Recalled by West Ham having had minimal impact & little playing time for a poor side.
I am not surprised. He didn’t have any impact since the move. Similar to his lack of impact at Lincoln.
While he’s a nice passer, he always seemed to me to lack the natural athleticism to make it at the top level in midfield. Let’s see if he can drop down a division or two to finish the season strongly on another loan, rather than dwindle at PL2 level. He’s at a crucial juncture of his career.
Heading to MKDons on loan now. Should see him get some more playing time. Could still be a solid longer term option as defensive midfield cover, at the moment he's probably fallen behind Kilkenny and is well behind Cullen now in the pecking order.
Nice to see him go well with MK Dons. MOTM in todays 2-0 win with Troy a close second. Up to 3rd in table.
Saw his game yesterday as they were playing my team Charlton, I do not think I am being biased, but he was MOM with a brilliant assist also, close behind was Troy, definitely now playing as an attacking midfielder, ran everywhere, in a good way, missed a one to one with the goalkeeper (Troy), when he made a brilliant run, ball lobbed through to him, but miscontrolled with only the keeper to beat. looking forward to seeing more of both.
Lovely little through ball. It must do something to highlight the gap between second and third tier though if his loan spell at Peterborough was ended early but he seems to be a hit at MK Dons. (There can be other factors too of course, but that should be one)
It's definitely one alright. The Championship is a tough league to play in and it's the strongest second tier league around. If it was a stand alone league it would probably rank high enough.
MK Dons as a team might suit his style better than Peterborough. There's also the fact his loan move happened at the last second so didn't get a pre season with his new team, which might have helped when playing for a team just promoted.
Hopefully we get to find out next season if MK Dons get promoted and he returns to them on loan. Compare him with Cullen and their careers look a bit similar. While Cullen had the season and a half at Bradford starting week in week out for a play off team, when he got the loan move to Bolton in the championship they dropped him after ten games and didn't renew his loan in January. Ended back up in League One next season with Charlton who went on to win the play offs. While Charlton got relegated their first season up he was starting week in week out for them.
Great to see - if he can continue to get minutes and Smallbone continues to establish himself at Stoke and if O'Dowda, Hendrick and Brady can get their careers back on track, then our midfield will start to look a little less threadbare
I don’t think we’ll ever see Brady in green againQuote:

Can't see Coventry getting much minutes at West Ham. Won't be too many matches this season where West Ham are out of the game so easily. And still only got a minute in a game that was over long before that.Quote:
