The verdict 

Blackburn have proven to possess a strong forward line this season, with every player who has been trusted in the starting XI, in attacking positions, having all contributed thus far. 

Having Gallagher back in the side adds an extra element of competition and Tony Mowbray will be hopeful that it will only drive performance levels as the season progresses. 

Gallagher's direct running and physicality adds another dimension to Blackburn's attack play and should stand them in good stead in what remains of the campaign. 

Gallagher has also displayed his goalscoring tendencies ever since he first put on a Rovers shirt, with that potentially being key if Ben Brereton Diaz departs in January.
