It was hard to tell what actually happened at the game, it looked like it could be Schofield's fault. However, watching it back and rewinding, I think Enzio is to blame. He just gives a half arsed attempt at stopping their player. I think Schofield is blinded by our defence.
Sorry Enzio, you played well, but have got to give that extra percent more when we're in this situation. Probably down to game time as well.

2 players let him waltz by them, to get the shot in.

You are 100% correct. He simply does as little as he thinks he can get away with instead of getting closer to O'Brien and closing the gap allowing O'brien to shuffle left earlier. He has left defenders exposed on many occasions this year.
I appreciate he has attributes better used when in possession, but if we are to stay in the football league it is effort and intelligence in every part of the pitch that will save us. Pretending you are doing enough isn't enough, even at this level.

We could have tried to push him down the line I guess but lets be honest the keeper should not be getting beat from a shot from that distance when it looked like it went through his hands.
Schofield was mainly at fault but its fashionable to bash the "luxury" player.
Hall Of Fame
It didn't go through his hands at all. It went through a crowd of players and was swerving away from him. He got beat by a decent shot to be honest that he would have saw the flight late through a crowd. Better to stop the shot in the first place

Well obviously its best to stop the shot but if every footballer did that in every game it would end 0-0 !!
My opinion is Schofield should have saved it put it this way if Ross was in goal he would have been slaughtered for it.

That's what I saw too, and the players who should have stopped the chance of a shot also blocked Schofield's view.

You may well be right in expecting the keeper to stop the shot, but your argument about bashing a luxury player has no merit, Enzio simply didn't do enough, he could have done more.
What is a'luxury'player? and can we afford to carry such a player given our current predicament?
Hall Of Fame
Well luxury player is pretty much someone who fans "think" is bone idle and not put the graft in.
He maybe could have done abit more yes but his natural game is to attack its a very British thing get bodies behind the ball, defend in numbers he doesn't come from that background of coaching.
