Ben Osborn

Bearing in mind what happened to Luton, Burnley, Villa - i thought we held it together pretty well.

Hammering Osborn/Basham in what will likely be the only game they start this season is ridiculous to the point of parody. Grown men can't seriously look at what's going on at the club and take their frustration on two grizzled pros who consistently put in 6/10 performances.

Osborn particularly seems to be a lightening rid for some people. I've only ever seen him put in solid displays. I reckon he's fantastic to have in the squad, at the training ground, in the dressing room.

I'd disagree with you that whilst Osborn seems a nice lad and runs around a lot, he shouldn't be anywhere the first team. Not in the Premier League and not in the Championship. It was as bizarre as keeping Fleck on to keep Osborn. But we are where we are and i guess we just need to get used to playing with 10 men.

Bash, i've no problem with

[232 Bramall Lane]

The goal conceded was appalling.
Lowe should have doubled up once it was clear that Ayew was going outside and ffs why didn't Osborne stick a leg out to block the cross.
Then of course the Central defenders were sleeping.
