We all need to lay off criticising Osborn. His only problem is that he needs to become more tactically aware?

He now has better technical players around him so hopefully he will learn to see the options and passes he has when in possession rather than checking back and going sideways.

We also have a better coaching set up with Warbo and I think he will now mature if encouraged.

It does not help when we have no strong enforcers in midfield to enable him to play to this strengths and he has so try and cover too much ground?

Murphy will have had a word after Barnsley as he made space for Osborn to play him in on goal and he took the wrong option.

Stop trying to sell him on-line as this will be Osborn's season to shine!

Shine? No, I think he needs to prove his doubters wrong. Great industry but chances created means naff all if no goals. Score more yourself and be a universal fans favourite. 👍.

so are you saying he should start being greedy and stop being a team player and go for goal himself? is ben a goalscoring midfielder? i personally don't think he is he's a grafter that can create chances last season he grafted and created chances.

Osborn is by no means the weakest link. People should get off his back. If we had a decent captain and a strong DM the team would change overnight.

He is a good ball carrier and pressing midfielder who needs to become more aware of the options around him and release the ball quicker.

He missed the opportunity against Barnsley to play in Murphy for 2 clear cut goal opportunities because he had his head down and did not see the option.

He will improve with the team under Warbo.
