Agree. Whatever his shortcomings might be he's an honest player who made it into professional football the hard way.

Even if he ends up being a top league 1 / lower half championship player that’s still amazing for a lad from non league.
Also has an amazing shot which makes it even more Roy of the Rovers stuff.

Trademark free kick the first one and a nice first time shot for his second. Must be galling having a Wycombe following of about 50.Also watched the Posh/Wycombe highlights. Couple of nice goals from Lewis Wing.

He`s Scored Again!
His 9th goal for "The Gas"
[Edit]
Coburn and Sinclair on Target
Rovers came from behind to secure a win at Cambridge, with Coburn and Sinclair cancelling out Smith's early strike.
Joey Barton made three changes to the side that started the game against Cheltenham Town last Sunday, with Ryan Loft, James Gibbons and Luca Hoole replacing Antony Evans, Harry Anderson and Lewis Gibson.
Rovers bossed the early possession but were caught cold by the hosts after four minutes as Sam Smith scored with a close-range header.
United's Shilow Tracey then cut inside and his goalbound effort was cleared behind by Connolly. From the corner, Smith's header was well saved by Belshaw. Loft appeared to be fouled after 11 minutes but Cambridge cleared and were awarded a free-kick in identical circumstances. To rub salt into the wounds, Connolly was booked for his challenge.
Loft was in the book a minute later for a late sliding tackle on Brophy as the hosts began to dominate the game as the sun made an appearance for the first time today.
A few times Rovers looked to hit the ball long but the ball seemed to skip off the surface and into touch. In the 21st minute they hauled themselves level. Collins slid Coburn in on goal and, although Mannion got down well to save his shot, the number 40 headed home the rebound to make it 1-1.
Belshaw slid to collect a Cambridge through-ball after 23 minutes, but was left on the turf after Smith appeared to leave his leg in on the challenge. After treatment, the 'keeper was able to continue. The Gas then went in front, thanks to referee Parsons, who waved play on after Thomas was fouled. He allowed Coburn to feed Hoole down the right, and his inch-perfect found Sinclair at the far post to fire home after 28 minutes. (y)

Voted for Josh and Chuba
Some partnership they could be next season

It would be a natural fit as well, if Josh can maintain his progress as a holding striker then Chuba would fit in naturally behind him.
Totally agree, would compliment each others style perfectly I think

Off course it is the Boro way that it all go Pete Tong somehow, but we can dream.

Think we should definitely be keeping an eye on his colleague Collins too.
Bristol press nice article
I appreciate that Collins is getting talked up into the £5m class but he would be good cover for Chuba.
