Right at the end today, a little row broke out - Ashley kept it going because every moment Leicester were arguing with him was a moment that the clock was ticking. That won't have been an accident on his part - he's a very, very clever footballer. Yep I thought exactly this and loved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really thought he was about to bend it into the far corner, run to the Holte and outline his name on his back like it was 2010. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just trying to tempt Dewsburg-Hall or whatever he's called into a headbutt, was testing the kid's temperament considering he was getting frustrated. Him and Martinez certainly know how to waste time in last 10 minutes when we're winning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomC Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 While I wouldn't put him on the level of Paul McGrath, he's like McGrath was in that he is making up for lack of pace in his old age with smarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

choffer Posted December 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2021 I love the enthusiasm he brings. You’d think someone nearing the end of their career, where they’d been very successful, might be a little jaded and come with a “been there, done that” attitude. The video of his celebration with Ezri shows just how much he loves playing and how much of an inspiration he is to to the younger players in the team. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laughable Chimp Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Surprised I haven't seen a comment in this thread yet. I really don't like him as a winger. I don't think he has the pace, trickery or ability for it anymore. When the ball falls to him, he just isn't threatening with it. He works hard and keeps it simple. Those 2 simple characteristics have made him a rather versatile player to have. But he's probably not gonna be the guy that unlocks defenses and wins matches for us. Rather, one that's capable of plugging holes in our team and doing a capable job when called for.

poitier Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I love Ash and he is a quality player, but very disappointed to see him starting at LW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted December 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 14, 2021 Well below par by his standards today but one thing I loved was how happy and appreciative he was of Chukwuemeka's assist, brilliant for team spirit. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 He's clearly lost what he had, but hard to blame him at 36 after being forced to play as a full-back at the peak of his career. I think he's just a placeholder for one of our many crocked wingers and I'd rather see a prospect in that covering role tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
