I'd quite like to see Downing a bit more centrally aswell. He wouldn't be directly in central midfield and with his wimpness you'd obviously play two tougher central midfielders behind him.

  Some interesting points on here abaout Ashley.

  He is one of our better players, but i have to admit that i agree with some of the other posters on here that Albrighton and Downing are currently better wide players, and give more than Ashley does when he plays wide.

  Does he get enough goals as the free man?....not sure he does.



  I can't remember who suggested it earlier, but i think the emergence of Bannan, might change the future structure of the team.
  Wheras now we play a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Delph coming back into the team, i expect the formation to change to 4-1-2-2-1 system.With a M'Vila player holding, with Delph and Bannan playing in front, with 2 wide players , and a foward.I'm not sure where Ashley will fit in to that tbh.

  Is he a indespensable as 2 years ago?.........No.Is he one of our betterplayers?......Yes.
