Around 60 miles from there to Walsall so commutable although I think I'd tire of that drive 5 or 6 days a week pdq. If he meant from the Merseyside area then you are looking at 100 miles each way. That would fuck me off within a week An hour's commute from their house apparently. All other offers were from further afield. Link to comment

Utter pish and before anyone comes back and says he was one of our best last season, what exactly does that prove? Time's up. We were shite last season. If you look at the data analysis stats for SPL central defenders since Ash came back to the club he ranks very highly for the defensive work but i don't think anyone would be surprised that it is his stats in possession of the ball where he is not so good. When it comes to aerial supremecy he is ranked as second best defender in SPL at winning 75..7% of his 8.7 aerial duals per 90 mins. The average stat of a SPL CD was 7.7 aerial duals per 90 and 64.97% of duals were won. (Declan Gallagher is at 65% of his 8.9 duals per 90). When it comes to defensive duals on the ground Ash won 72.4% of his 5.6 defensive duals per 90 mins, the average was to win 71% of 6.54 duels per 90 mins. (Gallagher won 74.2% of 8.4 duals per 90mins) On football intelligence when it came to central defending its about reading the game so the stats looked at were interceptions per 90 and blocked shots. Ash made 7.3 interceptions per 90 and 0.68 blocked shots per 90. The average was 6.12 interceptions and 0.66 shots blocked per 90 (Gallagher was 5.8 intercptions and 0.43 blocked shots). when it comes to stats when on the ball the average passes per 90 for an SPL central defender is 37.37 and the average accuracy was 80.15 and the average number of forward passes per 90 was 17.69. Ash had 32 passes per 90 with a 73% accuracy and 8.1 forward passes per 90 (Gallagher had 40 passes par game with a 79% accuracy and 18.9 forward passes). The last stat looked at is progressive runs and progressive passes. the average number of progressive runs per 90 is 0.87 and the average number of progressive passes is 8.7. Ash made 0.15 progressive runs and 8.1 progressive passes (Declan Gallagher made 1.6 progressive runs 9.5 progressive passes per 90). So the stats would show that he was a good standard of defender when it came to just defending but he was useless on the ball. Also looks like Gallagher will be an upgrade when on the ball but not as good defending in the air and not good at all when it comes to reading the game with below average spl defender stats for blocks and interceptions. 2 1 Link to comment

As an out and out defender, I thought he was very decent when he kept it simple. Playing in a back three probably helped him with him being asked to stay back as the central of a three and allowing the other CH’s either side to step forward. Maybe that’s why he wasn’t considered to be a one of the 2 CH’s in a back 4 Link to comment
strachanmcgheegoal Posted July 9, 2021 Share Posted July 9, 2021 On the downside the oppositions pressing technique involved getting the ball to Ash and then looking to their goalie to build from the back, something we excelled at letting them do. Link to comment

People almost unanimously questioned why he was getting extensions when we had Lewis and Cerny at the club. No much wonder the young lad went to Norwich in the middle of that period. Absolutely no reason why he shouldn't have been third choice instead of Rogers. Link to comment
