Osho this season compared to last

Sat Sep 19, 2026 1:48 pm

No secret that I'm a fan of Osho when others have fair doubts.

Personally this season I think he looks far more switched on. Maybe he thought last season that he was better than League One.

Accept he made the mistake in the first game but other than that has done well.

Probably at fault for the Charlton goal, but all in all much better this season than last.

And home game before when he failed to get the keeper to pick the ball up resulting to the other team poking the ball into our net but other than this he is fine

Quite impressive to get Bagan and Osho confused

Spot on. Last season he probably wasn't tested enough - he seemed to be chuckling half the time. He and Beilik are our best CB pairing at the moment in my opinion.

To be fair osho was way to the left when Mr trott who can only save a ball as that's all he good at who then done some usual shit distribution pass to NG who was stretching 10 ft to keep it in on the touchline.

The ball then dropped to the Charlton midfielder who slotted it through as both center halfs was miles apart as that's what they do when we got the ball they split , obviously everyone else moved up but Bagan stayed abit behind so there player run the line of him to stay outside. Osho had a decent game in my opinion.

Trott was the worst player on the pitch for me somehowm his distribution is dogshit and has no urgency to leave or run with any thing over the top that's 100 percent his ball, he's a hesitating mess at times then back peddles. I expect him to make saves that's his job but for me that's all he can do imo.

I like Trott but I agree, he was off it today.

Osho I thought has looked quite comfortable and done well in a lot of 1 on1 situations this season. Seems a good partnership forming with beliek

I agree, Osho has definitely improved this season, and he was faultless against Bolton last week.

He still has the occasional mistake in him, stepping out at the wrong time today, the first goal against Wrexham, etc. But those mistakes seem to be becoming less frequent.

He has excellent pace, which gives us something none of our other CBs have.

If he keeps improving his decision-making, we've got some excellent options at CB.

I’m not a fan of Osho. I want to be. But today I thought he did well and out of the two CBs that started the game, was the better.

I like him but his general awareness is lacking sometimes, I don't think that's changed from last year

Re: Osho this season compared to last

I’ve always liked him and was surprised when he got so much stick when he first joined us.

Yes he made a couple of terrible mistakes but it takes different players longer than others to settle. You could always see he was a good player. I like his pace and the way he brings the ball out of defence.

But … he still makes me skip a beat occasionally like the one time today!

His passing is pretty good but always has a disaster in him. At times looks like he has 2 left legs.

Correct !!

Bagan was at fault for that one and the Bolton winner, defensively he hasn’t improved since last time he was in the Championship but he’s one of those who can do no wrong in some people’s eyes !!

But back to Osho, he’s looking good to me. He does get you a bit nervous at times but he’s got good pace and can certainly pick a pass so fits in with the BBM philosophy perfectly.

In fairness to Bagan he was by far our best defender and then gave two away in two games

He was partially at fault for yet another soft goal, switching off, ball watching and not being aware of the man around him.

It reminded me of the Wrexham goal when he didn't get out quick enough to play Moore onside. He has concentration lapses, not switching on and it costs us.

We will always concede soft goals with Osho on the pitch and I breathed a sigh of relief when Lawlor came on.
