However, Tim Krul was reinstated as the starting goalkeeper at the beginning of the following Championship season. Gunn recently shared his feelings about this decision, admitting that he expected to be promoted to the number one spot after performing well in the Premier League. Despite his disappointment, Gunn remained patient and, after a mid-season dip, he was able to reclaim the starting position and perform well.
David Wagner briefly chose Tim Krul over Angus Gunn, but Gunn’s persistence paid off when he became the clear first-choice goalkeeper following Krul’s departure to Luton.

Despite being initially disappointed with the decision to bench him, Gunn acknowledged that learning from and competing with Tim Krul helped him grow as a player. The departure of the manager and the arrival of Dean Smith also forced Gunn to once again be patient and earn his place in the starting lineup.
