Jeffers217 SteveRoyal I don't understand why everyone slates S Hunt. He puts huge amounts of effort in every game to make up for his average quality.
He had a fantastic start to the season and dipped in form at the same time the whole team dipped in form - watch him when we play well. He deserves his spot, I think.
Effort is no substitute for class and Convey had that class, shame he was hampered by injuries but you can't deny he was a better player. Hunt hasn't really put in the effort people were talking bout since I would say jan in our 2nd prem season. He only plays average when his brother is in there and that's because N Hunt is such a good header of the ball
Firstly, stop sucking Convey's dick. He was great for one season and that was when everyone else was playing well in that same season that we got a record-breaking season, so he was just part of the machine. After that he was nowhere near that good, whether he was plagued with injuries or fully fit, and never showed the potential he had in that season.
Secondly, whether he is playing well or not, SHunt has earnt his place ahead of Convey when he was fit and was rarely displaced from that left wing until recently. His technique may not be the best, but his effort definitely made him the no. 1 left midfielder, NOT Convey. Rather see a player with average technique and loads of effort than a class player who's shows as much effort as a sloth.
Finally, wtf are you on about saying he only plays average when NHunt is playing? There have been loads of game that SHunt has played without his brother and has been MOTM in a fair few of those games. And there's a hell of a lot more to a cross than whether someone is a good header of the ball!
