Quoted from Mariner_09
He played at centre half at Accrington and at home to Donny and was truly dire in both, especially Donny.


No he wasn't. Another player who got hammered for no discernible reason. I think it was because he was seen as a threat to Pearson and endorsed by Bignot, who also was unfairly criticised in my view. He wasn't Paul Futcher i grant you, but he was nowhere near as bad as people make out.

bignot deserved every inch of criticism aimed at him imo, i feel we would have headed straight back into non league with him at the helm but also felt gunning unfairly treated, never gave less than his best- which wasnt great, but nowhere near as bad as some on here say

Pure speculation. His record was quite good and he signed two of our best players in Jones and Osborne and possibly another in Asante, if he lives up to the billing. Still feel Bignot was treated a bit unfairly but never mind, it matters not now.

i thought he was actually getting better with games until that clash in the Wycombe game ended his run.
He was a step ahead of Akinfenwa all game.

You don't end up in the 2nd tier of Scottish football if there is not something suspect about either your ability or attitude, probably the latter with Gunning to be honest.

I always suspected he might possibly be clinically insane. He'll fit in well in Stoke-on-Trent.

I'm sorry but this Gunning bashing is out off order, he was played out of position, Mariner 09 says he was dire at AS, thats testicles he was rock solid, did you go to the game? because everyone around me said he was MOTM. Yes he was overweight and put some over the top challenges in ,but for me he wasn't halve as bad as some on here say,i remember the clearance from under our crossbar at 0-0 against Mansfield, that changed the game in my opinion ,I'm wondering who's this seasons scape goat will be. I believe it will be a centre half who's slated for every mistake by the Pearson is Bobby Moore reborn brigade.

Oi theres nowt wrong with us Stokies, I'll have you know... well OK theres loads wrong with us Stokies... I retract my first statement. I've got to say I'm having fun with this with all my Vale mates taking the urine out of the fact we signed Kelly, I'm having my own revenge right now


I don't mind Roy Keane making £60,000 a week. I was making the same when I was playing. The only difference was I was printing my own - Mickey Thomas

The area you are trying to protect at corners is the goal - Chris Kamara
