Ashton Is Injury Prone From The Waist Downwards...

...let me add that I have nothing against him and hope he makes a real go of it at WHU and England.

However, he does seem to be the sort of player who will always have a groin/thigh strain, archilles niggle, sprained or strapped ankle etc. He used to be strapped up for us on both legs, seen pics of him playing for Crewe similarly done up like a Christmas parcel.

This latest injury is an exception, but I can see him missing 2-3 games a few times a season for one reason or another.

Green is a better keeper than his last couple of seasons with us would suggest-in the play off season, for example, he virtually carried us like Huckerby did a couple of years later. He'll be OK for you, but I do wonder if he was ever going to make it as a really really top player, it would have been 1-2 years ago, rather than now?
