Me too. I remember the crowds and how scary it was in those days. The crush was the worst I have ever been in.

Sorry dupe

Carlisle United can confirm that Villa forward Brad Young has returned to his parent club following a half-season loan stay at Brunton Park. The 18-year-old joined the Blues in the middle of August and made his debut in the 0-0 away draw at Port Vale. He bagged three goals in 20 appearances, making a total of 10 starts in all competitions. Manager Keith Millen said: “Brad is a lad I’ve enjoyed working with. He puts in the effort in training and responded well when I first came into the club. "I started him and Tristan in the first few games and he worked really hard. He struggled to score the goals, but we’ve struggled to get goals from all of our forwards this season. “I felt that I need to freshen up my front line. I couldn’t guarantee him a starting place, but that’s the same for everyone. "I spoke to Aston Villa a number of times and we discussed what was best for the player and his future. We mutually agreed that if he wasn’t going to get enough game time then it would be best for him to go back to Villa. “It’s hard for an 18-year-old lad to be so far away from home but not be playing as much as he would like, I understand that, and I wouldn’t want anyone to be up here and not happy. “We obviously wish him well. It will be a good experience for him, it’s his first loan and whether he looks back on it as a good or bad experience, he’ll definitely have learned from it. "I’m sure if he keeps working hard he’s got a bright future.”

A bit off topic but a monthly optimism gauge for each player on a monthly basis would make interesting reading. would it add a bit of balance to the nonsense on some of the player threads?

Give it to Trez!

Such a shame to see a sixteen year old child with a tattoo. Illegal for it to be done in the uk unless you are over 18. Perhaps he had it done in Spain. I hope that he receives a lot of guidance and support from the club so that he becomes a role model for those less gifted and makes better choices than other young millionaire teenagers have in the past. In fact quite a few connected to our club. On the footballing front I hope he fulfils the talent he obviously has and wish him all the best.

Went to the Walsall V Carlisle game and saw Mckirdy play. He was very influential. Always looked dangerous and likely to beat a man. He was brought down after breaking through leading to a sending off and scored the winning goal with a looping header in extra time to win the match. I think he’s capable of playing at a higher standard.

Made a couple of bad mistakes but I still thought he was immense and battled for every ball against tough opponents. His distribution gives us options with long balls we haven’t always had.

Not quite there yet, but yesterday was a tough one and I think he and El ghazi both battled hard with litttle success. Thought his assist was magnificent. He hadn’t given it up as the Wednesday defender had and that attitude will serve him well.

Watched this in amongst the home fans with my friend who lives in Sheffield and is a Wednesday season ticket holder. I and they thought the Villa support was fantastic. Wednesday were a tough team to beat and I would have been delighted to have drawn 1-1. i thought the injuries played a big part in this game. If Hause had not gone off I don’t think we would have given them so many second half chances and if Bannan hadn’t gone off we may not have got up the field so well at the end. This was the first game I’ve seen live since our run started and was really impressed with the strength in central defence, the energy of McGinn and the overall work rate of the team. Some of the fear has gone and players have started to play balls into forward spaces rather than pass sideways. we now also have a lot of players who can score goals for us. good game to watch and the right result

Some really useful spreadsheets on this topic. Can we have them posted on the main site? It would be Interesting to see what actually happens in the next 6 matches to all the sides. I’m a spreadsheet nut too! Maybe we should get out more?

Come on man. This is a fan forum. Where are the four letter words? Where are the inarticulate ravings? Are you still sober? This is far too erudite! Any more like this and I will report the post!

I think his work rate and speed at closing down defenders was very valuable. At this level putting defenders under pressure causes them to make mistakes and turn over possession. I don’t see us pressing and getting the ball back as quickly lately. We give the opposition too much time and space. Our slow build up play and poor passing usually sideways didn’t help him. we now have lots of forwards who have all to play for. can’t wait to see who takes their opportunities.

I threw the cabbage! oh and I am Spartacus!
