A couple of weeks ago put a thread on saying we should get rid of Gally at the end of the season, have to hold me hand up to say I was wrong, his experience is invaluable and also when he plays we actually do tend to win more games than we lose, so another contract please for our Number 12
 
At this level he can deliver quality balls in as shown yesterday.

Against him is that he seems to be picking up injuries more frequently.

If the manager wants him for another year in this league I will not be disappointed. If he leaves then good luck to him.

Perhaps a one year deal might not appeal.
 
Anybody who thinks Gally isn't good enough or fit enough ie Bolton away and yesterday wants there f-----g head reading.
 
One year for me. He's getting to the age when his body won't always be able to take the knocks that are prevalent in this league. Would be good as a super sub from say the 70 minute point.

It’s probably not a case of him being fit enough or even good enough. Most people can see he has easily got another season in him at least. The problem probably lies with his demands. He’ll know doubt want wages similar to what he’s on now but Preston are probably thinking (due to his age) he’s probably not worth keeping as one of the clubs highest earners. I guess it will depend on whether we still see him worthy as being one of the highest earners.
 
I wasnt impressed in fist half yesterday but bloody hell did he step up in the 2nd.
 
AN will probably bring in someone in the summer to play in the midfield two alongside Pearson, he might go in for Ledson again or persue someone else which will obviously limit Gallys chances in the first team next season, but I would extend his contract by a year and use him as an impact sub in the last 20 minutes or so.

And you’d pay him 10k a week (or whatever he’s on) to do that?
 
Gally isn't the sort of player who makes more of a difference against tired legs or as an impact sub. If we keep him for a reasonable wage, then he should be dictating the tempo of a game for 60 minutes or so, and then let someone with fresh legs take over.

Once we get rid of the fringe players like Doyle,Pringle,Welsh,O'Connor and Vermajil etc, we'll be more than capable to afford Gally for another year

The other factor is what division we will be in next year. But either way I don't think more than 12 months beyond this season is warranted because you can see the beginnings of Gallagher starting to get that bit more injury-prone and it would be sad if his career with us fizzled out in anti-climax as if we are honest that of Welsh has done. Also both Johnson and Harrop will you hope continue to develop and both should increasingly become capable of stepping up to provide the guile that Gallagher does at the moment.

Tbf he is not the only one picking up injuries this year.

I also read somewhere gally said he has played virtually every game carrying some kind of injury since he was 19.
