he is obviously one of Pearson's favourite, and one was the shittest player yesterday (the team was shocking as a whole). I don't understand why Pearson changed a winning team? I'm really baffled, and if it is because of his 'favourites' then it has lost us a play-off spot

He didn't change a winning team though, when Gallagher and King came on against ipswich, they completely changed the game.

He's a legend.

He will still be here next season. For me he is too lightweight to play in some games and tends to perform when the opposition suits his style of play. Yesterday he was never going to be effective, and you'd think NP would be wise to that by now.

I think he's a useful player to have around - but I wouldn't want him in the team week in week out as he's far more effective coming on towards the end of a game, or starting when the opposition isn't tinpot toughnut.

He didn't change a winning team, but it was clearly the wrong game for him to start in (and any other away game for that matter) so how the manager couldn't see that is worrying.

Urgh. Gallagher played the second half against Ipswich, and ultimately changed the game with a pin point cross. He also scored against Donny and looked good. Also, Drinkwater had a poor first half against Ipswich. So his decision was based on that. Why is it Pearsons fault that Gallagher didn't play well?

It's quite simple to understand why.

I'm no massive fan of Gallagher and King, I've said it enough times on here. But against Doncaster we were terrible, but our football did improve when King and Gallagher came on. Against Ipswich we only went in 1-1 at half time thanks to some shit goalkeeping, King and Gallagher came on at half time and were instrumental in us taking control in the second half and winning the game.

The "winning team" contained those two players. If Dyer and Drinkwater had been any cop in those games your post would be understandable. But they weren't, they were rather poor. Just as King and Gallagher were poor yesterday.

Did it work? No and the manager takes ultimate responsibility. But can you really sit there and say you don't understand why it was done? Or that you actually had confidence in the other two two get a different result going on their previous two performances?

It's so easy for people to jump on the Gallagher, Pearson and "favourites" bandwagon out of frustration. But it's seems clear to me why it was done.

Fed up of hearing about Gallagher, everyone knows my opinion on him.

As i always say, the stat for me is that he ahs scored in one away league game in his three seasons here so far.

Too lightweight espeically away from home.

ThurnbyLodgeFox obviously dislikes Gallagher, and was the shittest player yesterday (the team was shocking as a whole). I don't understand why ThurnbyLodgeFox started a new topic, I'm really baffled, and if it is because of his hatred then it has cost us another topics

A few Gallagher is shit Topics

1) Loads of Gally threads already

2) What are you smoking, it was the introduction of Gally & King at half-time that changed lacklustre first half against Ipswich in a winning 2nd half. So he actually effectively kept the winning team.

3) So why didn't you post about Gally then? Fickle?

The team hasn't looked the same since Danns suspension coupled with Wellens injury, King perhaps returning to soon as a result & Gally playing most of the season with a back injury.

It is not just Gallagher it's Wellens, Dyer, Howard etc the perennial deadwood

NP has replaced Gally & Wellens with Marshall & Drinky, the mix of the team would be different were it not for the previously excellent Danns' stupidity as the 7pts out 9 against teams above us showed, since then we've patched together a midfield out of injured players & even a centreback which saw us get crap results against teams we should have got something from.

Problems have happened all season regardless of who's played, defence leaks, midfield (except Danns+Wellens for a while) is over-ran and the forwards goal return in the league is a joke.

Gally is not, and never will be, a blood and guts type of player. Dropping long balls on him from 60-100 yards away is not how he plays the game or should be used. To get the most out of him he needs to have the ball at his feet facing goal, which in turn relies on others doing the donkey work for him and creating the space needed. The root cause of city's problems lie not with Gallagher being "lightweight", but with a midfield that isn't mobile enough, a front one (I'll excuse Nugent from this one) that is only interested in himself and doesn't occupy opposition defenders anywhere near enough and a back four and keeper that have a fear of crosses that Dracula would be proud of.

That said are wholesale changes required? Possibly. Will sacking the manager make any difference? Nope. Will abusing the players help? Definitely not.

I don't post on here very often, but having watched yesterdays dismal display I've felt the need to vent. Rant over. #COYB

This. Gally has his faults but he is also the midfielder with the biggest goal threat as his double figure goals tally again proves. The whole team from the keeper to the strikers has not been good enough. Gally has been no worse than many of the others this season -and at times has looked better than a lot of them.

He's scored in 2 league games, 2 penalties and 1 free kick though, no goals from open play.

Nige probably feels the same - and this is why he is a poor manager

Your evidence as to why Nigel should be sacked is based on your ability to read his mind... ok...

I hate the fact he walks back into the team whenever he is fit. He is not good enough, no pace, doesn't win any headers, doesn't get stuck in and gets knocked off of the ball to easy. Doesn't show any passion, and his only good attributes are set peices although they are not consistant or good enough either.

He isn't good enough for a team looking for promotion, and should be sold in my opinion.
