Tielemans63 Posted 23 August 2012 Share Posted 23 August 2012 Matty James has the makings of a fine scapegoat. Bought by Pearson, has taken more than 10 minutes to settle in and has only managed the one goal in 3 appearances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theessexfox Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 At the Charlton game: Beckford narrowly shoots over: Booing, abuse, etc Nugent narrowly shoots over: Cheering, singing his name, etc I know that on Tuesday the fans' annoyance with Beckford gradually built up, due to him not challenging for most headers, sometimes not working hard, some poor touches and finishing. Also, if he were a proper poacher, then he would've bagged a couple of goals, as there were a few half-chances in the six-yard box that a poacher like Defoe would've snatched. However, the fact remains that the difference in reaction between the same sort of shot and miss from Beckford and Nugent is ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leicesterlad1989 Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 Maybe Beckford needs to put on a cheesy grin all game? Probably make things worse - "Fans" will be antagonised by this, as they will see it as him being happy that he is not putting any effort in. He could score a hattrick of 20 yard headers, with the biggest grin on his face and people will still remember the chance he missed earlier in the game.

????? Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 i belive that Andy King is turning into a bit of a scapegoatover the last year, with comments like 'he is a pasenger' and 'Mr. Anonymous' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apollo Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 Has to be Gally for me. If he played like Marshall did on Tuesday, he would have been booed off the pitch. He was poor last season, no denying that, but I don't think he is a terrible player at all, as every man and his dog calls him nowadays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilbo Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 For me it's Beckford followed by Pearson, both of these can't do right. Beckford shoots *goes over* "**** sake beckford your shit" Beckford doesn't shoot he passes "****ing shoot beckford" Don't even get me started on Pearson... I think seeing who everyone votes for will emphasise that the scapegoating is getting ridiculous, we play as a team, we lose as a team. Just for the picky ones: Dyer- "Can't cross or score, only has pace" Beckford- Above Pearson- "Route one football" Moore- "the guy can't defend" Vardy- "He hasn't done much up front really" Kasper- "i'm unsure of mike stowells influence on me, looks dodgy" Wellens-..... Gally- "you're shit!" Great post. I can't stand all this constant slagging off of the team we're all supposed to support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 The biggest GOAT is is Pearson, if you want my opinion, which I am sure you do not. Hard cheese chaps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmayne7 Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 I don't really see how Beckford is a Scapegoat? The fact is that he has performed way under the level expected, and hasn't ever looked that bothered thus criticism is entirely fair. People have perhaps been over the top with the criticism but that's not what scapegoating is. Wellens is much more of a scapegoat as is Pearson.

1884Fox Posted 24 August 2012 Share Posted 24 August 2012 It's all Wellens fault. In fact I now blame him for anything that goes wrong even if it ha nothing to do with football. I happen to do the exact same thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People have perhaps been over the top with the criticism but that's not what scapegoating is. Wellens is much more of a scapegoat as is Pearson. Exactly! I don't think a lot of the people who've voted for Beckford know what a scapegoat is. Beckford might get criticised the most, but I've never heard or read anything unjustly blaming him for the club's situation. Beckford actually gets a lot of praise, even though he still hasn't really hit form since he's been here. I think a lot of fans have faith that he'll turn out to be a good player, which is really strange, considering how often he plays badly, and how long most players get before the fans form an opinion of them. Biggest scapegoat is Wellens. Some people still aren't sick of the jokes about blaming him for everything. Gallagher and Pearson are 2nd and 3rd.
