    Same, although I'd like to see Osalu start myself.

    I dont honestly think hes ready to start in the Prem yet but he should be brought on near the end of the matches for Isak to see out the game instead of Wilson for two reasons:
    - Wilson offers no danger recently and so hasnt provided enough for the opposition to worry about re counter attacks. That means they can push up and pressure us with little fear.
    - Osula isnt the finished article but hes fast and in your face. Id be less inclined to push up if I was a CB and he was standing next to me than Wilson (who I know I could easily out pace).

    Wilson has had a some good minutes in his legs and he's due a goal. The pundits are tipping us to win by 3-0, 4-0. Even the Bookies have us winning by 3 or more.

    If we do rest Isak I'm not gonna be made. Wilson can and will score against Leicester they are awful. last 6 games, shipped 18 goals and scored 0 in response.

    Osula & Wilson can both do a job against this lot.

    That would be a good call. Give Wilson some confidence. Keep Isak as a reserve. I am hoping that Osula will come good next season or be loaned out to a decent team if we do get another striker.
