i have been the biggest critic of the 'pissing about' but time and time again today we pulled in Watford's high press and then played Smyth and others in behind with a couple of quick one/twos. This is how it's meant to work I believe and Ashby seems central to making that happen.
Definately worked well in the second half, to the point that I couldn't believe Watford continued falling for it. Its always more relaxing to watch when its down the Ellersley/School End corner as opposed to right infront of me!
That was all about the performance for me. It showed that we are actually capable of carrying it through 90 minutes. If only we could get rid of MADSEN this window and try recoup at least a tenner for him.
Totally agree. Ashby has taken a lot of criticism on here playing out of position. But, as you rightly point out we can see what he's capable of playing where he should! I also think we should not forget Varane he is growing every game and reads the game well. I had a feeling he would be our best buy, he will be one to watch for the future. I hope we can hold on to him.
I wouldn't write off Madsen just yet. I think it will take him this whole season to adjust, I know that's a luxury but hopefully it will work out. I remember Frey taking several months to adjust albeit with injuries.
Clives a bit chipper today... https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/footb...s-frey-delight-for-resurgent-rangers-–-report
