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.
