Ashton United form and stats

There's been little loot from Ashton United's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 11 away games in the Non League Premier: Northern. Ashton United only have 1 win to counter their 7 defeats and 3 draws. The pressure to perform on the road is increasing on Clegg, the Ashton manager, as the last three away games were defeats.

Ashton play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 3-4 to United of Manchester (placed 7th). As you can tell from the result, the match against United of Manchester was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 7 goals, will the fun continue today?

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Mickleover Sports.

After this away game Ashton United return home for a Non League Premier: Northern game against Morpeth Town. That game is only three sleeps after this.

Ashton United have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 11 league away games 11 goals have been scored. Ashton United have conceded 19 goals in these games.
