Dean Ashton is happy with the way he is working back to full fitness.
Ashton, easing his way back after breaking an ankle while training with England before the start of last season, had two shots blocked in yesterday's 1-1 draw with Wigan when coming on just after the hour and said: "It is special to hear the fans chanting your name when you are warming up and I'm available now to start.
"I can't wait to cut loose because it is difficult to make an impact coming on from the bench."
