Yes to Ainsworth but I understand his hair is director of football at Ebsfleet these days.

Sometimes I regret cutting my heavy metal hair in my 20s. Then I see Ainsworth and realise it was for the best.

Going to be a luxury isn't it with Kellyman and Willock having more and more influence.

Shows how well we're doing when 2 of our pre season expected most influential players have been out for long periods yet we have kept up momentum. Shows what a good job BBM is doing with what he has available.

I didn't notice Ashford wasn't available until after the game. I know we'll have tougher tests to come but it's good how we have a much healthier attitude to adversity now

Yeah it's refreshing to see how the players know what's expected of them and in a lot of cases fit into the system effortlessly when called upon.

Regardless of what happens from here on in, I've witnessed half a season of some pretty impressive management and player progression like I'm not sure I can remember watching City

When we went a goal down last night, even against a side like Stevenage, I was confident that we would would turn it round. I’ve not felt like that watching City for years.

Was Ashford suspended or just rested. Obviously a space had to be created for the sub keeper if Tanner was also going to be on the bench.

I’m guessing he was rested. He’s played a lot of football recently.

No idea but don't recall hearing anything about an injury or suspension. May have caught the bug going round or is been given a bit of a rest given it's 4 games in 8 days
