Iโm not sure that comedy show would cover the wages of the players already signed, and those returning from loans. I would not like to guess how much the wage bill has gone up by, but someone has had to fund this increase. In what way is that a comedy show?

Think everyone can calm down Schofield wasn't playing at Hibs so we are sending him back out on loan to a team that he will get game time with.
We are trying our hardest to get a GK in before the deadline.

I'm assuming that we will bring in another keeper by 11pm Tuesday.
I'm also assuming that Bilo will be between the sticks tomorrow (although Schofield may well be on the bench).
Recalling Schofield from Hibs is a good move. If we fail to bring in anyone else by the time the window closes then the bad move was in failing to bring anyone else in - not recalling someone from a loan that was doing nothing for him.

Schofield is out of contract in June. He obviously isn't getting an extension and he obviously hasn't been brought back here to play. It will hopefully help the lad getting him out to a club he can play at to try and get himself fixed up with a club for next season.
The meltdown has been a good laugh anyway!

As many are, I am sincerely hoping that Schofield isnโt seen as being part of the goalkeeping solution here. Like many though, I fear that he is.

Its sad how weve written a kid off when really hes just a baby in goalkeeper terms... especially when hes one of 'our own' and a big Town fan. yeah he made errors of judgement but he also made a lot of extremely good saves.
Ill be glad if he doesnt play for us again because the pressure he'd be under would be immense and the first error he made, even a slight one, would have howls of derision coming at him from the stands. Hopefully he can get out on another loan, actually play and earn himself a contract as someones first choice.

Is Schofield first choice? Surely not!!!

Simon Eastwood ended up having a steady career and he was woeful at Schofields age. There is still a good chance he'll forge a career as a pro

Who is this experienced alternative if Bilo needs taking out of the limelight? Schofield. As in, he's played more games than Bilo as opposed to being objectively an experienced option. Then God help us

Not sure, but the window closes soon and I worry we're leaving it latte to get this position filled. I think its bean made more difficult now we've signed Knockeart; playing him along with Camara and Diarra, we'll want a keeper comfortable with a French Press.

Yes he's young compared to when goalkeepers come into their prime, but how many now first-team/choice goalkeepers were still just making substitute appearances (or in Schofield's case, not) at the age of 23? And wouldn't be able to get into the first team of a Scottish Premier League team? Done a quick check at the top end of our table... Burnley - Arijanet Muric - only 24 and already played regularly in the Dutch and Turkish top divisions Sheff Utd - Wes Foderingham - 32 but at 23/24 was regular starter at the top end of League One Watford - Daniel Bachmann - 28 but at 23/24 was back-up in the Premier League Blackburn - Thomas Kaminski - 30 but at 23/24 was first choice in Belgian top division Schofield is not even close to where these keepers were at the same age so he's either going to be a very late bloomer or does not have a career in the football league.

Maybe. At the same age Lee Nichols had had 3 loan spells away from Wigan without making a single appearance on any of them and then a loan at Accrington where he'd played 9 times and had just had his first break through season as a first choice with Northampton in the 4th tier. Schofields played a very similar number of first class games as Nicholls had at this stage. Schofield needs to improve certain parts off his game, but some are very good.. if he can improve then I think he can have a decent career as a pro.

I would not like to guess how much the wage bill has gone up by, but someone has had to fund this increase. In what way is that a comedy show? I am assuming this was a reply to my comment. It was documented on one of the fan podcasts that our wage bill was around the ยฃ8m/year mark (feel free to correct me someone if I'm wrong). This would be comfortably bottom 3 and highly likely to be the lowest wage bill in the entire division. I doubt bringing in a few loans on parent club subsidised wages is going to have much of an impact on the wage bill league. We were a Premier League team a few years ago and were told that would set this club up to challenge in the top half of this league for decades to come if we were to get relegated and we now pay our squad less than teams who were in League One last season. Furthermore we have had an excellent season last year overwhelmingly due to a top class coach who resigned because we sold all our best players and failed to bring in a single one of his targets, hired 2 complete novice coaches the first of which lasted 9 games and the second of which has offered little improvement. We've got to January with the real and serious threat of being relegated so we sign another player who is out injured for a number of weeks, let one of our best players (top assists & chances created this term) go to a promotion hopeful on loan and brought back a keeper that is a lovely lad but clearly should be nowhere near a championship squad come back to backfill a place vacated by the championship goalkeeper of the season from last year. Not sure what part of that isn't a comedy show regardless of the wage bill going up to possibly rival Wigan's.

I take your point, and there are exceptions to the rule, but Nicolls was only 19 when he joined Northampton and played every game that season including the play-off final. 3-4 years younger than Schofield is now.

To be fair Schofield may as well be sat on our bench rather than sat on Hibs'. agree......simply as backup We can't risk having someone so shit in goals. We need a better keeper on the bench than Schofield.

Hoping... no... PRAYING... that Scofields recall is to sort the lad out with another club. I'd take Danny Scofield in nets over Shaggy.
The social media team love a highlight reel, and his video says it all.
Surely everyone from management, staff, to recruitment and the bovril vendor have seen it.
Nightmare fuel!

Nicholls only played 9 games in the two season after that, so by the time he was Schofields age now, he actually had a similar appearance record, though almost all his games were at a lower level. Think Schofields problem, like a lot of keepers, is he needs to play to improve the weak parts of his game, and getting gametime is difficult. Doubt hes got anything from the loan at Hibs. I think his chance at town has gone now.. the support just wont have him...so hopefully hell get a loan at a L2 club or maybe even National league and build his career from there.
