Well end product does count as weve seen with Dembele and Placheta with the odd goal and assist not nearly enough so MPH has to improve there, but MPH is a far better player than those two as it is.I'm amazed anyone wouldn't want to keep MPH permanently if we had the opportunity. Even if his form has tailed of slightly he still looks a proper Championship level footballer, he retains possession more often than not and physically he's a proper athlete. If we can get him to have a bit more conviction in front of goal then we'd have a real player.
Totally agree with this. He was the first one in January to come in and elevate the team. Donley and Konak have followed and if we could keep the three of them for next season, I’d be over the moon.MPH has arguably been the most impactful January signing. I’d argue Makosso goes close both for now he played when in the side but also what it’s brought out of Helik, but MPH is the one for me.
But MPH reminded us all what it was to take the ball and carry it with some level of composure and direction. And the physicality has brought a whole new dimension as the first half of the season was powderpuff to the extreme. He also gives us the long throw without having to carry Vaulks through a game.
A slight dip might coincide with some fatigue or maybe that we’ve reduced our reliance on him. For his first few games he was our sole outlet, giving him all opportunity to shine.
He’s got a very high ceiling and still relatively inexperienced for his age - he will get better with constant games. If we stay up, he’d be the first bit of transfer business I did.
Injury - should be back for next week's game. We missed him on the left side today.Not in the matchday squad. Injury? Or just fatigue?

You are Nick Harris and I claim my £5Very much so.

Seen MPH play 15 games for us now, and I'm still not exactly sure what to make of him as a player.
You can tell he's been through one of the top academies - a bit like McGuane, his technique is good and he's clearly had a bunch of training in maintaining possession. He's reasonably quick and reasonably strong but neither is impressive enough to be a calling card on its own. He's got decent defensive instincts as well......but then at other times, he comes off as way too casual, especially with his final ball or attempts at goal. Only the one goal and no assists since he joined.
Getting the sense that he's a good player, but not nearly as good as he thinks he is. I was impressed that he backed himself with a short term prove it deal in January, but I doubt very much that he's done enough with us to move up in the world next year. Unless he has a big end to the year, I suspect he's looking at League One next season or someone like Lincoln at best......(would we want to keep him if we stayed up......maybe, but only at a reasonable wage as a squad player)
I bet he’s off somewhere big but not good. Like West Brom, where he can fanny about with impunity.If yesterday didn't totally confirm his departure, the club has reposted his goodbye message on social media.
Where have you seen that?If yesterday didn't totally confirm his departure, the club has reposted his goodbye message on social media.
Yeah, he’s gone and I’m not sad about it, the hype is far better than the reality.If yesterday didn't totally confirm his departure, the club has reposted his goodbye message on social media.
I mean, it could have been a sincere nod to his time at the club, and how he has felt like he has been made to feel like part of it while he has been here.Which makes the patting of badge etc for his last goal ridiculous.
Probably realised that he needed to keep himself injury free for a better opportunity!Had a really good start, before slowing right down to being almost unplayable.
Some of his away performances in February were among the best of any individual this season, and particularly against Leicester, kept us in the survival hunt longer than we could have been otherwise

I wasn't hugely impressed with him, but for some reason he was often played as a left winger.
Whatever he might be, it isn't that and it didn't do him much good career-wise.
