We’re just four matches into Chad Ashton’s managerial stint, and while we don’t know whether he’ll ultimately shed that interim tag, in just a short amount of time it’s clear that he’s made a difference in D.C. United’s on-field production. Despite losing his first game as manager, Ashton’s four-game haul of seven points is two points better than any four-game run that Ben Olsen’s United had this season. And while we have but a small sample size of Ashton results, the ways in which the team has improved under his command, beyond scoring 37% of this season’s goals in 20% of the games, have already become clear.
