Ben Osborn

[Carlton Blade]

Lots of talk of moving players on, contracts running down etc. Osborn is a valuable squad player and pretty much a starter now. His contract expires in the summer.

Would you offer him a new one?

Yes his versatility has a decent amount of value to us.

 

[Roygbiv]

I'd certainly be offering him one above all the others that run out in the next few years. Excellent squad player and whilst he's possibly not good enough to start every week In a promotion side but he offers much more than most of the squad.

 

[blades14]

Can see him going to someone like Burnley

 

[Digger]

He deserves a new contract IMHO. I do want him replaced by an out and out winger but he'd be a very good squad member.

Would you offer him a new one?

Depends on his wage, he's a decent championship player and more of a goal threat than the £40m worth of strikers sat on the bench last night but I wouldn't keep him if his wages are high

 

[Nagima]

Attitude and work rate are good. Ability wise he is ok and as a squad player yes I would keep him.

Would you offer him a new one?

I'd be happy if he stayed but not on big money. To put it in Football Manager terms he should be considered a squad rotation player if we're in the Championship and backup if we're in the Premier League. His attitude is, however, spot on.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Keep.

 

[Tezza1889]

Everything except the final pass, something for him to work on..

Like others have said a great squad player, keep him in my opinion, gives it all..

Would you offer him a new one?

I am not sure.
He works hard but rarely creates any chances, especially when ha has to cross !
Maybe a one year extension whilst we find a better alternative.

 

[Houston_Blade]

As long as it’s not on silly money I’d keep him

 

[WORKSOPBLADE]

Really liked him to date. Last night v frustrating that he wouldn’t go for the byline to cross. Far too deep if he crossed. Crying out for a winger … suspect when signed B.O will be a squad member again.

 

[Varkanoid]

Yes definitely we will be in Championship for at least another season.

Would you offer him a new one?

Yes yes yes always gives 100% works much harder than some of our cardboard cutouts and is more of a goal threat than most of our strikers,

Without question.

 

[Trigger Blade]

Lots of talk of moving players on, contracts running down etc. Osborn is a valuable squad player and pretty much a starter now. His contract expires in the summer.

Would you offer him a new one?

I would, his work rate is outstanding and he’s a half decent crosser of the ball, despite not being a winger.

He also gets into the opposition area frequently. At Boro, a cutback from MGW and from Ndiaye and he’d have scored twice, two open nets.

 

[CaptainMorgans]

100% I'd be looking to keep him. Spot on attitude on & off the field. Lacks composure at times, decision making could be better, but he's actually not too bad technically and his work rate is excellent. A good player to have at this level.

 

[I should coco]

Spot on attitude on & off the field

Very suspect attitude - apparently he likes a book!

A book, FFS!

 

[Birdwell Blade]

Yes 100% in this division

 

[Danetheblade]

Lots of talk of moving players on, contracts running down etc. Osborn is a valuable squad player and pretty much a starter now. His contract expires in the summer.

Would you offer him a new one?

Without a doubt. He might not be as good technically as other members of the squad. However you're guaranteed something that nobody in that position seemingly gives... Effort and a drive to do well wherever he is playing. Shown glimpses of a decent finish too (his second at Peterboro... granted it's Peterboro.. but to place the ball as well as he did with his weaker foot. Sublime.

I wonder if this new confidence from coaching has had anything to do with his uptick in form recently. I have always liked him for the effort he puts in, but there have been times previously he’s maybe been a bit headless chicken. No stats to back this up as such but he just looks a bit more focused and settled in the side recently

Intelligent and committed player who uses his slightly limited talents to the maximum.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Sorry Ozzie - you're a lovely lad, clever and could probably run 4 ironman contests a week but you shouldn't be anywhere near the starting XI.

Good, versatile squad player to keep if he would take reduced terms.

 

[CarlMcBlade]

He ain’t no winger...

 

[Iceybabey]

Very poor today

 

[RecordBreakers]

I struggle to believe he's a footballer
