Josh

Just seen the Sky highlights. It appears that when he was put through and shot wide he never looked up between taking the pass and shooting.

Needs some coaching on this as well.
 
I actually thought he played better overall today.

Could have scored a couple. Still think he is good, but think Lath deserves a go on Tuesday.
 
No doubt he could/should have had a couple today. That said I hope he's not to disappointed. He's young and doing a terrific job for us. I'm glad he's with Boro and not at Plymouth.

I think he's a massive part in our recent improvement. It pretty much ties in with our change of fortune. He brings so much to how we can now play. He's an absolute handful for his age. He brings others into the game with his physicality. I'd definitely continue with him as first choice.

I'm sure 8-10 goals this season would be a terrific return.

He doesn't seem fazed at all about coming up against experienced champo CBs. Gives as good as he gets. Although hardly suprising as warnock said he'd go 'toe to toe' with Bamba in training.
 
Important part of the team. The defenders are often battered and bruised when Lath, Rogers etc them come on to run at then.

More goals will come as he matures. I’d be more worried if he wasn’t getting a sniff.

As long as we are winning I’m not sure it matters as he is contributing and making lots of space for others.

Yes I’m not slating the lad necessarily, just saying it might be time for a change.


He did a great job when the team was struggling just by being a focal point and helping us get the ball up the pitch. But, 1 in 10 is 1 in 10
 
He clearly doesn't have the pace to play off the shoulder of the last man for through balls in behind as his main supply and I think trying to steal a step was the cause of his offsides today.

However, when we get the ball wide and play into the box, which should be his bread and butter, he's getting the wrong side of his defender or looking to pull to the back post too often rather than get across the man or bully them physically.

I think he contributes a lot to the team overall in holdup and linkup play and works hard closing down. I was impressed with Latte Lath's back to goal holdup play when he came on today though, not seen that from him before that I can remember much.
 
Our change in form is a lot down to Coburn, and what he brings to the team and style of play.
Nobody wants to play against him man on man.

If he wasn't getting in positions to have chances I'd be more worried.
And he's actually two footed, as his left foot strike 2nd half showed.
If he needs to be a battering ram for 60 to 70 mins and we keep winning. So be it 😍

He’s scored 1 in 10 now this season. If he wasn’t a local lad he’d be getting stick.

Was saying to my dad at the match, away at Norwich with space in behind might be the right game for Latte Lath to come in for him

I think the more relivent 'stat' is how many have we won when he's started? Also how much have other players looked better or found more space.

I do like the look of Latte Lath. Yet two completely different players in terms of style. They will both do a job for us.

I imagine Josh will still have a part to play if coming off the bench. I just don't see any point changing a winning team unless for fatigue or injury. Latte Lathe will get his chance.

That said almost certainly changes as 3 games. I expect Rogers will also get a start this week.
 
He should be using his size more. There was a moment just before he came off where he was played in behind and used his strength to hold off their defender. Just don't see him doing that enough for me, but hopefully it will come.
 
There was so many times we got the ball to the byline for a pull back and he was pulling to the back stick rather than getting across the front man.

Someone like Kevin Phillips would have had a hatrick today
