Alex Hunt Joins York

Quoted from TAGG

Berrett, had to look him up.
Played 51 games for Town and I can't remember the bloke, was he that bad or is it my age.

Bang average. A shirt filler.

Like playing with 10 men, backwards or sideways with every pass, awful awful player

I don't think Hunt understood his role in the team when Artell arrived.

Those first few games he was probably playing his natural game in the centre of midfield with little instruction and a bit of freedom.

Then, as Artell began imposing his style, Hunt became a bit more of a passenger.

That style, in theory, should've suited Hunt, but following that win at Salford I saw a Town team full of players looking rather bemused by what they should be doing.

Clearly, after the Doncaster defeat, Artell changed things up and made us a bit more robust, which was a style that definitely wouldn't suit a player like Hunt, and so it made sense, I suppose, to let him find game time elsewhere.

If everything works out perfectly, Hunt returns in the summer having gained confidence and hits the ground running in pre-season, effectively feeling like a new signing.

Following today's win at Crewe, which makes it just three defeats in 12, it suggests the players are becoming a little clearer with the system they're expected to play.

If Hunt is still wanted and learns to play in that system, he could yet prove to be a decent asset for us next season.

Quoted from MuddyWaters

He was excellent at MK and Oxford and then at home to Crewe. Arguably the best player across Artell’s first three games so I don’t know how you work that out. Indeed, I was talking to a Town player in the last week who described Hunt as technically fantastic. There’s clearly something else wrong but I don’t think he should be described as mediocre.

I hear that, but then I remember Nathan Jones saying that wayne/jason????? was the best technical player in the Luton squad. Joined us, totally ineffectual and ended up at somewhere like Gateshead. He was so anonymous I can't even remember his name!

ps muddy can I have a pm as well please??

Yup!

Hunt was deployed to York to get match sharpness and come back, hopefully a better player and stake a claim for a shirt. He's done that. This board is awfully cynical, some posters seemed to be happy when his early games were not great and he was subbed, a lot of 'tood you so' claims. Now he's getting glowing reviews it's 'right, sell him then'.

He's knuckled down, earnt praise and shown how he can be the player that Artell thinks he is.
The Town team he featured in was based around a slow, switched off midfield. He'd have had a field day v Crewe.
Unfair to demand consistency from Hunt when the whole team should be delivering just that,  as they did yesterday against Crewe.

Just to be clear, I was talking about James Berrett, not Hunt!

Both

To be fair, he did have a field day against Crewe at home. Best we’ve played at home all season.

Interestingly, as York’s season finishes next Saturday, he will be available for our last game!

Hunt is definitely returning to the club it has been stated by Artell and by various individuals at the club several times.

A player as talented as hunt deserves another crack at the whip.

Seem to be quite a few players out at York. Does the club have a deal with York/close ties with them ?
