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. Your is accepted graciously

No, my ideal would be Lossl on loan, Hamer no 2 & Schofield out on loan. If no GK comes in I'd have Schofield no 1 but would not be confident about it. Lol. I’d find another sport if I were you Don't worry about it some people see things before others ... have you thought about tennis?

The goalkeeping situation typifies everything that is wrong with the club. It isn't Schofield's fault that he is nowhere near the standard required at this level of football. He is just the latest example of Huddersfield Town's time-honoured tradition of going for the cheap option wherever possible. If we think Schofield lacks confidence now, wait until he has to perform in front of a crowd - admittedly probably not much of one.

I think the biggest weak link at the back is Sarr..he's unreliable, erratic and for their goal was nowhere near that corner..he's what 6ft 3"..he should be winning all the headers but he was, once again, awol. Why Carlos chooses to make him the 'playmaker' in some kind of comedy beckanbaur role I've no idea.. Watching him standing with his foot on the ball has me screaming at the TV screen, and his tendancy to run too far with the ball then pass to opponents , game after game, does my head in. yes he makes the odd goal line clearance but can equally give away penalties, put Schofield under pressure with needless back passes and generally just fanny's around too much.

Your is accepted graciously Yeah Schofield has needed taking out of the firing line for a while now. We've had 3 alternatives that range from uninspiring to shite. I still maintain that he's not worse than Hamer though.

It was bordering on negligence to start the season with Hamer as first choice. He’d been abysmal and seemingly stated he didn’t want to come back to play for the club, which would have suited most of us. The mistake was not getting rid in summer and bringing someone else in. There’s millions out there (Carlos and the coaches must know a reasonable one somewhere - in Spain, reserve football, a decent loan, whatever). To end up with an inexperienced lad, someone released from Fleetwood and a keeper who had an awful confidence-sapping season is pretty poor.

He does seem to totally misjudge the urgency of things at times, it's all very bizarre. I'd like to see Crichlow-Noble get a chance there, he looks a better 'footballer' to me - but I doubt its going to happen unless Sarr is injured or suspended. I'd also be interested in hearing why Pat Jones never makes the match day squad, given how good he looked when he has briefly played, looks by far the best of the identikit selection of "tidy, run around a lot but probably won't ever actually do much" young lads we have to me.

Lossl playing in a pub league and was on similar wages to our other useless players. If you read through the replies I stated hamer was perfectly acceptable as no2 to come in if needed. Did I sell hamer and leave a kid as our only option due the the Man U lad being so crap. Then sign another goalie who must be just as bad as the Man U lad??

Just looking at the 'back four' combinations Schofield has played behind. For a young lad in his first season this must be really hard, especially when there are very few leaders in this bunch. He could really have done with a solid, established, back four with at least one person organising:
Wycombe - Toffolo, Sarr, Schindler (c) (Stearman, 46’), Bacuna
Middlesbrough - Toffolo, Sarr, Stearman (Edmonds-Green, 29’), Bacuna (Duhaney, 78’)
Bournemouth (second half) - Toffolo (c) (Crichlow, 72’), Sarr, Edmonds-Green, Rowe
Coventry - Toffolo, Sarr, Edmonds-Green, Pipa
Watford - Crichlow, Vallejo, Edmonds-Green; Toffolo , Pipa (not sure where Pipa played)
Millwall - Toffolo (c), Sarr, Keogh, Pipa
Wycombe - O’Brien, Sarr, Keogh, Pipa
Swansea - Sarr, Keogh (Stearman, 84’), Vallejo; Rowe (Brown, 84’)
Derby - Sarr, Keogh, Duhaney; Rowe (Brown, 75’)
Preston - Pipa, Sarr, Keogh (Stearman, 75’), Edmonds-Green (Rowe, 46’)
Birmingham - Pipa, Sarr, Stearman, Edmonds-Green

Great shot stopper but currently the rest of his game is miles from the level required in the championship

It is not great for the back four either though when your keeper seeks to volley crosses into his six yard box.

One of the best things the club could do at the moment would be to ban all of them from using social media IMO.

Don't know what happened to the sort of unwritten rule of not tagging players in shit posted on social media. Be pissed off with some of the performances but honestly what help is shit like this gonna do...? Like previous poster says, probably best for some of them to come off it completely.

Agreed, this is rank bad form from some of our supporters. So much shit slinging at the minute and so much pent up anger. I feel sorry for Schofield after the latest round of pile ons.

Nowt wrong with it, but the red lights are shining bright with regard to your football knowledge. Lots of us on DATM knew he was shite, but some of you held a torch until the bitter end. Thankfully now - it's plain to see he's no more than a peripheral player on a second tier squad in a decent league (England, Spain, Germany) - just like he was at his time with Town. Combine that with being a bad apple on the field with his awful theatrics and seemingly destructive in the changing room. I can't think of a player I've more disliked in the last ten years of being a Town fan.

He may be a young lad lacking confidence..
But he’s foookin terrible..
Sorry if it hurts his feelings..
But him in goals is like starting the game minus 1..
Dracula was more confident with crosses..
Put the poor lad out of his misery ffs Carlos..
I’d rather have the hologram man in ..

VLP got me off my seat from the first time he touched the ball as a Town player and blitzed past his full back. His 15 minutes of tormenting Bruno v Brighton remains my favourite and most exciting passage of play of the last 5 years. Sadly, excitement does not seem to be a staple requirement of our play anymore.
