Bernie Coburn

[Ex Footy Legs]

It’s been a while since we found a proper goalscorer but perhaps Josh can be renamed using Bernie to pay homage to Coburns ability to find the net naturally on a regular basis and just seems to be his destiny
To score goals

"Big Josh Coburn" surely!

 

[Middlesbrough123]

Huge potential but there hasn’t been much hype about him which will probably work in our favour . He could be playing with balogun for England soon

I thought he must of been involved with England already
He can’t be far away now

Agree, his all round game is developing quickly but his number one asset that’s emerging to us within boro (at the moment) is his natural talent for a goal.

Can’t really be coached, he has a calmness when he’s in with a chance.

Imagine what it would mean to Josh to play a major part in Boro promotion. Maybe get the winner in the playoff final. Go on lad.

Fantastic to have Josh and Watmore as impact subs to run defences ragged in the last twenty minutes, works so well for us, it's a squad game these day's and something we haven't had a strong enough one in recent years

He looks a natural finisher and I must admit he has come on in leaps and bounds since his performance where he started at Blackpool away in the cup in August. I thought some fans were a little ott on him at first. He did put effort in that day and whilst the team was collectively poor, bar Sol, he looked a little lightweight and I thought a little naive against seasoned CB’s, but he is still a kid growing into his body. However, he definitely offers something different from the bench, he has worked on his strength since, his height is a bonus too. I am not convinced he should start yet though.

I think he does need to strengthen up still, but that will come with hard work and maturity in fairness. I am now sure he will make the grade, is looking more and more an exciting prospect and will undoubtedly be an ever increasing presence in the squad. He plays with a youthful exuberant joy, a big grin on his face, it is like a fairytale how he has progressed to date. Well done Josh, you deserve the praise you are getting, keep at it, work hard, take nothing for granted (apart from Chis wanting his sausages that is)

He has all the potential and seems to be being gradually introduced by Wilder, which is good management. Even his goal on Saturday showed natural instinct. Having only read reports prior to seeing highlights on Sunday. I assumed he had done a 'Connolly' and it had hit his knee and he had been a tad fortunate. In fact he improvised, as he couldn't connect with his foot, and it was an intelligent finish.

Just being in the right place at the right time is certainly a good trait. How many times have wanted good balls in the box then when they happen no one is there

Tbh the last player we had IMHO who was such a natural at his positioning was perhaps Jordan Rhodes?
