Rudolph Hucker 0 Posted December 17, 2005 Have you noticed that Dean Ashton spends more time doing stretches than Phil Mitchell.Today he was so busy working on his calves whilst facing the City Stand he missed the huddle so got a consoling cuddle fron Hucks just before kick off.He wears lycra to keep his hamstrings warm too.When he jogs he has a choppy stuttering style.Is this all just precaution or does he have a tight hamstrings problem. I know he has had back problems and the two can go hand in hand.That said he stretches well for shots etc and is possibly just taking care of himself. I have long been of the opinion that players fail to stretch properly so perhaps he just knows better than most.Thank goodness he was also busy stretching our lead today!!!

The Great Drinkell 49 Posted December 18, 2005 I am lead to believe that there is a concern over his hamstring, in fact a steward told me on the open day- whilst waiting for the players to turn up in the car park - that he wanted a sporty style car but the club wouldn''t allow this as it could have adverse effects on his legs???
