Totally agree.

Has made a few silly mistakes that have resulted in goals and nearly did today, but he is obviously a very good footballer who could turn out to be a brilliant signing. I would like to see to BBM try him out in midfield in the role that Chambers had last season. At Peterborough in the cup maybe?

Interesting that he throws his arm around around Osho, yet says Robertson needs to up his intensity to get a game! Seems a glaring contradiction there.
I still say Robertson will be away in January.

But that could be a case of players attitude. The 1 wanting to do well but just low on confidence. The other not giving a toss to manager etc.
Not a contradiction if not having full story

He's shocking, keep him practising back passes until Christmas, and then give him another game then if we are a ten points clear at the top.

Maybe osho works hard and Robertson doesn’t.

Some people need an arm around them & some need a swift kick up the arse, a good manager of people in any business knows this & acts accordingly while some just have no idea.

I don’t disagree with the above comments as such. But BBM has consistently said he’s fully fit and available, and he’s committed etc. those comments being genuine don’t say he’s not training or has attitude.
Just doesn’t ring true to me.

Osho is really low in confidence atm but will come good .
Every player goes through these spells when everything seems to go wrong he just needs to play through it .I would play him Saturday to give him the belief in his ability that he most surely has in abundance :ayatollah:

Osho is a solid defender, but his lack of composure on the ball is a constant issue. The moment he receives a pass under pressure, he panics, leading to poor decisions and high turnovers.

Frankly, he's a defender who'd thrive in a purely pragmatic, direct system (a "Warnock team") where he just defends first.

We have much better options for playing out:

Fish and Lawlor: Calmest on the ball, consistently effective at managing pressure.

Chambers: More reliable and makes fewer high-leverage passing errors than Osho.

It's a huge liability in a team trying to play a modern, passing game.
