Who remembers our very own tactical genius saying a month or so back that in order for Ashton to improve as a striker, he needed to 'bully defenders'?
No Nigel. In order for him to improve as a striker, you need to buy some midfielders with quality who can provide him with service in the form of balls to his feet and crosses from the wing and tell the defenders and Greeno to stop hoofing it to him.
Hucks put a decent cross in the box on saturday and it didn't need a player of Ashtons quality to put it in. If only our players put more crosses like that in. Hucks is very good at crossing on the odd occasion that he does it so why doesn't Nigel tell him to do it more often?!!???
