Joey Barton believes Bristol Rovers loan striker Josh Coburn is the best striker in League One and is cautiously optimistic that the 20-year-old will complete the 2022/23 season with the Gas.
Coburn has made a major impact since making his delayed debut for the blue and white quarters on October 8, and scored his seventh goal of the season in the 4-3 defeat to Exeter City on Thursday night.
Aside from his finishing - a goal every 143 minutes and with an impressive 29 per cent shot conversion rate - what’s stood out with each of Coburn’s appearances is how he’s adapted to the physicality of the third tier.
