Josh Coburn

My worry is that when we send young players out on loan "to get game time" that usually means the end of their Boro career. So I'm not convinced it is a strategy that works.
Jones being an obvious exception.
 
I’d rather keep him personally, we were struggling to get goals from accomplished strikers he may not have everything just yet but at least he can chip in will goals when needed . Hope the alternative isn’t akpom
Why the unnecessary hatered towards Akpom, I thought he did OK today and looked a threat.

What was evident to me was that all 4 of our CF when needed where out fort and out muscled by WB which if big Uche was available for selection as he still is on the payroll and a Middlesbrough player he may of been able to help with that get us up the field and give the other forwards a chance to score, even thpugh we created a few good glaring opportunities for our forwards, which we should of scored most notabley watmore.
I am fully behond wilder and today shpws upfront we are not good enough amd it needs addressing though for me out of all the forwards I think Uche could be the most useful thoroughout the season if used correctly.

I also though Mcgree and Crooks were not great today and we were overan second half and had no midfielders to freshen up, they both can pffer muich more than they delivered tonight bit a great point for both teams how are fighting for promotions and especially for boro who have a hand tied behind our back till we get some players in, so UTB

uche will never play for wilder. Can't press from the front.

one of the reasons WBA got back into it in the 2nd half was the ineffectiveness of our front two to affect the play either holding it up or disrupting WBA bringing the ball out.
 
He worked his asse off and was a threat , his finishing was poor, but can not not knock him for effort.
He will go and hopefully we will replace him with better .
Not knocking his effort I’m knocking his quality. It was poor today and cost us.
 
Let's be honest if things go as planned in the transfer market then Akpom and Watmore won't be featuring and very likely won't be here. Send Coburn out on loan - will do him no harm at all. Giles and Jones are key this season and it's absolutely crucial that we have a clinical finisher.
 
I’ve said all along that Josh needs to go out on loan and quickly. When ever I’ve seen a decent teen make it through to the pros they normally have to go out on loan so they can get dirty every week and showing they can last 90 minutes consistently. Josh can’t do that right now.

Josh is very eager and wants to learn but he’ll never learn his trade watching from the bench. He has some good attributes but right now he’s losing valuable playing time where he can play from week to week and build his weak and strong parts, and you can only do that by playing.

I’m sure he’ll be gone in a few weeks.
 
When i see so called more experienced strikers also scoring , working hard, outmuscling and linking up well with the midfield way beyond joshs abities then yes he may not get as many opportinities and a loan move might be for the best. But not seen it yet.
 
He looked exactly what he is when he came on - a raw youngster.

That moment when he had the ball down the right side and tried to beat his man - you knew he was never going to beat him and it showed his inexperience. He should have held it up, got his head up and waited for some support to arrive.

Send him out on loan to League One.
