Bunney is an enigma.

If I was the manager tomorrow, Id tell him straight...'you are going nowhere, we will review the situation in January. You've got one year left on your contract, we need a left sided player who can cross the ball. You will compete for either a wing back position or left side of midfield'.

Under the right guidance, I reckon he could be brilliant for us next season if used correctly. And negates the necessity to bring in a left sided reinforcement.

If we were to get an offer in the meantime, to recoup the fee paid, then fair enough, sell, If he doesn't really want to be here. But I see zero point in sending him out on loan, given that in a years time he would become a free agent in any case. We'd be better off playing him, with a view to reviewing the situation in January. Unless he's a bad influence, which I very much doubt is the case.

Back to rumours...Hamilton Academical striker Mickel Miller

Hamilton Academical striker Mickel Miller is attracting the attention of a trio of EFL clubs, as reported by the Grimsby Telegraph.

The 23-year-old bagged five times in the SPFL last season and has fallen onto the radar of AFC Wimbledon, as well as League Two duo Sc***horpe United and Northampton Town.

Also agree. Find some of the attitudes towards bunney very strange. He played 12 games for us. Most of them in a position he had never played before. People need to ask why he is playing regulary at a higher level than we are. If he does stay then give the guy a chance.

according to wiki he played less than half the games last season - is that regular?

i find it hard to believe he had never played left back.

also, you still need to be able to defend as a wing back - he cant - he also isnt that quick and he is too lightweight.

other than that, definitely keep him - not wasting a wage at all!

waters - 1st touch of an elephant - bin him off too.

He had never played left back and has never since. I forgot that all our wing backs last season were really good defenders. Powell, Hoskins, waters and the other load that were tried there.

Shame he was crap defensively which a must have quality for defenders.

IMO His issues defensively were more to do with a lack of understanding of the role he had been asked to perform rather than a lack of ability. After he had had a few shakey moments 4-5 games into his spell the crowd turned on him, it was shocking and it's little wonder his game began to suffer.

they weren't - i think that's probably why you have backed up my point whilst trying to make a witty counter argument.

He’s the name I heard when I was told about Hall-Johnson

Bunney missed a lot of games due to injury last season.

He had played at left back roughly 40 times before joining us, but how many of those were as a wing-back, which is how he was used by JFH, I  don't know.

Before that he had played as a left and sometimes right winger and also as a centre forward, which up to 2-3 years ago were his specialist positions.

I would have much rather have had him playing left back/wing back than either of Buchanan or Powell last season that's for sure.

Having said that, even though I think he could be excellent for us next season, he could be on a fair wage and if he was sold it may free up funds for 2 more players.

Waters' touch is decent enough for L2 IMO, and he's got a better footballing brain than Hoskins as well. He lacks the physical qualities KC wants though IMO, so I expect him to move on.

No he wasn’t played mainly as a wing back by JFH . Bizarrely he was played as a left back and when we converted to wing backs he played Buchanan instead .

Perhaps my recollection is incorrect, but I'm sure Bunney was used as a wing back in at least some matches and he certainly didn't feature again once JFH had been sacked.

One out for this to happen? Seems nonsense to me.

Curle in the Chron says we need one, maybe two CB's. Says to me that Jay Williams is getting a starting role if that is the case.

Wouldn’t be unhappy with J Williams getting more of a look in, also hoping that maybe we go for a back 4, I know people have said Adams played wing back for Carlisle but I don’t see it working well.

It's hardly a surprise that Bunney failed to settle when he had people of questionable intellect chanting "Bu-Bu-Buchanan" during games.

Exactly. Well, we conceded an average of 1.3 goals a game with Bunney in the team and 2 goals a game for the remainder of the season after Buchanan was bought back into the fold. That reminds me, has Buchs found another league club yet?

It’s not just Bunney; it’s several other players as well like Hoskins,Cornell and  vV; others too! KvV is an interesting one; harangued  by many at the end of relegation season. Then as the last season progressed there was a dramatic change in opinion. However the abusive comments are from the usual few suspects! Would vV have stayed if the abuse was less vociferous and above all repetitive? Please

When have Hoskins or Cornell received booing and abuse anything like Bunney did in his first short spell? KVV and Taylor received a little bit, but not at the level that Bunney received.

When have Hoskins or Cornell ever been quite as bad as Joe was in his brief spell as left back? The 'abuse' you talk of will always be proportionate to the perceived ineptitude displayed and Joe put in some truly shocking performances.
