Isaiah Osbourne

Signed on a short term deal until January 16th. Played most of his football at a higher standard than League One including 19 appearances for Aston Villa and 28 for Blackpool.

It looks like Mark Robins has been watching videos of our performances and decided we need more physical strength in midfield. Osbourne is a 6' 2'' enforcer so we should not get bullied quite as much. That has certainly been an issue with McAllister who has not had the same influence as last season. We should certainly be stronger in the air with Osbourne in the team.

Short term deal means we have little to lose on this one.
