I looked at it more of a case that everyone put the effort in and played to their strength

and not just Ashton, and that was the reason for the improved performance.

But noticing the differences between a match where they put the work in, and a match where they didn't (Wolves, Derby etc) would be a little too much like a Worthington ethic.
