Hogan Ephraim

Just think that no matter how Hogan has been treated by other managers - in and out the side, going out on loan, never getting a decent run - the guy would have every right to sulk and say "Sod this, I'm leaving" like some Prima donnas would.

The fact he has never complained and just got his head down and got on with it is a credit to such a young guy and he deserves praise and respect for that.

Not saying that 6 goals against lesser opposition makes him a a Galactico who's gonna tear up this league but for his effort and determination, I'd rather him with us in our squad then some others, supposedly more mature professionals, who's attitude and application absolutely suck. Even when they are being picked.

Fair play to him for that and I hope his hard work pays off because he certainly deserves it. The fact that he is actually giving his all in such "meaningless games against pub sides" shows the character he is and for that reason I'd keep him.

If we has played the likes of Brentford, Bristol City, Newcastle and Everton and Ephraim had been scoring and playing well, then I would have agreed

Lets no be silly! I could score a hatrick against Bentford and be substituted with 85 to go!
