Might be that he is one of the players that doesn't fit ideally in the BBM system. He seemed to be able to go both ways and sniff out a chance when more central but hugging the touchline might limit his abilities.

Apart from getting sent off I thought Ashford played well and also didn't shirk a physical battle and showed some good strength.
Must have watched a different game.😂

Not quite. We beat Barnsley in the play-offs and there was the little event of a century ago!

Agree with that- thought he played well tonight but hasn't had a great start to the season otherwise- often seems to lack pace but undoubtably a technical player with good awareness- let's hope he finds his mojo.

He's no slouch. I think that he'll come good, He's a good footballer, he conserves his energy well, He has a football brain in my opinion.

He's allowed to come inside when he plays out wide, although i agree with you in thinking that playing in a wider position can stifle his game a bit. I'm not sure this new style of play suits him, although it's very early on, Ashford is still developing as well. He's never really been hyped on here like other players who have come through the system, in fact he isn't really talked about much. I don't know how far he will go, or how he will develop, but one thing i am sure of is that he has a brain for football.

Darren Purse. Disciplinary panel chairman was a City season ticket holder.
