Reading travel to the Liberty to take on Swansea City with the home side out for revenge after their worst afternoon of the season back in September – they crashed 4-0 at the Madejski and Hunt was on the scoresheet.<\/p>\n
But the striker is expecting a tougher test this time around and knows several of the Swansea team including his old lodger Tom Butler.<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Reading Evening Chronicle, Hunt said \u201cI know a few of the Swansea lads,<\/p>\n
\u201cI played against Jason Scotland, I know Dorus De Vries in goal and one of my closest mates is Tommy Butler on the right wing.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe played for the Irish Under 21s together and he was up in Dunfermline for a stint when he left Sunderland. He lived with me for seven or eight months, it was a good crack, he\u2019s a great lad. We missed him when he left but that\u2019s football.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was good banter the last time we met. I haven\u2019t seen him since that game so hopefully we can do it again, it will be sweet.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think I was too harsh on him, he\u2019s a good lad. We didn\u2019t give them time to play and we need to repeat that on Saturday.<\/p>\n
\u201cI scored the first goal that day with a header,\u201d recalled Hunt when looking back at the game in September. \u201cBut Swansea are a good side, they like to pass the ball and I\u2019m sure it will be a different game down there. We know how good they are at home and I\u2019m sure it will be a hard afternoon.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe sign of a good team is when you don\u2019t lose. They\u2019re no mugs, that\u2019s for sure. We need to approach this one carefully.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had a few big results over the last few weeks but nothing is as big as this one right now. It\u2019s a hard away game, one of the hardest in the league when you think about it. We need to go there and win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
