Joey Barton's bold statement on Clarke-Harris and Bristol Rovers stars before Peterborough clash

Joey Barton believes "the two best strikers in League One" will be at the Mem on Saturday when Bristol Rovers host Peterborough United, and he is "not sure any of them play for Posh".

Former Gas striker Jonson Clarke-Harris, who was sold to Peterborough in 2020 for a fee that has risen to around £2million, is enjoying another strong season for Grant McCann's side, leading the third-tier scoring charts with 12 goals and two assists in 18 games. On the other side is Aaron Collins, who is tied at the top of the league with Exeter City's Jevani Brown for goal involvements, with 10 goals and seven assists in his 18 appearances.

And Rovers manager Barton believes Middlesbrough loanee Josh Coburn, who has four goals in seven appearances for the Gas this term, is in the same class, tipping the teenager to have a bright future in the game.
