Hunt has been playing poorly recently, running into too many cul-de-sacs, miss placing passes, miss hitting crosses and skewing shots.
He is inconsistent, but he will always cause the opposition difficulties with his attacking style of play and desire to try to create something. When he's hot the ball always seems to bounce just right for him. Other times like today he snatches at everything and makes poor decisions.
None of that changes the fact he is our most effective attacking player and fully deserves his place. He also does a hell of a lot to break up the oppositions game and attacks.
Ideally given most of our players' performances this season we'd get an entire new team in the summer. That just isn't possible or plausible though. Hunt is not a player we desperately need to replace and left wing is certainly not a position we are crying out for a new player in.
AP clearly seems to have run out of steam in crying because he thinks we're going to go down now we're looking close to safety, so must turn his depressive attention elsewhere and once again start over reacting about something.
SAfety is still the goal, few new players in the summer in the areas we need and a rejuvenation of plenty of our current players (who we know can do better) and all could look a whole lot more rosey. It won't necessarily be plain sailing, but all it takes for any team outside the big 6 or 7 clubs is a few players out of form, a couple of ropey signings and the odd injury and anyone can have a terrible season and go down.
