Can't fault his performance on the pitch but lost all respect for him when I saw him not pick his dog shit up when he was out walking his mutt. What condition are his dustbins in?

Back in August I was pinning my hopes on that guy who struggled in the Edinburgh & District Pub League being a lot less shit than Hearts fans were saying, because we all knew how shit Hamer was & Schofield definitely needed another year or two on loan before challenging for a regular starting berth.
Hamer's spectacular improvement has been one of the stories of the season - but Schofield is eclipsing him. Absolutely brilliant to see. There are still a few aspects to his game that need polishing up, but potentially he could be the best keeper to come through our youth system in my lifetime.

Nothing to do with Schofield, but I just thought I’d drop this in here.
They don’t make keepers like they used too...

The nicest thing to see about that video was that not one of them was suddenly surrounded by half a dozen teammates chest bumping them or smothering them with hugs and high fives after making those saves.

No, the nicest thing about that video was seeing Jim Montgomery's spectacular save again. Never tire of that one...

I'm going to buck the trend here & I desperately hope he proves me wrong now but as fantastic a shot stopper as he is (& no matter what anyone says, if there's a better save made in England this season than his last night, I'd be surprised) I think he lacks confidence/strength to command his area & let's face it, we are in a league where set pieces are vital.
I'm certainly not ruling him out & I believe he will develop into a terrific GK but, currently, he is not (IMO) a safe enough option to be our no 1.

You're backing Hamer over Schofield as the safe/commanding option?! Look at the stats for goals conceded to see who is better.

There was a couple in there from Pat Jennings, a keeper who mastered the art of catching crosses one handed. The main difference between the keepers then and now is that keepers of yesteryear used to command their area at lot better, whereas so many of today's are often glued to the line.

The more he plays the better he'll get. Young keepers need game time and match experience. He will have learnt from his Barnsley error and we move on. He's got the shirt now in my opinion.

I'd definitely keep Schofield in as our Number 1 at the moment, but at the same time he IS still young, and he WILL make mistakes. It's good to know that Hamer's improvement not only puts pressure on RS for the shirt, but also relieves pressure in that if he needs a bit of time out of the limelight he's not going to be forced to go out there because there isn't a credible alternative. From thinking we'd started the season without a single Championship standard/Championship ready keeper in the squad, it's a huge relief to know that we have 2.

We’d never of called that one at the start of the season.

Hamer is out of contract in the summer and won't be here next season. As good as he's been he's also not going to be the difference between us finishing 8th or 16th.
In a season where we are fairly confident that we won't be involved in a relegation fight, now is 100% the time to give Schofield the game time he needs to make mistakes and learn from them without the worry of major consequences.
Already he looks to be growing in confidence in terms of commanding his box and becoming more vocal, there were a couple of occasions last night where you could see him scream for his defender to leave it for him.

There was as save in the second half, which is easy to overlook as there was an infringement in the build-up hence the goal would not have counted but it was a reflex save from (I think) a close range header that may have come of Ryan’s head - we have an outstanding shot stopper on our hands and the perfect coach to improve on his all round game 👊👊

Didn't put a foot wrong and should keep his place now even if Hamer is fit. Gonna be a hell of a keeper once he bulks up a bit more. Will that really be necessary for his development? David de Gea does all right with a similar build.

If no GK comes in I'd have Schofield no 1 but would not be confident about it. I think it was always the plan for Schofield to be No.1 this season but his pre-season injury put paid to that early on. There is no way he will go out on loan. Lossl also has his weaknesses and who have we had on loan that is better than Schofield in nets? Possibly Steve Harper? This lad will only get better as he gets games.

And yet the penalty saves in that would maybe have all been made to be retaken by VAR.
