I think he wanted to bring him on but he also had to take Bowler off.
Bowler and Ng had been booked and that was the side of the pitch that Birmingham were targeting. Couldn’t risk a red card for Bowler, who can make rash challenges.
He also knew Meite didn’t have the energy to play longer. Couldn’t risk having two inexperienced players in the front three (Ashford and Tanner).
So his best option, if he wanted to bring Ashford on, was to play him out wide.
