In L1 Ajose started against Southend & Wycombe and was a sub against Posh & Luton completing 176 minutes with no assists. In cup matches he started against MK Dons, Stevenage and Mansfield completing 275 minutes with 4 assists.
Was a good assist for the goal. He does appear to spend most of his time strolling around the pitch with an occasional burst into a jog. Seems to only spring into life when the ball is delivered directly to him and appears to make little effort to get involved. I use the word appears a lot cos that’s the way I see it - others might see it differently...
He crossed it. Fosu shot, and then Stevenson tapped in from close range.
"Traditionally, assists are awarded to a player who makes the final pass or cross before a goal is scored. An assist is given even if the pass is unintentional. This means that this "pass" could be an inadvertent touch, as long as it is the final touch before the goal is scored. That is the simple explanation of what makes up a regular assist, as defined by Opta."

Lancs does not need to answer to Opta, he has his own views he has put previously (Not being sarcastic , just i know LL has explained himself a few times before)

We need the "Dubious Assist panel" to intervene on this one
Thanks Jonnybev, OPTA does not involve itself in such minor levels as L1, or rather I can't find their involvement and as JB says I do it by my rules!
However I shall again look at the "highlights" and if it is as Ben says then I will change it to Fosu, although I do rather like the idea of Ajose with lots of assists but unable to score a goal

Edit looking at the last league statbank he played against Peterbrough, Southend and Wycombe.
In cup matches he started against MK Dons, Stevenage and Mansfield completing 275 minutes with 4 assists.
Very unfair imo.
