Home is Huddersfield. Ireland is just where I choose to live. Had to have a smile at that. I still call Dewsbury home, even though I haven't lived there, or in England, for 44 years.

Aye, coming up on 30 years here for me. Still get emotional in my stomach when I see the Pennine moors from my car or on the train, when I hit Stalybridge I start to get a tingle of excitement.

My points of reference, when I’ve been away is when , on the M62 near Outlane, you can see Emley Moor mast and Castle Hill in the same view.

Love going through the Colne Valley from Marsden on the train, you dont appreciate it really until you leave.

Probably, but his travails should tell us exactly why we need to bring in a more senior goalkeeper. Being pitched in at the deep end after a positive start is what wrecked his confidence. Biolkapic looks a decent prospect, but we can't rely on him for half a season if needed when it's make or break. Very different from when Smithies first broke in - we weren't going up, we weren't going down, and it was the perfect chance to bed in a prospect.

Years ago I worked in the midlands and came back to Huddersfield on the train from Birmingham. The quickest route to Stockport change and get a very local line to Stalybridge (a quick pint on the station) and change again to Huddersfield. When pulling out of the tunnel and comming along the Colne Valley my heart used to lift, but somehow I have not lived in Huddersfield for years now.

Agree we need an experienced keeper, but we know we have a capable back up.

I assume you're asking this tongue in cheek. Although in all seriousness his presence in the squad will prevent us using an emergency loan to replace Nicholls. It's about time we released Schofield. Decent shot stopper but he will never be even National League North standard under the high ball

It’s like a look back to the days of the Industrial Revolution - the old mills and millworkers cottages stretching across the valley. For all its faults, there really is no finer place to live in my opinion.

I left to the North Lakes and do not miss the Colne Valley and beyond one bit. Not even the views.

I think Schofield is the perfect example of why we can't afford not to bring in an experienced keeper. Regardless of how good Bilokapic (or Chapman!) might one day become.
Schofield started out pretty well. Looked fairly assured when he first got the jersey and pulled off some great saves. Then he had that absolute howler Vs Watford and needed to be brought out of the limelight. Unfortunately the only other options were Poppadom Hands (unequivocally the worst* professional goalkeeper I have ever seen) or the Canadian guy who wasn't even good enough to displace him. So he kept being put out there and it utterly destroyed the confidence of someone who might well have made the grade.
* And I've seen both Mark Prudhoe and Tim Clarke.

I'm a big Carlos fan, but he destroyed Schofield's confidence. Allegedly he went absolutely beserk at him at half time in that Watford game, to the point where players and other staff stepped in. He also made a lot of public references to being forced to change the way we played due to Schofield being bad with his feet, which, although true, is terrible man management and no way to treat a young player chucked in at the deep end. It's the only time he ever dug out a player in public from what I remember.

Darlow on huge wage at NUFC , hard deal to do Darlow might be on big wages, but if Daniels is the best we can do .Then we might aswell not bother getting a keeper in, he is thrid choice at Boro for a reason, getting a third choice keeper, from a team in the same league is nto what we need at all.

Daniels may be magic, but most on this board would probably like him "not a lot".

It's the only time he ever dug out a player in public from what I remember. Sounds about right. I was a big Carlos fan too and that's why he's a good coach. I can understand him losing his temper at some of the stuff Schofield did in his brief time with us, I used to be exasperated by Schofield too. He destroyed his own confidence through poor concentration levels. It makes me feel old and disenfranchised in a way, to see it being such a crime nowadays to give someone a bollocking for fucking up. It wasn't like that when I was younger, work, school, football pitch, if you messed up you were told about it in such a way you remembered and ensured you didn't make the same mistake twice. I was thoroughly pissed off by a player yesterday who made one of the worst and ineffective appearances off the subs bench I've ever witnessed but my opinions on his performance were generally viewed as 'being harsh on the lad'. I don't think some people, fans and players, fully realise we are in one hell of a relegation battle. Enough mistakes. If you aren't ready to focus and give it everything to ensure we stay in this league, better to not be involved. It's the bare minimum a coach like Carlos will ask from his players and why he's Premier league bound one way or the other.

Probably the only loan deal in history where the parent team insisted on a "cannot be recalled" clause.
