Alex Hurst

[TheSage]

It's early days still but he has done really well and adapted far better than a lot of young players do. 

I'm delighted for him.

His does seem able to be able to pick out a pass and looks a bright prospect. 

A ray of sunshine in these frustrating times.

The good thing about Hurst is that he seems to be versatile,looks capable of playing as a number 10 or in midfield as well,could be a real find,i like him

[Biddulph_PV]

I’ve been impressed with him. Just needs to build up his fitness, but his willingness to run at his man and, on the vast majority of occasions, actually deliver some end product, are the things that have really stood out. In the side on merit and the thought of having Monty behind him at LB is quite an interesting one.

Like that when he cuts back onto his right foot he can still get in a decent cross.

Also, his long ball for Mills to control, but miss, near the end was superb.

A wish Hurst all the best. But I've not seen a L2 player in him. 

Has Hursty managed to win over his critics?

This one, yes.

I hope that fortune changes soon for him with regard to the effort and quality that he is producing in creating some superb scoring opportunities. By that I mean imagine his confidence if even 1 in 3 of these opportunities were converted,  but unfortunately we have no notable  end product quality in the team to stick them away. 

Seems a promising lad who is capable of terrorising full backs the more he plays.

I felt he'd make it before but he has exceeded expectations.  Sill feel he'll settle into a midfield position eventually. When Worrall is fit it will be interesting to see what they do with him. I think he would add more than either Burgess or Whitehead on current form.

Can he defend??

He's played fullback more than anywhere else while on loan at Bradford PA. Certainly not afraid to put a tackle in.

He’s made a very steady start. We’re actually well of for personell in those wide positions (Hurst, Monty, Fitz, Amoo, Worrall) bar right fullback, though Gibbons + Smith isn’t too bad.

Imho, Hurst is the only one of those who can consistently cross a decent ball. All of the others very hit and miss, particularly monty and Worrall

Is that the Worrall who’s second in all four divisions for assists?

[werstayinup]

It would be nice to see Hurst rewarded with a new contract this month

[Andy Proctor]

Worrall has 14 assists for the calender year only de bruyne 15 has more and bruno Fernandes has 14 too. Worrall has 9 assists for this season so he must be doing something right.

Yep - that's the same guy!

What a player worth 15 million already ,I said Morsy was going be a good player we should have got good coin for him ,did we i do not think we did .

Get him signed up ,along with Conlon and Rodney and Worrall our most saleable assets ,all worth good coin for the Vale ,I wouldn't let any of them go for less than a million as for Smith still waiting for him to show he is a saleable asset be lucky get 50 grand for him UTV so he needs improve can he cause he can and get Vale good coin
