RS often reminds me of when Joel Coleman played in the 1st team. Likely to save the occasional shot but otherwise a liability. He’s now warming the bench at Rochdale probably the standard RS should be playing. As many have said, his ineptitude is not entirely his own fault as he has been constantly put in the firing line when the lad clearly is not good enough and possibly may never be. A new, experienced at Championship level keeper should have been one of the top priorities over the summer but like all the other signings Town shopped in the Charity shops so got what they paid for. RS is not the problem he is part of a much bigger problem at HTFC which will not change or improve as long as the club retain the same recruitment team, coaching staff and Chairman.

People keep saying “there’s talent there” etc etc, I just don’t see it. He’s absolutely terrible at every aspect of being a goalkeeper, I’m not buying the “oh he’s a good shot stopper”, that’s the basic and natural instinct of any goalkeeper surely? Can’t blame the club for putting him in this position, it’s his job, if he doesn’t like it he can end his contract by mutual consent and go work in a warehouse somewhere!

I'd be trying to sign an emergency loan for tomorrow night if Nichols is out. Or an ordinary loan.
Anything to take Schofield out of the team.
If it's the same line up as Saturday, it's hard to see anything other than another defeat...

What seems to have gone unnoticed during the cock-up of the first Fulham goal is the absolute lazy attitude of both Sarr and another Town defender (?) who both amble slowly back towards the goal whilst the two Fulham forwards race forward at full pelt to take advantage of Schofield's error.

Maybe they were expecting a professional goalkeeper to smack the ball downfield or out for a throw rather than shanking it straight at a bloke who was falling on his arse

We had a perfectly good enough bottom 6 championship goalkeeper in Hamer but decided to get rid.

Schofield at least was trying, they seemed to not give a shit. and got away with it because the focus was all on Schofield.

All ours seemingly had issues with kicking and corners/catching

Schofield is good at the it’s a goal oh no what a save type of goalkeeping but his positioning is poor reading of the game is poor the bread and butter goalkeeping that Nicholls is good at not spectacular but safe

Is this the fault of the trainers?

He didn’t make great saves. The ones that win you points I thought he was alright tbh. Done well too at the Euros. Did ok at shot stopping in the play Offs though....I get your point though

What’s Kieran O’Regan doing these days?

Every time I see it back it gets worse that goal. The ball going out on the half way line really wouldn’t have caused any problems would it. Yet it’s some how booted back to the keeper, who makes a right fuck up of it (granted ball is out of play) in the path of Mitrovic who has fallen on his arse and still manages to score. Couldn’t make it up.

I’d kill for an ‘ok’ keeper at the moment I reckon this other lad might be good. Young Ryan might make it but for his own sake he needs taking out of the firing line

Yep, it was their fault he fucked up yet again Our defenders should be able to rely on their goalkeeper to be able to do the basics at least. We really need all of these self inflicted disasters at the moment!
