Some of those runs up the wing reminded me of a young Emile Heskey at Leicester

oh come on now. Give the guy a chance to play before writing him off.


Inevitably someone would say this without having an appreciation for just how good Heskey was a young player.

He used to be shite, but now he's all right .....

Yeah, a couple of years ago IIRC.  There was a nice story doing the rounds after he died.  They were/are big Rotherham fans and at the first match the survivor attended the away supporters started chanting 'To You...' and it got picked up by the Rotherham fans who chanted back ' To Me...'  and so it went on.  Nice gesture.

I think at one time they were honoury presidents of the club and I think Barry’s funeral was held at the New York Stadium (the name of their ground still cracks me up 😂)

Caleb has made the bench tonight Vs Barrow
Hoping he gets a little run out
Great to see players given opportunity

Lovely to hear a chorus of there's only 2 Chukwuemeka being sung when Caleb came on for Carney

Did well to help set up one of the goals before getting crunched. He looks confident enough to me, wouldn't be surprised to see him back on loan to get a bit more experience.

From what I've seen I think he needs quality coaching more than experience in the next year, looks like a very raw talent.

Gave his shirt to supporter in the crowd thought that was a nice acknowledgement to those that travelled and considering its his debut minutes and first appearance for Vila in a game too he gave his shirt away.
Nice.

Looked a good prospect. I think coaching him here in the u23s for a year see how he develops then maybe a loan to championship next season

Was a bit pissed off when he got cynically fouled just as he was about to set off on one of those runs we've seen on his highlight reel from just inside the Barrow half.  I was thinking this is his chance, then some neandethal smashed him.

I think they need a thread each. As they both played, hard to know who is being discussed!

Carney already has a thread so maybe this could just be renamed for Caleb.
