Re: Clan Ashford

Played well today. He certainly is a better bet than El Ghazi.

A traffic cone moves more than El Ghazi. He has been an awful signing

Re: Clan Ashford

Agreed.

His defensive work was solid which was important today, and yet isn’t easy for an attacking player.

Ashford was excellent today, and deserves to start on Wednesday, sadly I don’t think my optimism of El Ghazi going to star in the championship is going to bear fruit
I saw enough in that performance at Oxford to suggest he should be as far away as possible from the first team

It is if it comes natural to them or if they have the ability to listen and learn and adapt their game. I know hardly anything about Ashford, but the goal he scored against Oxford was text book, awareness, balance, composure, knew what was around him before he received the ball and he executed it perfectly. He showed a lot of qualities before the ball hit the net.

Agreed. His CV is better than anyone has ever seen him play.

He seemed to pop up everywhere on the radio.

Re: Clan Ashford

I had a Watford stream and they really liked Ashford. They thought he could go to the top level.

I had a very spooky moment when I started to read this thread and saw Maurice Swan contributing…


Then I saw the date back in April. Hope he enjoyed the game today

Yeah, a bit of a poignant reminder.
Hope you enjoyed that one Mo looking down!

Sounds like Cian's a shoo-in to start on NYD.
Loved his assist today for CR.

Re: Clan Ashford

Cian has 2 goals and 2 assists from just under 500 minutes of championship football.

it's about 0.73 goal involvements per 90 which is very good indeed (although small sample sizes)
