Two years in the past, Newcastle United accomplished the signing of Harrison Ashby, who joined alongside January signing Anthony Gordon in a £3m transfer from West Ham.
The Hammers tried to tie him right down to a brand new contract however failed with their ultimate supply, seeing him arrive on Tyneside within the hope of studying from and finally changing Kieran Trippier.
A couple of years on, it hasn’t actually gone to play for the right-back, who’s receiving pelters from QPR followers after struggling to impress within the Championship.
To say it’s been a January to overlook for Ashby could be an enormous understatement, beginning with a disastrous show in QPR’s FA Cup defeat at Leicester the weekend earlier than final.
As you possibly can see through the highlights under, the defender was at fault for 3 of Leicester’s six objectives, dropping the ball in his personal half main as much as the Foxes second, failing to trace his man for his or her third and freely giving a penalty for Leicester’s fourth.
It was an FA Cup outing to overlook and noticed him dropped for QPR’s league conflict with Plymouth final weekend, however issues went from unhealthy to worse on Tuesday evening.
After one other benching, Ashby was introduced on within the seventy fifth minute by QPR boss Marti Cifuentes – then subbed off, unhurt, for Jack Colback quarter-hour later.
The last word embarrassment for any participant and one other powerful second for the Newcastle loanee, who stormed straight down the tunnel after the sub was subbed off.
After a string of poor performances, it appears QPR supporters are removed from impressed by the 23-year-old, who’s now not a teenager or Below-21 prospect.
Following disastrous appearances in opposition to Leicester and Hull final evening, we discovered these feedback:
‘Harrison Ashby, unhurt, will get hooked 15mins after approaching. The last word embarrassment for a participant, absolutely deserved, and a correct actuality examine from Marti.’
‘I’d ship him again prime instance of participant who thinks he’s higher than he’s!’
‘Straight off down the tunnel on the finish as nicely, hopefully we ship him again this week.’
‘May very nicely flip into an honest participant, however there’s a line between bravery and stupidity, which he hasn’t discovered but, and it’s costing us.’
‘Attempting to understand Ashby final evening & seen he went down the tunnel on the finish as others celebrated. He’s a legal responsibility after Leicester and now Hull the place I don’t assume I’ve seen a participant mess up each time he obtained the ball. Maybe sending him again to NUFC greatest final result?’
‘He’s so erratic…he’s completed it since day one! However as a result of they’re resulting in objectives now it’s seen. One of many worst waste of cash loans I can assume off because the Prem days…’
If issues flip bitter after his subbing final evening, I wouldn’t be shocked if Newcastle opted to chop quick his mortgage and discover him one other transfer for the second half of the season.
