Sigurdsson on. Please please please put the effort in.

[grinder]

Gallagher is an athlete for sure but so was Usain bolt - having said that his defensive work is good - maybe he should convert to cb bit like cloughie did with Kenny burns... Mind burns was a decent cf... 

[benhben]

Was it calf that Gallagher was out for monthe with?

Yes but there are other important roles to play also in this young team 

For a striker I would argue there is no more important role?

Sadly he is paid to score goals

I'd be ok with his goal return if he could hold the ball up, but he doesn't even do that. 

That said, we'll miss him in our box this half. 

[Blue blood]

Gally has many, many limitations but we are far weaker without him on. Not sure Sig will have the same presence or work rate as Gally or be as useful defensively. Not saying Gally hasn't been frustrating but I'd prefer that to non existent. 

[Old Codger]

I think we will miss Gallagher at set pieces

[joey_big_nose]

Fucking hell Sigurdsson is just jogging about while everyone is pressing

FFS, surely he can’t be injured again. We are getting half a season out of him, if we are lucky 🙈

[OldEwoodBlue]

The Cup is about romance.

You don't bring a lazy once every 10 game showpony on.

Get the fucking German lad on.

Gallagher off. Thank feck

He's better than anyone else we have to put on - and if he's injured again we're stuffed.

he`ll be sold in the summer,biggest earner at the club off the wage bill

[WacoRover]

Buckley… close

[roverandout]

Buckley to be sold in summer for 10 million 

[RTM08]

If Brittain and Dolan were just a fraction quicker we'd have had a few more opportunities here.

[Tugayisgod]

Buckley finally looking the player we all hoped he would be. Absolute class tonight

Maybe he needs to be “the man”

[roverandout]

The ref is an absolute bellend

[Displaced Rover]

Brittain has been atrocious. Constantly giving it away at both ends of the pitch 

[WacoRover]

Ref, you baboon 

[Exiled_Rover]

This ref is actually a disgrace. 

[Miker]

Brittain has had a really poor game today

[WacoRover]

Unreal battle in the box. Great work, lads
