Osorio

Agreed but you don't drop Pino or Kamada.

But you can sub one for the other as required. They both have their strengths but neither are great defensively which makes midfield too lightweight.
There was a story yesterday (only Mick Brown as usual) that we want to get Gallagher back - if true/possible he'd presumably be instead of Wharton.

He's a loanee from Midgitland isn't he? Very possible he has minutes and/or starts triggers in his contract.

I'm fairly sure it's a loan with an obligation to buy as we wanted him but didn't have the money to buy him in the Summer, so we've paid a €2m loan fee and will buy him next Summer for €26m, so we certainly need to start using him more.
 
A difficult one for him. I presume he sees a move to the Premiership as a step up in his career. That said, how often is he going to be used in a side fighting against relegation? He looks like he has some ability, but the pressure on him to produce the goods with just a few minutes here and there is unfair on him and makes it difficult to judge his true worth.
 
Is it just me, or does Osario seem insanely quick? When he comes on, he seems to take off like the Road Runner. Despite that, I don't see the rush to start him, given he's young, has never played in a top league and arrived with slight injury issues. He does look like an exciting prospect, and if we are obliged to buy him, then he's signing whatever. I also think Daichi and Pino have arguably been our two best players this season, so to drop one would seem a strange decision, unless Osario can prove in his 15/20 minute cameos that he's more deserving.

You are right.

Needs to be given more minutes. Not afraid to shoot, go past people and try to have an effect on the game.

It might be worth dropping Wharton to the bench for a couple of games and moving Kamada into midfield with Timber to give Osorio a starting role.

Let's face it Wharton has been a shadow of his former self for most of the season so far. He's not undroppable.

No one in modern football can be dropped - they can be rotated, rested, saved for the league, saved for Europe, have a bug, be carrying a knock or any other reason but getting dropping bruises their ego - which would then keep them out for another fortnight.

The footballing word ‘dropped’ has definitely been put away in the archives with the words ‘sweeper’ ‘stopper’ and ‘back four’ (in our case)

Ah I understand. There were so many signings I hadn't heard of in that last 48 hours of the transfer window I lost track of who's who and what they do.
Even now when I see squad photos I'm like "eh? Whozzat??"

Canvot changing to an afro the other night really threw me off.
