Although, I applaud Josh for having a go at challengers, he has had little success. He needs to get some confidence back and get a run of results at 10ks

Well, he did very well at Champaign which was pretty recent, given the off season

True, but it's still a fair point. Josh is a lot more capable than his ranking suggests, and maybe a run at a few Futures might be what he needs to get his career moving forward again. Then again, we don't know his financial situation so he may well find it more sustainable getting the odd main draw win or LTA bonus money for qualifying than what Futures offer. Would be nice to see him stringing a few wins together again though.
