Reply | Ashby injured or hooked?
at 20:53 23 Jan 2025
Was chatting to two West Ham lads in work today and showed them this thread.
They were absolutely gobsmacked.
Apparently the good ol' cor blimey guv'nor Academy had touted young Ashby as a "big thing" and they were gutted the Geordies nabbed him for the price they did.
I did ask them if the "big thing" they referred to would fit in a bucket, a stetson hat or around a u-bend.
Maybe I've got him all wrong. Fair play and he wouldn't be the first, far from it.
He could land at another club and be the dogs danglies.
We'll see.... |

Marti says bad news not bad injury
The big question for me is what is he doing differently this season to last? |

I didn’t see him throwing his shirt on the floor —- for those that did can they confirm the jersey hit the floor or did he miss that as well? |

It’s not just those body parts in….. he comes out with the ball a lot of the time and in space and is composed enough to pick a pass.
As stated above, he’ll have mad moments, but he will get better and better.
Filled a big space today as for some reason Morgan seemed to play more inside right (and wider) than his usual position
Varanne Varanne I gotta crush on you…. |

Surely that HAS to be it for Ashby at our club?
He started the move that gave Dull City a route back into the game; but doesn’t he always.
There must be some way we can cancel this loan this month?
I’m amazed anyone can see anything positive about this fella, he’s up there with the worst defenders I’ve ever seen play for us (and he’s in good company there)
Let’s have it right; we all know Sir James of the Dunne clan has now 1,000% reinvented himself as our marauding right back; so anyone else is cover. I’d take Santos as that man if only because we own him and, as bad as some things are he’s done, he’s done okay in patches.
Two brilliant subs followed up by two woeful ones last 15 mins.
I hope Marti did hook Ashby but if he did then I’m more mystified why he didn’t at HT v Leicester in the cup?????
If Ashby has an Agent looking after him then I hope he’s been advising him to invest in property these last couple of years since he stole that Geordie contract |

Right
That’s it
I’m sold
This fella is class and was MoM over the 90 mins for me yet again tonight.
Getting better and better and better and I can see him being yet another double digit millions player for us in a year or so.
He’s now moving around the pitch with grace and poise and breaks play up and starts forward moves in one action.
Edging himself into POTY territory at the moment |

There is no such thing as a long trip home after 3 points on the road - longer the better is my recollection from my travelling days
On which…. Surely it cannot be 22 years since Ooooh Richard Paquetre in the back of the net….Yeah!
I remember that day and the trip there like it was yesterday
Was interested to see who you made MoM and I thoroughly agree in the choice of Smudge.
So pleased for the wee man.
A very close second has to be Samuel Field….. if the net had rippled he would have bagged it but that really was his only blemish and he played a true Captain role for the whole game.

I saw at the end (on my footage) it appeared Marti went straight to him and had words that seemed to make Rayan’s face drop.
I wondered if Marti was being quick to point out an incident just before FT where Rayan sloppily gave the ball away in our right channel.
If so that is great coaching
Noticed Marti also said post match about keeping him humble alongside being very pleased with him.
Mark my words; in this kid and Morgan we have twenty to thirty million of future value on our hands IF they develop right. |

Can we afford him?
If I’m any other club at this level I’m looking at his stats and thinking “could do a job”
Christ I hope he signs a deal |

The first glimpses we had of him I wasn’t impressed
Today he blew that out of the water.
Looked really really assured, calm and composed.
Think I saw he was £3mill? Way beyond us which is a shame as he does look like might have a bit about him and will get better as he matures
As noted - absolute props to the club for getting him in early. |

Brilliant news on Kolli
A player I’ve been championing for a long time and I really think we’ve got a player on our hands here.
I really think he will score some special goals for us and lots don’t realise just what skillsets this lad has in his box. He’s also not shy in putting in a shift and sticking his head in where it hurts. He’s also got a bit of pace.
Basically he’s second choice behind Frey already for me and Celar fourth choice even if fit |

48 plus would probably be the line
50 more certain
52 an accepted safety total so 53 is always my target
My use of wins just to illustrate the point…. Would I take 5 wins and six draws? Of course!!
We are still a long way from being home n hosed and I’d like to see points racked up as quickly as possible while confidence is high. That starts with a win on Saturday at Plymuff please |

I’m with you.
That’s why my median safety buffer is 12 points from the drop line.
It’s so easy to lose 3 games in a week at this level and lurch from safe to looking over your shoulder. Cuts both ways at bottom and top.
Fact is though that we need 7 more wins and it is yet another Marti miracle that we are saying that now compared to 8 weeks ago |
