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. You'd hope he knows better than to pay any attention to what a shit Olly Murs lookalike thinks.

What’s wrong with that? VLP was my favourite player too. 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. There's a massive difference between someone's favourite player and someone they think is the best player. Not to mention the FACT he was a massive part of us getting to the Premier League. Weird to say you're thankful he's no more than a peripheral 2nd tier player now, does it matter and why would you be thankful? Not heard anything about him being disruptive in the changing room, no doubt someone mentioned it once from nowhere and it got repeated until it was Datm fact.

This sort of shit is embarrassing. The lad is struggling and needs a break from the side but pricks like this are hardly going to help him.

I see a common thread here - those that loved VLP think Schofield is shite. Your football knowledge is so far ahead of ours that you rate our keeper. I'm not bigging up my own football knowledge. I'm doubting your credentials to slate a young lad who's performed well at every level so far in his career.

We were fooookin awesome that 1st half against Brighton tho.. Passion.. Effort.. Skill.. Commitment.. Good I miss those times.. 🥴 Exactly Drum. It was as close to perfect a half as you can get. I wasn't VLP's biggest fan but how Bruno wasn't either sent off or subbed in that 15 mins, I'll never know

He created so much bad blood with the FA refs that DW had a breakdown after the game away at Cardiff the following season. Anyway... back to Scoffers.... give the lad a break. If we go down this year, it won't be because of him.

It's no coincidence he's dropped off in performance since Hamer left, none of these issues he's having currently were as apparent as when we had a credible alternative to him. If VLP had a final ball he'd have been a mid table Premier League standard winger. His dribbling and defensive work was as good as any town winger in the last 20 years imo.

Read the earlier posts on this thread. Most comments were along the lines of he's the best thing since sliced bread.
A few weeks later some are acting as if he's mouldy bread.
Gotta love those Town fans who blow hot and cold.
He's not the finished article but lets not destroy his confidence. We need him to be good. He needs supporters to support

I loved Mooy as much as the next person and he's the best footballer I've seen play for us and possibly will see play for us but to say 90% of our success was down to him is ridiculous. Can't count the amount of times we'd be winning by 1 goal and VLP would get the ball and run 40 or 50 yards with it winning a free kick or throw in and relieving pressure on the defence.

Along with Hef. Which bit of what I've written do you disagree with ? I disagree with all of it and cite your love of VLP as evidence your footie knowledge is suspect. So you think he's commanding, brave, happy to come for crosses and good with his feet. And you think my knowledge is suspect 🤔🤣

I'm doubting your credentials to slate a young lad who's performed well at every level so far in his career. I’m simply calling it as it is. Irrespective of what he’s achieved previously. - He’s not ready for first team Championship football. Nothing against him and I hope he makes it one day.

Two goals, three assists and a sending off for petulance that cost us a 1-0 loss away at Reading? His best period was early in the Prem season when DW got him tracking back as a wide left winger.

If you can’t handle it Stop reading social media as that is exactly what you are going to get on it... massive ups and massive downs depending on which way the wind is blowing sometimes.

He always tracked back not just early in the Greedy League. How many goals and assists did Mooy get that season. VLP was 3rd top scorer in the PL 1st season too.

Agreed, he annoyed the sh*8te out of me at times with the lack of a final ball but that was like Platini compared to some that have followed and as described he put in some hard yards in a hard-working team. VLP from 2016/17 would WALK into our current team.

And after promotion, he was playing to order. Greater emphasis on defensive work and carrying the ball upfield, at detriment to his attacking play. All of which he did to a high level. One of the first names on the team sheet for DW.

That's why he dropped off a cliff as a manager with Town then Schalke. If VLP was so good in 2017, why is he so awful now? It's not like he's old or injured.

He needs supporters to support I broadly agree with your post. To say he's sh*8te and should retire is just wrong he was playing well at the back end of the year. ....however was it really unforseeable a young keeper might have a dip in form & lose confidence? It's like being surprised Friday follows Thursday. He's no longer playing well enough to be first choice (by a long long way) & we're probably having a negative effect on his career by keeping him as first choice. It was a massive mistake not to a have a reliable(-ish) alternative.

In 18/19 when we started to struggle VLP only played a part in 5 games for us. DW's lack of trust in him (justifiable or not) was evident. Can't comment on what he's performing like now but would you disagree that the VLP from 2016/17 would improve our current team (& certainly squad)?

My whole point is that VLP's contempt of DW's faith in him is what eventually broke the man. He caught lightning in bottle for a few games early in both the promotion and first Prem seasons. Outside of that, VLP was a poor performer on the pitch and a bad influence in the dressing room. I will concede that he was immense at Hillsborough in the playoff game. That was by far and away his best game for Town. I don't use social media - could someone fill me in on what's been going on with Schofield tonight? :-)

Maybe he needs resting and the experienced keeper giving a few games as it is now a relegation fight.

Sometimes annoying but always an asset.
