It's a poor choice of club to loan him to for me. Not the first time either, Darren Moore recalled him back to Wednesday from us, did little with him then he ended up at a very weak relegation -bound Oldham. His game is all about finding that little bit of space and building attacks, can't see how that will work in a pretty awful and confidence shot York side.

Quoted from Brummie Codfather


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


It's probably the saddest part of football most of us don't want to dwell on, and its that 0.012 % of academy youngsters make it to pro. (according to Michael Calvin, author of the book "No Hunger in Paradise: The Players. The Journey. The Dream,")
Alex might be just hanging in as he travels down the scale, I mean Town are in 4th tier so the bottom is not that far below us. Shame but there it is.

York fan here.

Hunt made a slow start to his loan but has been improving each game. Has that bit of quality. Maybe needs to impose himself that bit more, but promising signs.

Danny Amos has been playing. Looks ok but nowt special. He's our only natural LB. Good enough but only just.

The Shop is still plodding on. He seems to have lost all ability to control the ball but is still a useful late sub as a battering ram.

He's taken it to new levels now though. A few weeks back he started a game, had about a dozen touches all of which lost the ball, sometimes in comical fashion. Was wheeled off early. Still has the knack of scrambling one in from close range as a sub though.

When Lenny first came to us, a Bury supporting friend told me that his second touch was always a sliding tackle because his first touch was shite. Nothing's changed but fair play to him, he's made career from it.

Just seen the result, huge win that, in a way surprised Neal Ardley got sacked, would have thought he would turn it around.
