bcfcdeano Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Whats with Nicky Hunt? He is injured, but we dont hear anything about him - apart from everyweek on the list of unavailable players! Can anyone confirm how long he's out for? At the risk of starting a mass debate, I'd stick him in at the back alongside carey, fonts and caulker - fully fit he should be class Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In most of the few he's played he's been a total liability. I don't actually believe he is injured, but to be honest whether he is or not is academic as he'll never play for the first team again.

bcfcdeano Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 I know this would cause a debate however we dont hear anything about him - he must be injured because he's never in the reserves (to me that is the ideal time to play him to hopefully entice someone to take him) Saw him against Millwall and he looked slow, saw highlights at Leeds and he was at fault - but at full fitness how has he gone from Prem football to ..........well today Maybe i jumped the gun with stick him in the team, but be nice to know the status of the players at some point (didnt hear about Maynard for ages until brought up on here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFCfan Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 He played in the last reserve game im sure. I dont think he's injured either. Just not in Millens plans at all and effectivly getting paid god knows how much a week to keep fit 5 times a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 People say "he's come from prem football" all the time, but didn't he spend most of his time in Bolton reserves, on a good contract, just taking the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Interesting. Any idea how many were 'off the bench'? Interesting? My initial reaction was' horrifying'. I knew his stats were bad, but what in the hell were we thinking when offering this player a contract? I do realise he was Coppell's player, and the board must back their Manager, but did noboby question this? I truly am staggered, it's not as if we haven't been burnt before (Dinning for example), so are there no checks or questions asked? I don't know why I'm bothering, but in Hunt's defence he was brought in by Coppell. Maybe he is disillusioned and uninspired by the fact that Millen (who is probably a nobody in a Premiership player's eyes) is now in charge. So it's no wonder Hunt sits out games injured, no doubt he is being paid well and is only obliged to do as the club require of him, ie turn up for training and matchdays. His Agent must be one hell of a salesman. But it's not purely down to him we are in this situation. I can't remember either the forum being so united over a player, and we are equally united over Caulker for the totally opposite reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeRed Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 99 starts for Bolton in 10 years - he was never a regular premier player. It's a bit like Dagenham fans expecting they've signed a "ChampionshipStandard Player" in Akinde - just because we're in the Championship. Hunt haqs been possibly our worst ever signing in recent years along with Styvar. Incredible to think how managers can get it so wrong - 5 minutes on the Bolton forum would have revealed dozens of fans offering to drive him to Bristol with overpaid waste of space the most common phrase used by the majority of Bolton fans CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More incredibly is that an experienced manager, a professional as we are kept being told, considered Hunt to be a top player and an improvement. I would love to have been at the game Coppell watched when he earmarked him as a BCFC player. Staggering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon79 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Is anyone else actually thinking that an average of nearly 32 games a season in the Premier League between 2003 - 2008 isnt actually too bad? after that helping Birmingham get promoted , then Derby and we know what happened after that! The seasons before breaking into the bolton first team are irrelevant arent they? Dont get me wrong, he has had a mare so far. But i do think he must have something there to work with. After all, thats what coaches and managers are ment to do, get the best out of the players they have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying but where is the evidence that he actually WANTS to do well since he's been here? For all the flak he's received I actually do think that when picked Damion Stewart is giving his best and whilst he is undoubtedly slow, he has at least contributed to the side on occasions, I just don't see any of this with Hunt. I don't buy this he's suddenly injured stuff, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petehinton Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 if Hunt were to never play for us again for x,y or z i'd rather Millen come out and say 'he's not in my plans' or 'he's not needed' instead of saying he's injured, where Hunt can turn around to the press and say he wasn't, if/when he's at a new club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't buy this he's suddenly injured stuff, either. I can see what you are saying. I think his body language doesnt help with these perceptions either. He has that steve mcmannaman/chris waddle look about him. But i still believe given a run of games in a good team he would do ok. For me, at the start of the season he wasnt fit and we were awful (which i appreciate, he was a part of). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhistleHappy Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 wasn't there a rumour going round that Coppell told Millen to try and sign Noel Hunt for him but Millen got the wrong one? theres no truth in that one although I do believe there may well have been a bit of a mix-up prior to us signing him, it went something like: Bolton: 'psst, hey you Coppell...' Coppell: 'yeah?' Bolton : 'so you in the market for a full- back?' Coppell: 'we could do with one yeah' Bolton jokingly says: 'dont suppose you'd be interested in taking Mike Hunt off me hands would ya?' Coppell: misshears & (to Boltons suprise & delight ) says ' yeah, that'll be great, send him down, cheers' the rest is history .. & the moral is - 'it takes one to know one!'
