Class player looks like he's settled now.
Nmecha
For the first time this season we had a centre forward/ striker/ target man , call it what you will.
And what a difference it made.
He played a great game today, the boy came of age.
+1.
+ another.
Played well,
Needs to stop feigning injury.
Along with 90% of professional footballers.
He's hardly unique with that trait.

Man of the match by a country mile. My memory ain’t great but I cannot remember a better performance from a North End centre forward in this division in the last ten years.
Does he look skillfull ? I'm glad he's starting to come good

Looked really pissed when Gallagher insisted on taking the pen.
Didn’t notice anything in the way he was walking but you wouldn’t want him to take a penalty if he’s been drinking. Good decision by Paul I think.

Yes , but if you read between the lines it ain’t as praiseful as first thought (we spent 3 years in the division below for example)
We needed an experienced hand to close the game. Correct decision for me. He'll notch soon I'm sure.
Great to hear he played so well. Gutted I couldn't watch and haven't even been able to find highlights yet (Sky Sports highlights won't play over here). Let's hope his new found form continues and we rise up the league!
Just watched the highlights again and I noticed as the team came on the pitch he was looking around and clapping the crowd. Quite a difference in his body language and demeanour.
Felt quite sad for him when it could clearly be seen him asking " Let me take it please" ?
correct decision by Gally though.

Agree.
If the penalty had come at 3-0, then maybe Gallagher could have acquiesced to let Nmecha take it - it would have done his confidence the world of good to score, and his performance yesterday deserved a goal. At just 2-0, however, it was the right decision for Gallagher to take it.
I'm glad we have that respect and organisation for and from a senior pro from the less experienced players.
After he scored Gallagher went over to Nmecha and had a word in his ear which I am sure was some good advice or reassurance.Agree.

Yeah I saw that. Seemed to be along the lines of ‘your time will come’. It was absolutely the right thing for Gally to take it and it was a nice touch from Gally to put the arm round and have a gentle word. Well dealt with.
