That was a great goal in my opinion. I would have just blasted it against the defender but he took an extra touch and sidestepped him. I am assuming it was deliberate! Super composure. https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12032039/barnsley-1-0-nottingham-forest
Good ball in by Cauley too. Looked up and picked Brown out. Another time Schmidt is in the right place to score. He doesn’t have many touches but when he does.
I've been very critical of Schmidt. And stand by the comments I've made about how ineffective and anonymous he has been in games. BUT I have to admit that having watched it multiple times I do think it was deliberate - excellent play and finish. Well done Patrick and I'll start to change my mind if you score a hat-trick on Wednesday!
Was a composed finish off balance. Maybe that's why we paid a rumoured 720k for him. I'll take that everyday of the week, thank you Patrik.
He's clearly a very good finisher. Been pretty anonymous in most cameo appearances but it can't help getting 5 or 10 mins every now and again when we are losing. Considering that and the fact he has won us 6 points and scored three very well taken goals, I believe that some of the stick he receives is way over the top. He's also only 21 years old.
On the thread earlier today on team selection , I actually included him my eleven , purely because I think the lad is a finnisher & as we are at the point of no return it might be worth playing someone with a point to prove & as none of our other strikers were scoring, he was worth a punt . I also believe that if we drop then he will have a major role to play next season & with the drop in class he might thrive in division one but we will see
415 minutes playing time all season Less than 5 full games 3 goals (2 in 93rd minute) earning extra 4 points
Said before, I think in the right team he will score goals, I just don’t think our formation works for him.
I said that on another thread but as was pointed out to me, we were getting draws anyway so his goals earned an extra 4 points
