Alex Hunt Joins York

Some great post on here, some odd ones where posters who have never been anywhere near kicking a ball professionally writing off a young kid trying his best to make his way.

Mappers called it right, wrong loan at the wrong time for Alex Hunt

Young kid? He's 24 in a couple of months!

I'd love him to succeed, especially as we paid a fee and he's got another year on his deal, but other than a brief spell in the National League where he did well, he has shown very little in most of the games I've seen him play since his return.

Perhaps he can turn the corner, but he's not a young kid any longer. Glennon is six months older than Hunt. Tharme is a little over 1 year older than him. Nobody would call either of them a young kid.

I'd personally be surprised if Hunt is starting games after the summer, unless something changes. On the assumption that we survive this season and Artell rebuilds in the summer with a view to playing a more expansive game, he might be given another chance, but he's running out of time to prove himself.

He'll surely be given a chance in pre season to earn a squad place. I personally doubt he will see out his contract with us though.

I think we all thought this season was pivotal for him and it's not happened for him, so I think the odds are now strongly against it working out here.

I get that you want to support Alex Hunt, who’s our player and respect that.  The “Graham Souness” argument of if you’re not a professional so you don’t get to have an opinion really grinds my gears.

We’ve all seen him play and can come to our own opinions, I wouldn’t boo him at a game or anything but I reserve the right to cringe if I see him starting in midfield for us due to how often he gives the ball away in dangerous situations - as he’s done at York.  Ideally he’ll get another chance there and take it but the evidence suggests that’s not likely.

But again as never being a pro my opinion is worth intercourse all so feel free to not read this

I always wanted to see Khouri, Conteh and Hunt as a combination and for obvious reasons it never did/will happen but I felt it could have been an exciting trio in midfield in terms of technical capability and balance .

Whether Hunt's race is run here , time will tell - Artell seems a straight shooter so assuming he reverts to a more passing based game next time out and with what he's said ,  Hunt  might well get one last chance in pre-season to impress . I fear for him having a career at all in the game if it doesn't work out as the lower you get the more physical and less footballing it is in general .

A player with ability and potential but at 24 we've not seen enough of either.Hes a player on form you'd build a side around and carry via two yard dogs.Sadly he has never warranted such backing Hopefully he is told last chance saloon ups his game and gets us all off our seats

Illustrate to me where I said you couldn't have an opinion?

I haven’t seen Khouri play in so long now, but I hope he gets fit as I feel he has a bright future here.

Mate it’s the whole tone of your argument but let’s leave it as this is a place for opinions - not a forum for ex pros

I think Hunt has potential but trying to get a tune out of him is a different matter. I've heard he looks quality in training but as soon as he gets infront of a crowd it's like he loses confidence and becomes half a player Unfortunately if DA doesn't give him another chance after his loan I can see the lad literally disappearing down the football pyramid.

Nothing coming out of York is positive neither
