Portsmouth goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown has admitted he is not happy playing a bit-part role at the club and will consider his future at the end of the season. [LNB]Ashdown made his sixth appearance of the season against Blackburn on Saturday, keeping a clean sheet in a 0-0 draw, which maintains Pompey's Premier League status for at least another week. [LNB]Since signing from Reading in 2004, Ashdown has played just 51 times for the first team - a number he isn't content with. [LNB] Clean sheet: Ashdown has played just six games for Pompey this season [LNB] 'Coming in and playing one game here and one game there is no good to anyone,' said Ashdown. [LNB]'It's all right for a striker, but for a goalkeeper it's not ideal.You need to be playing consistently to improve and that's what I'mgoing to be doing next season. 'I've had enough of playing a bit part.'[LNB]However Ashdown concedes his future will weigh heavily on David James, who is set to quit Fratton Park at the end of the season.[LNB] 'Whether it is here depends on whether David James stays or the club goes down - many things really.[LNB] 'I'm 29 now and out of contract in the summer. The club have got toget a buyer and then we'll sit down and talk. I'd like to stay.[LNB] 'I love the place, of course I'd love to, but it's going to be abig decision in the summer because I definitely want to be playing.'
