Looking at that York highlights clip, accepting that it's very difficult to make a serious assessment on it, looks like York have paired Hunt in midfield with a bit of a terrier type who hustles and wins back possession, freeing Hunt up to be more creative.  On paper he might work well with Thompson.

Artell did sent Hunt out on loan with the remit of learning how to stamp his authority on games.  Again, difficult to tell on highlights, but it does look like he's still hiding a little bit from the play.  I don't know if he's given the freedom to influence play at York but I'd imagine Artell wants to see him demanding the ball in dangerous positions and looking to create at every opportunity.

Also, there's no flipping way we can drop to those depths again.  That standard is awful.  I was struggling to stay engaged for less than 10 minutes of that.  Not sure I can do a full season (again).

I think he'll be hoping he learns to NOT be demanding it/losing it in dangerous positions, but to go and be creative in places it hurts the opposition.

Dangerous from an attacking perspective, not in front of our own goalkeeper.

Alex Hunt got MOM yesterday for York, not sure if BBC have got it wrong but they showed the formation with Hunt player as a centre back and Danny Amos in midfield

York fans on twitter seem to want him signed, not sure we’ve missed him but will be interesting to see how this one plays out at the end of the season

I would still like to keep him and see how he goes in front of Thompson.

I wouldn’t be against that, we know there’s a player in there and maybe with the right players around him - like Thompson - it could bring a more consistent, high performing player

The BBC just randomly guess the formations in the NL - they regularly had Luke Waterfall playing up front for us! The BBC’s coverage of non league is abysmal.

A couple of lads I work with support York and cannot believe he’s playing at that level, there’s obviously a player in there and we’d be mad not to give him a pre season here to prove it.

To be fair to Hunt he’s never been given a good run of games since being back here to show us what he’s made of
