The only system Gallagher is suited for is beer league. Can’t win a header, can’t get into space, can’t control the ball. He does do a good job of tracking back, which is useless for a center forward.

Plan A always works. Never need anything different

The system does accommodate a #9 but does allow for left wing backs to play as right forwards.

We play with one striker (if you can call him that) out wide 6 defenders and 3 center kids…and we wonder why we can’t score

I’ll leave this right here. The foresight of Ray Charles. “We had opportunities, there were No.9s out there and the really interesting thing is that clubs are phoning us and asking if we want to take this player, Premier League clubs.” “They have to fit into the way we play, why would we sign a Premier League centre forward if we don’t play with a centre forward at this moment, and he can’t do the running of a wide striker, doesn’t chase full backs, so we’d be playing with nine men rather than 10 out of possession?” “Why when we’re doing so well at the moment would we throw that away and do something totally different?” “We tried to recruit players to fit the system.”

No way this side is promotion material.

C’mon lads get this in.

We’ve totally lost it when Buckley came off. He was at the heart of everything we created. Leave Gallagher on for what?

Why do we give the young players 5 min to make a difference. No chance to get into the game

Should be Pickering off, Giles to wing back. Dolan on. Vale will probably get a chance with 3 min left.

Somehow Gallagher played that backward. If he just stands there it would nick off him and go in.

FFS!

He’d be better at the left out position.

This is a crazy idea but why not play him in the wing where we have non wingers playing?

Because when we sell BBD and don’t replace him, Gally will be our only recognized forward. Recognized a incapable but recognized none the less

Needs another month to learn how to play our style. Our style apparently is wasteful in the final 3rd.

When AA was sold he was to be replaced in the summer. Then in January. It’s blatantly obvious even with BBD we are missing up front. No different than 2 seasons ago when we were told defenders are coming and we had a makeshift back line with a 40 year old playing left back. Not bringing in an attacking option in January has train wrecked our season.

Yeah but now we sub one off we have no one to fill in if there’s an injury.

It’s the one thing we all seem to agree on.

Giles looks out of sorts on the right side. Why he’s on the right and Gallagher is on the left is a mystery

He’s had a shocker of a career

Can’t be surprised. We have a front 3 that consists of a left wing back on the right, a center forward at left wing and a midfielder playing as our center forward. And the one whose least likely to score is the one who’s a recognized forward.

After international break I’d guess

Actually quite well controlled by his standard

Ringing endorsement from the Gaffer about Gally…”He was very delicate, we had a conversation and his reaction told me that a fit Sam Gallagher was going to be a better option than a 40 or 50 per cent Reda Khadra.” why we handed out a new contract to someone is considered to be just better than another player at 50% is beyond me.
