tight squeeze to say the least. Potentially a bit of flexibility in that, Arthur played in the No 10 role away at MK Dons and was excellent, I think Ainley can potentially do that too when Artell (as I expect he's smart enough to do) adjusts his system at little when it suits.

Also Wilson and Pyke could arguably classed more as strikers than wingers but, certainly in the case of Pyke, look more effective when starting out wide.  Wilson, to my eyes anyway, is looking more like an impact type sub.

All good options to have.

It is good flexibility and on their day all of them are good players at this level. Hopefully they'll find their form consistently in a new system that gets the most out of their strengths. I think Pyke definitely looks better starting out wide. He's not got the awareness or movement to play centrally but is good enough when play is in front of him to be effective coming from the touchline to support the central striker.
