Just playing devil's advocate but he is under contract. If every contracted player who wasn't currently getting a game decided to nick off to play for their local team because it suited their travel perogatives, then we might as well just pay every hired kicker week to week or take 'em on monthly loans, and then where would we be?
If Jamey Osborne isn't good enough to get in our first team match day squad then I clearly don't understand football, so the club and the player have confused me.
I'm not saying I'd be pleased about it. Just if he thought there was no hope under Slade of getting game time, and he had other options which paid as much/more AND meant he had more time for friends and family, then I can see why he might take them. |

Quite. And he's got a 30 month contract to be professional footballer. He shouldn't have another job! |

Perhaps Kingston, though I find it hard to believe he's moonlighting at the moment and I'm not aware that he has a profession or trade to take up on the side in any event.
If I had to come down on one of the scenarios, I'm inclined to think that he's got a personal or family situation that needs attention, and that the "If needed" statement refers to one-off games such as if we were to have an injury and red-card epidemic and need him for a game, then he'd come back for a few days.
We've seen from other players (Matt, Clements, Browne) that players do often need time near family so in the context of a two and a half year deal, I hope he'll be back and ready to reward the club's support for him.
I wasn't suggesting he's moonlighting, just that non-League players can often be better off staying part-time if they had decent day job options. It's a good point you make about one-off games. And you can add Nathan to that list. Sometimes, real life includes all of those options. Dissatisfaction with the way the job's going, not getting on with your new boss (not the guy who recruited you), work commitments which impinge on family life, and the serious ill health of a family member. It might cause you to decide that you're better off out of it and return to a previous employer. We're all just speculating really. |

I think we can probably assume that the club are happy to do without him presently, or he'd be back here after his 'fitness loan', fighting for his place and honouring his commitment as per the contract he signed. Obviously, if he can negotiate something more personally convenient whilst in the midsts of that because the club don't see him as immediately valuable, then he will.

Which is bonkers considering Woolford started the last game. But there you go! |

Maybe you can see why Osborne might be drunk off then (if he is, just speculating like). |

Before he went to Solihull he was beginning to feature from the bench and making the squads.
Why is he not fighting for his place in league football?
Seems very strange to me, reading between the lines I find it difficult to blame the club for this one. It strikes me that he has never fully committed to us having not moved. He's got all the ability to play at a much higher level and I'd love to see him in our team, but I think either he wants away or the club want to shift his wages or something they don't like about him.

Of course because he was getting MOM every week and being watched by other league clubs in the Midlands, he may have been tapped up and he favours being nearer to home.
IMO Town have to be a bit wary here and take advantage of any offers for him made during the transfer window, hence the extra months Loan
