Pardew's comments

That Ashton should lose weight to me sum up just how bad our approach was last year. Ashton has lost weight to become more mobile as wetsham have realised just what a good footballer he is.

What did we do with him ? Get him doing weights so that he could "earn the right to play". Worthy tried to turn him into Steve Howard.

I'm glad we seemd to have turned the corner and will forgive the worthless one if we contuinue to play as we do and mount a serious promotion challenge but its going to take a while to forget just how bad last year was.
