After a stunning start to life at Bristol Rovers, Josh Coburn's influence in Joey Barton's side has waned in recent weeks, but Middlesbrough manager Michael Carrick is not concerned.
An injury-hit start to the season could not prevent the Boro loanee from making a huge impact when he debuted in October, scoring in his first appearance in the blue and white quarters against Cambridge United and he backed that up with eight more goals in his next 14 League One appearances.
But the striker has not scored since January 7, with his scoring returns diminishing in line with the form of the entire team, and he spent a period out of the starting XI in February as he nursed a knee niggle. In recent weeks, he has regained his starting spot and his performance levels have improved, albeit without the rewards in front of goal.
