Leicester City's Craig Shakespeare praises Paul Gallagher's attitude

“Gally is still a good player, you did not see him with his head down and will fight all the way to get back in contention which he has done, nice bloke, has time for fans, I seen him at Frankie & bennys with his family had time to speak to anybody and everybody, nothing seems too much bother, great to have him back”

“gallys that good you shipped him out onloan shaky . then signed mid park players . nuff said .”

“Wishing the team all the best for the weekend, have a great one all. Another 6 – 1 would be nice eh? : )”

“"if Andy King gets the shout"..............................for goodness sake !!!!!!”

“Gally is trying like hell to get back into the reckoning and like all bit part players tries too hard to impress by attempting the world class passes whilst trying to recover his match fitness and touch in a competitive environment.

We cannot afford to have too many forward-only midfield players in the team at any one time.

Knocky gets the free role deservedly and when he remembers tracks back in defence. If Knocky Gally and Danns were to play in the same team along with Dyer and Marshall, our defensive record could be blown in one game, as our protection of the defence would be non-existant.

Gally and Danns can only be squad players at best now that we have set out to play with width and so long as Knocky stays with the club. If Knocky continues to delight with his undoubted skill and unpredictability, and his decision-making improves as it did last Tuesday, James has been used to provide the defensive midfield cover for Knocky recently and it has worked.

So Gally and Danns can only fit the shape if Knocky is out, and i****** gets the shout over James.”

“Yes its great to see Gally again and he could do good job for the lesser lights of the Championship (florist, sheep lol). But he is no more than a squad player at City, and needs to move on for himself and to allow our youngsters to have a chance off the bench when the opportunities present themselves as they did aainst Huddesfield. Thanks for the good times Gally and all the work in the dressing room which can go unnoticed”

“I said the same about a car once when I wanted to sell it. Come on shakes get real you kid noone”

“A nice pat of the back to keep Gally sweet, and hopefully draw a couple of good performances out of him in January, with a view to getting an offer for him. Harsh but probably realistic. The guy has done well for us and I wish him well, but he is not going to get many games here now. Whilst he is not past it yet, at his age it is not going to do his head any good watching younger guys being picked ahead of him. He needs to be playing every week.”

“'The odd goal' ??? Ten last season when dealing with family tragedy. The Chelsea game? Asked to play by the club while injured. Did and was nowhere near as poor as some claim. He will NEVER win over the 'get stuck in' brigade. Some of you will soon be moaning about Knochaert (Too clever by half. One trick too many, I've already seen on these posts). Gally's no spring chicken now and all players leave in the end. I've enjoyed his Beckhamesque crossing (no laughing please) and sure-shooting and will miss him when he's gone. One of City's more skilful footballers, at least when he crosses it goes where it's meant. 'Tougher' players stop goals, they don't make them.”

“Yep, Shakey - I haven't forgotten what Gallagher is capable. Watch the rerun of his gutless performance against Chelsea in the FA Cup and you'll remember it, too. The odd goal from a dead ball isn't enough. The midfield needs backbone, not showponies in fancy footwear.”
