Yes, but there's a slight difference between a wing wizard

going missing in a game, like croft has known too, like players like Etherington go and hide, than and a striker that's stood there waiting for someone to put some quality in for him to score

Someone gave him that quality in the fulham game, and he turned and scored. Steve Dunn gave a freekick for fulham, because Ashton had out muscled the centre back. The other way round and we wouldn't have got a penalty. But that's steve dunn for you

In the man utd game, he could one chance, and buried it. For the second, he put it on a plate for McKenzie

5 days later he turned 1 point into 3 against Newcastle

He did the same for west him against Man City in a game they didn't dominate, then stood up when it mattered in the semi against boro, and scored in the final

    - if i was playing in a game on the local Rec, with jumpers for goal posts (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 5, 13:58:52

    - winning mentality innit, (NCFC) - HairyBobbingManAss, Aug 5, 13:29:26
      - Yet Ashton has proven, as a striker, when to score when it matters (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:32:54
        
        you said... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:41:14
        
        I remember him scoring a perfectly decent goal in the fulham away game (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:54:45
        
        To be fair, he was our best player at Fulham by quite some way. (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:43:02
        
        true but the point was... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:45:17
        
        Didn't he have a perfectly good goal disallowed when we were 1-0 down? (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:46:47
        
        If you start counting goals in football that shouldn't have been disallowed (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:48:48
        
        Yes, but there's a slight difference between a wing wizard (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:59:50
        
        Sounds good to me. Let's say we beat Fulham 3-0 with a Mattias Jonson hat-trick. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:50:29
        
        Was the Ashton goal still disallowed then? (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:07:37
        
        Yeah. It makes the (admittedly unlikely) Jonson hat-trick even better. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 14:10:49
        
        In that case I'm a bit confused why we're allowed to do this.... (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:11:37
        
        I decided to divorce the argument from any sort of rationality whatsoever. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 14:13:22
        
        Oh. OK. (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:17:33
        
        "we beat Fulham 3-0 with a Mattias Jonson hat-trick" (n/m) (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 13:55:17
        
        Everyone else say it too. Maybe it'll catch on and we'll be back in the Premier League. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:57:39

        *sub Fact for Truth and that's my point (n/m) (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:46:01
        
        How often are facts ignored about Ashton on here though? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:08:29
        
        the 2 people fact thing (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:18:37
        
        Yeah, but we know that was a troll so we ignored it (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 5, 14:32:31
        
        That's a fair point I guess (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:39:27
        
        But you're treating the whole board as if it were one person (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 5, 14:15:00
        
        Cool (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:34:58
        
        I know what you're saying about Bellers & Ashton (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Aug 5, 14:44:38
        
        I guess I'm just a bit more straight forward thinking (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:57:45
        
        You do need to remember that Bellamy was much more of a Norwich player (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Aug 5, 14:14:21
        
        I totally understand that, and that's why I'm saying (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 14:22:30

        Peter Thorne certainly couldn't stand up when it counted... (n/m) (NCFC) - blindasabat, Aug 5, 13:36:38
        
        Or at all, by the end. (n/m) (NCFC) - Ottosson Foxtrot, Aug 5, 13:38:57

        Cos he was injured? (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:38:09
        
        WHAT!? Ashton has scored more important goals than Ronaldo? (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:34:49
        
        I didn't say Ronaldo can't do it (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:36:28
        
        I don't think Ashton has played in enough big games really to compare him (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:37:52
        
        I was talking about how great players can rise to an occasion (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:39:06

  - Really? (NCFC) - CB41, Aug 5, 13:22:03
  - Ashton would probably be injured and have a scan to prove it. (n/m) (NCFC) - NCFC4life, Aug 5, 13:20:09
    - and then be go on to be injured for the next couple of years (NCFC) - pants, Aug 5, 13:28:23
      - Here we go...a full list... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Aug 5, 13:31:43
