Alex Hunt Joins York

Quoted from Heisenberg

Is this a suggestion that he’s had a bust up with Artell at HT during the Stockport game? If so, we may be in real trouble….

I’d like to stipulate, we’ve been in trouble for weeks. And weeks.

I really hope he comes back, despite having an awful 45 minutes against Stockport.

I would have Hunt in the side every week as a 1-in-3 performer as it’s better than no hope at all. Now that plan is f#cked. To lose Thomson as well could possibly doom us.

This is really concerning me too, heard the rumour on here that Artell had a bust up with Thompson at half time, he doesn't feature in the squad the next week and Humberside don't raise it like might be expected. Not heard hide nor hair of him since.

IF, and it's a big IF, Artell has had a bust up with Thompson, who was surely our best replacement for conteh, and isn't going to play him any more, 3 weeks into a 1 and a half year contract and the midst of a relegation battle then I think we may be doomed.

Poojah recently wrote a list of all the hallmarks of a manager/team that have completely lost it and noted we met every single one with the exception of a disciplinary issue. IF the above is the case then that will be a complete clean sweep, Bingo, on the list. If we did then I think we could lay claim to the basket case status that clubs normally have to be in in order to be relegated from league 2. But it would be an exceptionally quick coming apart at the seams.

This Thompson thing has concerned me for a little while but I didn't want to say anything. It could be that Hunt going is just Artell not fancying a player who massively flatters to deceive. A player who can control the ball well and pick a pass but all too often hangs on to it for too long in a dangerous area and loses it, or misplaces a simple pass, or who chooses a pass that he can't quite make. A terrible decision maker in other words, and physically weak to add to that. In which case I would accept it, I'd have tried him further up the pitch away from our own goal rather than some of the shite we've been playing but I can understand if that's why he's got rid. BUT if it's due to Artell having had a disagreement behind the scenes with him and so wanting him out, and combined with the Thompson situation, when our position is so dire and our midfield choices so poor then it really does worry me. And I was already flipping worried.

I just hope my suspicions about the Thompson situation are completely unfounded.

I guess we will find out at 2pm on Saturday or after the game .

Didn't look to be any issues with Thompson when they were training on Bradley today

Good. We certainly need him to perform. Maybe him and Holohan to start?

After last saturday, khouri’s loan, and hunt’s subsequent departure, do we have any other option?

With all the ex Town players York will soon be a better team than us.

Providing they stay up I'd expect Gav to go there next season TBH.

Could also see Gav going back to Hartlepool.

Is it also concerning that Morecambe have added a striker to their ranks (Jordy Hiwula) when we seem so apparently threadbare in that department?

Quoted from Son of Cod

Lives in Hull doesn’t he - if York stay up that will be a convenient option? They will pay as well or better than Pools I would have thought.
