Amakhosi host Black Leopards tomorrow at FNB Stadium in a DStv Premiership clash hoping to register what would be only their second win in the league so far.
Blom, a regular for Chiefs under the new regime, has said the competition for places is tough because of what Hunt demands from his squad.
"I am happy with how the guys performed and I think we are going to give it our best on Wednesday – we are going to work hard because everyone wants to secure their place in the team because we have a new coach.
"He can bring on any player at any given time, so the guys want to secure their place. I think we are ready to go again on Wednesday based on the fact that the coach has spoken to us about how we should handle ourselves."
Amakhosi progressed to the play-off round of the CAF Champions League group stages at the weekend after beating Cameroon outfit PWD Bamenda 1-0 on aggregate.
But their domestic form has been worrying.
"I think we are confident, not highly confident – but a good sort of confident. We displayed a very good performance against the team from Cameroon, although the results didn't come the way we wanted them to. We wanted to win home and away, but managed to beat them away and not at home," explained Blom.
Chiefs are still nine points behind log leaders Mamelodi Sundowns and have their catch-up game against Leopards tomorrow.
But they still have some way to go if they want to be in the title race.
