Get him in the gym and spend three months this Summer crowding his area and throwing various crosses in.

If Schofield was in goal in any game I played up front, back in my playing days, I’d have been going fucking mental at my team mates if they weren’t sticking the ball under the crossbar at every given opportunity. I’d have had a field day terrorising him all afternoon. I’m just surprised that it’s taken so long for professionals to work it out. 🤷🏻♂️

I wanna know why we signed that Canadian bloke. What a waste of a wage that was when he can't even get on the bench over poppadom hands

Nothing wrong with young goalkeepers if they are good enough ! Schofield his just not good enough !

I've definitely noticed clubs shooting from 'unlikely to score' positions against us recently, that has to be targeted. However what I find incredible is the decisive opening goal yesterday, where Blackburn *didn't* crowd Schofield, left him in a lot of space, and then floated a corner to him that is at chest height. And we end up conceding? I wonder if Clements would have stood up for him if he was the target of a half time roasting after that ? Its League 2 level proficiency to not catch that under no pressure. It was a mistake in a game littered with mistakes. I don’t think anyone’s confidence is high and he is a very young player in a pressured position. As a keeper you get picked up for every mistake, quite often because they are costly, but get very little credit for doing the job well. I think he suffers from that. If that was the only mistake in the game and we had gone on to win 3-1 it would hardly be mentioned. Oh I get that don't worry. BUT...its 0-0, in a game that nobody has taken a hold of in those opening 5 or 6 minutes...such an unforced and basic error changes the course of the whole game. Blackburn's coaching staff have highlighted Ryan as a weak link, when he gifts that to them in such a weak manner, all it does is reinforce the belief, and they go on to dominate the next 20mins of the game, bagging what's basically the game winning goal and killing the contest less than halfway through the first half. I would agree though that its Sarr's mistake and then total lack of desire to fight back, which turns it from a 2-0 or 3-1 type game into the result it ultimately ended up as...we came out quite clearly on top as the second half started, to then cock up in a way that he repeats time and again, and just half assed stroll back is frankly ridiculous...but not that unexpected, he is what he is...a decent player in league 1 mostly equates to pretty average at this level I guess.

It always make's me laugh when people say " he has made some great saves" that is his job and being a good keeper is not just about making good saves. Personally, the lad is not good enough for this level and i firmly believe his frailties are something that can not be coached in to someone, they must already have them and be made better.

I think this is a very difficult season to blood a young goalkeeper. Given how poor, and with constant changes, the rest of the defence are it is not a great platform for a young keeper. The only keeper I can remember in recent years getting good reports on here was Lossl. It is a hard position to play in a poor team. We have given the ball away so many times in midfield and defence this season plus all the players left unmarked in or around the box. Schofield has really lacked for cover and leadership around him. We may get an experienced No. 1 this summer but unless he is much better than I think we can sign he will still get slated on here.

As much for his sake as ours, he needs to go out on loan & we need to sign 2 experienced keepers in the summer.

No one will take Ryan on loan unfortunately. Nice lad, local lad but won't be playing professional football in a couple of years.

He's got a lot to learn and he might find next season he falls into a number two role but its completely barmy to suggest he won't be platying professionally in a couple of years. He's very young for a keeper. Next season is crucial for.his development....be it first team here, mentored and developed by an experienced keeper or on loan

A lot of teams do this, they put someone big on the keeper to try and restrict what they can do or intimidate them. The only way to counteract this is with a big strong keeper, but they still get restricted, or bigger players in your side to 'push back' at players trying to block the keeper, Katchunga used to do this. Some teams are very good at set pieces, we are very poor, both when attacking and defending. Lack of height and strength in the team makes us vulnerable to a well placed corner or free kick. It's a bigger problem than just the keeper. I've definitely noticed clubs shooting from 'unlikely to score' positions against us recently, that has to be targeted. However what I find incredible is the decisive opening goal yesterday, where Blackburn *didn't* crowd Schofield, left him in a lot of space, and then floated a corner to him that is at chest height. And we end up conceding? I wonder if Clements would have stood up for him if he was the target of a half time roasting after that ? Its League 2 level proficiency to not catch that under no pressure. If you want to point out individual mistakes (and yes Schofield made a hash of it) take another look at the photo..take a look at the two Blackburn players between our keeper and the corner taker, and tell me who was marking them. They're both in the sightline of our keeper (there might even have been a touch) but where are our markers ? Collective responsibility.

Westwood number one and Schofield stands in when he's injured... fighting for the number one jersey and less pressure in that he has to keep every match regardless of his howlers.

The lad needs to get in the gym and build some muscle up. Remind me of when De Gea signed for Man Utd was a good shot stopper but was like a little boy so got targeted from set pieces and crossed. If Schofield just builds up a bit of muscle and gets a bigger frame then he won’t be a bullied when coming to claim the ball and it might increase his confidence

We won't get in an experienced ( half decent) keeper because we won't pay the wages.

At full time yesterday Westwood was wandering around with a massive smile on his face joking with the Forest players. This at a time when it looked like Wednesday had just been relegated.
Wouldn't want him here. This summer is our opportunity to get rid of players like that, not bring more of them in

Unless he seriously improves the command of his area and decision making then he’s got not chance of a future professional career. There’s little evidence of improvement on either of these aspects so far, in fact he’s probably got worse and now looks like a rabbit in the headlights constantly. Whether that’s down to poor coaching only time will tell. But it’s almost certainly rubbing off on the defence. As for his shot stopping, he makes some decent point black saves but yesterday’s goal is an example of several where he should have done a lot better. Distribution wise he’s ok but nothing special.

Get him on a steak diet and in the gym every day. Then spend every training session coming for crosses. I feel for the lad. The club has failed him by having two utter rubbish alternatives that meant he couldn’t be taken out of the firing line. But he’s a kid and I’m sure he’ll improve

The whole defensive unit needs a major overhaul and that includes the keeper. Need a number 1 that is far above the level of any currently in the squad. Schofield can then learn from them and warm the bench. Let at least one of the current keepers below Schofield go completely.

You could even make a case for 2 CB's, letting go of Schindler, Elphick and Keogh and keeping Sarr and Stearman as the back ups.

It was only because I was trying to be a bit realistic, I don't think Schindler wants to stay and Stearmsn probably has too much of his contract to realistically pay off. They could all go if money was no object.

Something we all could have guessed given the leaky defence in front of him, but here are the numbers. Confirms that he had an absolute baptism of fire this season and actually acquitted himself very well in terms of the saves he made. Hope he can draw some positives from it and come back next season with his chest puffed out and with more confidence in his decision making. Then we'll have a really good keeper on our hands.

I know statistics can say anything but these numbers suggest that since he came into the side he has been the 5th best goalkeeper in the Championship. I seem to remember when he first came in he made quite a few important saves that gained us vital points at the time. At QPR he did sort of spill a shot but ultimately cleared the ball with his feet - that was at 0 0 and we went on to win. We have had a number of loan keepers recently and wouldn’t say any of them are really better than RS.

In my mind that chart shows nothing. Goals against per 90 min is not a direct reflection on the keeper's performance alone. And what the hell does prevented goals mean?
