Thank you. That is good information to have.
Presumably since Brewster and McBurnie are not match fit Osula is in pole position to play up front in the opening games. That's a big ask. I thought against Derby he only lacked composure when shooting. Looked almost identical to Jebbison. It's going to be interesting to see who can cement a place for the season.

43m pounds worth of talent (i use this term lightly) not avaialble .............................again. Poor really poor!

Really, really needed some further minutes into some new midfielders/some more fit strikers

I'd question the worth statement. We might have paid that. But not sure they're worth that

Fleck won’t play many more all season, Osborn needs to be kept to a minimum throughout the season as well.

Brewster retains the ‘needs a pre season’ excuse for another season.

Thought I'd seen somewhere he's broken the same leg

I hope not for his sake, still don’t want him near the first team though.

Same leg as who? Brewster or Osborn?
