I do agree. However, his workrate against Southampton was superb, his closing down of their defenders and midfielders was key to our success that night and for me (in the minority!) was man of the match. He does need to be replaced, but does have his uses in the championship as a squad player.
Gallagher just doesn't do the good things often enough or consistently enough. He is one of those players that doesn't seem to have a position to play in. Not quite a striker, not quite a winger, not quite a midfielder, I would play him up front or not at all.
I wonder who everyone will hate in March?

Very difficult to call this game. Not much difference in quality amongst about teams a dozen teams in the division. Might be a narrow defeat based on long trip and fixtures congestion. But if NP freshens things up with a couple of changes we might pinch it.
I'll have a sneaky bet on Bamba.
