Old news this, however- http://www.yorkpress.co.uk/sport/11...h_Carson_facing_nine_months_on_the_sidelines/ Real shame how his career is panning out. From what I gather, he'd played well for York this season, including that lovely goal vs Bristol Rovers in the cup. Really think had he possessed stronger mental attributes/avoided the distractions young footballers face he would have been a very promising player for us potentially for years to come.
I agree perhaps a case of too much too soon. Really did look a good player, probably the best young winger i'd seen at the club and even in his fleeting appearences towards the end I always though he looked half decent. That 18-23 is really crucial for player development IMO and far too many don't progress whether that be due to poor management, an unstable environment due to constantly changing managers, not getting enough first team football or getting too much too soon.
