Great player. Id love to see him back with us, but ain't going to happen for non footy reasons which is a shame.
He'd improve our team and Im sure he'll improve Wednesdays.

Best right back I've seen in my 30 years watching Town, but always been a problem area. Not great defensively but good going forward. Should be a good signing. Best since 1985?? Give over!! He's not even the best of the last 5 years.... Imo of course |

Good player, would go straight into my team, but I would take him off the moment the oppo winger is enjoying it too much.

Better than Jenkins and Mally brown? Laws? Decent solid championship player but wasted the last 2 yrs IMO.........only played as a loanee and really now needs a good season to re establish himself. If he is "at it" will do a good job for you but could get exposed defensively on your big pitch. Mally Brown would have been worth a fortune in this day and age. Quality. And still now probably a better player than Hunt  |

Interesting observation slaps.....I thought wed were amongst the best teams defensively I saw last season........their two full backs bottled bunn and scanz brilliantly at our place. He will be good going forward....excellent crosser of a ball, but needs to. Improve defensively still I think. |

I started watching Town in 85, Brown was the first right back I ever saw in a Town shirt, can't say he was that good to be totally honest!

Sounds to me like a few are deliberately undermining Hunt's ability just because he fell out with the owner.

Left... As was Burkey.. We've been well served there down the years As was trevitt Trevitt was right back. Mally Brown was the first RB I saw at the club too - although that was in his 2nd spell. Apparently he was better in his 1st spell. As for Jack Hunt - great attacking right-back. Wonderful crosser of the ball, loved to run at defenders & turn them inside out. An exciting player to watch. Defensively, he was inconsistent. Sometimes very good, other times poor. The attacking side of his game was always his forte, and as a result there are some who (rightly or wrongly) put more weight on his defensive abilities and less on his attacking contribution. |

What many of us are somewhat sad to see is that the lad doesn't seem to have progressed at all since leaving us c2 yrs ago and that's both sad and frustrating, because as slaps has said before a fit and firing hunt would be a good addition to our current team. He however burnt bridges by to use deans own words "downing tools" and that is simply unacceptable. |

I'd have him back in a flash, one of the most exciting full backs in English football

Interested to know who was the better RB than him in the last 5 years.. They had different strengths and weaknesses - but I thought Peltier was the better full back in his first spell with us - was that in the last 5 years? |

That leaves Peltier, Woods, Smith, Jazz Richards. He's having a laugh. The burnt bridges excuse is a load of codswallop as well. I like how he gets singled out when the whole team were useless from Jan to April. |

I don't agree with mids re last 5 years, but I have seen several right backs at this club far better than jack hunt...........brown, laws, Trevitt, Jenkins to name but four! Hunt was singled out by the owner for a poor attitude ............ And some of his social media comments added fuel to the fire. He's quite probably a decent lad who got wrapped up in the hype when lots on here had him down as u21 international material ....he clearly has talent, but that doesn't mean you will succeed. The last 2 yrs have been a waste for him with no prem appearances and various loans - hopefully a period at the mahooosive will see him kick on. |

Interesting that no one ever managed to turn him into a wing back - his more natural position. I think Grayson even put him half way up the wing in front of Woods (at Watford maybe) - Grayson canned shortly afterwards!
What always puzzled me about him was that he was great at using his pace going forwards - but never seemed to use it defensively.

He is an arrogant nob however there is no denying his ability. He has proved himself to be one of the best right backs in the Championship. A damn sight more successful than our other academy products. |

I think he ballsed up by forcing the move - we moved to wing-backs around that time & he'd have gone from strength to strength imo. |

You're picking teams in the school playground, you know the one where the shit lad gets left to the end, anyway, you pick Hunt before Smith every time.

Post-injury, not so much. Jenkins - Better defensively, not as good going forward. Overall I'd agree that Jenks was better, but not far better. Plus he did have a spell of being really, really poor. Laws was before my time, as was Mally Brown's first spell (and his 2nd spell I was too young to have much of a worthwhile opinion tbh), so can't comment there. |

Jenks was a quality player imo.....suffered because we never had anybody in front of him to help out......beresford, baldry et al!!!!! I was only a kid when brown and laws were around - but both were outstanding in different ways. Brown a marauding full back who would have been tailor made for the current game. Laws less progressive but a solid player both going forward and defensively. Trevitt could have been the best of the lot but for injury. |
