Quote: Rogues Gallery "But Ainscough doesn't have fantastic pace. His real quality is that he his strong and elusive, certainly not quick.
He wouldn't have caught McGuire last week.'"
Your right rogues in saying that he doesn't have genuine pace in the way of being the fastest on the pitch, but his ability to accelerate from a standing start is unquestionable, and I dare say he will probably be the quickest in the team over a distance of 30 metres or so, plus like you mention his strength and ability to shrug of tackles are his plus points.
