Nottingham Forest fans pan 22-year-old on Twitter after display v Brentford
By Danny Wright
Nottingham Fans were less than pleased with Ben Osborn’s display against Brentford on Tuesday.
Supporters were furious with the lacklustre display from the attacking midfielder, who played in a more advanced role than he is used to in the 3-2 loss.
With Gary Brazil’s side 3-0 down going into the closing stages, it was his three substitutes Ben Brereton and Zach Clough, courtesy of a Ross McCormack assist, that kept the result close.
Osborn played for the entire 90 minutes for the 14th consecutive game for the East Midlands club but fans believe that he should now be dropped.
Here is a collection of tweets from Nottingham Forest fans about Osborn’s performance on Tuesday:

Osborn and Cash really need to get much better at passing too. They have potential but won't fill it at the top level at this rate. #nffc

I like Osborn but he's a liability at the moment. He runs a lot but wastes everything. #NFFC

Clough is thinking I've made the biggest mistake of my life…made the difference on Saturday and loses out to crap like Cash & Osborn #NFFC

Osborn out on his feet this evening. Having a half decent season but he's not immune to be subbed surely? #NFFC
