Gabriel Osho:
“The feeling in the changing room is good. I think we could’ve all been a bit worried after we lost to Midtjylland by six!
“Since then I think we’ve just been gradually getting better, so it was a good test today against a really good team, so we’re just happy to win.
“You feel more settled with time, so I’m happy to be here. I was happy last year, it was a tough start, but I’m looking forward to this season.
“It’s going to be a tougher test this season but I came here to get promoted from League One and then push on from this league as well, so I’m excited.
“There’s still things to work on, and that’s what pre-season games are for. I’m sure we’ll look back over it on Monday, what we could’ve done better. Sometimes we’re going to get it wrong when we want to be as brave as we’ll be playing, but you just hope that 97% of the time we go and win the ball like we did high up the pitch and score goals like we did.
“What you love as a player are challenges, so we’re going to see them. It’ll be a good first league game against Wrexham, obviously it’ll be a good game against Swindon Town first, but in terms of the league it’s a tough first game. Everyone is just excited.”

No secret that I'm a big fan of Osho.
He received some criticism last season (some of it fairly) for mistakes he made. But he did also have some good games.
I think he'll have a good season for us, he knows this league. He is also more settled at the club now and in my opinion, is a physical centre back - which will always do well in this league. Also great at carrying the ball.

I know it was only a friendly but I thought Osho was superb today.

I criticised him last season at the start he dropped some big b.ll.x but he has pushed on and looked like he did for luton ,and he was my man of the match today.

Really good outing for him today
Hopefully will see the player he cam be this season

The exter away game was the one for me he was outstanding that game and convinced me he would nail down a starter spot from then on

Glad he had a good game in front of the home crowd as he made mistakes last season all at home but he was great when we played away maybe he had got rid of those nearves he may have had at home

Absolutely outstanding today .Quality distribution and reading of the game

Osho is fine with time on his hands ,not so fine we'll pressed .
BBM needs to chose the opposition that suits his positive nature of his game or play him as a holding midfielder?

I like Osho, he's a decent player who I am sure wants to improve. But also he has a positivity about him that will bleed into some of the younger players.
I thought he was brutally honest with himself and the press after a poor start but hopefully his confidence is growing as we move forward. Top man.

I'm a fan of osho yes he made mistakes so have the best centre half's in the world he will come good great signing in my veiw

I thought he was excellent today in reading the game and intercepting or winning the ball when required. He will do well this season and his honesty is refreshing.

Had a tough start to life at CCFC but hopefully that's behind him now.
Knows what it takes to be promoted from the Championship and his experience will be vital to what will be a predominantly young side.
Seems like a very cheerful and positive kind of guy too!
Hope he has a great season.

I thought he wasn't fully match fit when he came and tried to do too much and got caught out way too many times. Not sure teaming him with Chambers is his best partner, as both are a little undersized against big "9"'s, but i like him with Lawlor

He was excellent again today. Own goal not really his fault, it was just unfortunate.

I'd try him In a sitting midfield role in fron of a back four ,he has balk carrying skills .

That's not a bad call, the only problem being is we are short on centre backs. Whichever way you cut it we need more bodies in the club.
