And that's whyI said there's none so blind. Yes ED025 even you must have noticed the trend. Another win. Another stat to the incredible Ossie.

I think that's his best position, we tried him as an attacking midfielder, he was awful and as a holding midfielder last season and he was, well, destroyed to say the least. When on the left (tbf we've barely played with 2 wide men all season) it gives us an actual formation from the usual 8-1-1 formation. How many times this season have we had someone on the left and someone on the right? Very rarely and that's why we are winning games, we have a shape!

This may upset Degsy but, on saturdays performance, Ossie was not at the races. He had one effort in the first minute, showed quick feet in one or two situations but, apart fom that, the game passed him by. I like Ossie, maybe not to the extent of a certain poster on here, but he has been a great servant to the club. That should not come in to the managers thinking when picking the team though. He should have been subbed at some point as he was not doing much in the second half, would have been nice to get someone with a bit more pace running at the full back in the last twenty minutes or so

Spudv I agree with you. Although I often stick up for Ossie (because I feel he gets unfair abuse) I do understand his limitations and yes it was not his best game. I would have subbed him too. But the stats show that when he plays, we win or draw.and when he does not play. we lose. Bar 4 games this season. that rule applies. He obviously brings a balance to the team and although I realise he is on his last legs,he still plays a very important part within our squad. The middle of this season where we had no wins in 11 games was when he was out injured. enough said.
