You WOULD think so , wouldn't you, BUT DA decides lol
You might be right. But even if he's only good for 45/60 it's surely better to start your best available players. We do want to win don't we?nick_PASTIE":129h84ez said:djg145":129h84ez said:Steve.PAFC2012":129h84ez said:Judging by Grimsby and Barnet Osborne HAS to play now surely with Songo'o back in midfield?

There seems a big assumption that Osborne is fit enough for 90 mins L2 action. He had no pre season and has only had a handful of reserve games and a bit of first team action.
I am assuming he is being wrapped up in cotton wool to prevent a reoccurrence of injury

If we save him and go a goal or two behind because Songo'o is back there, not protecting the back four, we might just as well all go home, our set-up is for counter attacking and Donny won't attack.
If we get ahead through having a solid set up we can revert back later if Ossie's legs go and hope to hold on.
It's all too conservative to me to willingly send out a weak defensive set-up just in case of injury. If he's fit enough for the bench, he's fit enough to start and worry about fatigue later.
Too true but why do I get the feeling that come Saturday Songo will be CB, Goodwillie up top on his own, same formation, etc. Wouldn't it be refreshing if we gave them something to think about as opposed to playing into their hands as per their scouting report?X Isle":1gthjr6q said:You might be right.
