There could be loads of reasons why Ashton is taking kicks at goal;Panchitta Marra posted:
Chris Ashton was just about hitting the uprights on most kick off's last season making it difficult for the oppostion to catch the ball. With this accuracy and distance acheived, why isnt he taking the goal kicks.
- Richard was better than Ashton in training
- Noble doesn't want to put more pressure on Ashton
- Ashton might not be able to adapt his technique to kicking form other areas of the pitch.
- Noble thinks Richards is better at kicking than Ashton
- Ashton just isn't very good at kicking goals.
Ashton has shown that he is good at taking kick-offs but that doesn't mean he will be good a goal kicking, Barrett is one of the best and most accurate in-field kickers in the world but has never kicked a goal in his career.
