Sam Gallagher expressed his frustration following his delayed debut for Stoke City. The summer acquisition from Blackburn Rovers had been sidelined due to a calf injury since pre-season, missing out on valuable playtime. After finally returning to full training under new head coach Narcis Pealch, Gallagher made his first appearance off the bench in a challenging match against Middlesbrough.
While glad to be back on the pitch, Gallagher lamented the circumstances of his debut and the missed opportunities for team bonding. Despite the setback, he remains hopeful about Stoke’s progression under Pelach, emphasizing the team’s positive attitude and commitment to the coach’s vision for the future.
Looking to improve his performance and contribute more aggressively on the field, Gallagher acknowledges the need for consistency and a united effort towards the club’s goals. Though disappointed by missed chances, he remains determined to make a significant impact and play a crucial role in Stoke’s development.
