Just to throw something else into the Harper is great mixer.
After Plymouth 3 years ago I left the game dissapointed but relatively happy. I said to they guy I'd watched the game with something along the lines of: "I'm actually fairly confident, we may have lost, but Harper was putting in a few tackles so we must be in for a good season"
This season I've seen him get stuck in to tackles more than he used to in both games. I still think he had a decent game against Forest, if mainly defensively and he improved on that to good if not better against Plymouth.
I agree with Drew. If he goes we'll have an up and down season and finish on the edge of the play offs at best, unless we do really really well with a replacement. To be honest, Harper would be my first midfielder on the team sheet and captain replacement for Murty when he retires. AND thats despite really liking Matejovsky as a player and have high high hopes for Karacan.
