    Who's going to be the new scapegoat with both Wiseman and Kennedy out the door?

    I think it started a few weeks ago. At the end of the season, M'Voto was praised for his improved performances, but the general consensus seems to have agreed that he's gash again without him actually playing much football. I can only assume this has come about due to the departure of Dawson and the inevitable departure of Kennedy.

    I just hope it's not one of the academy lads.

    Now I think we both already know who and it is largely undeserved on this occasion....

    Both Danny and Ben asked that fans understand that young players will make mistakes, and they hoped the fans would realise this, and be tolerant.

    Not really. Over the course of the season he was poor but he did have a good spell March - April time.

    Hopefully the drop in quality in league one will mean he plays consistently better. He's certainly not been a scapegoat.

    In fact if anything he got off lightly as some of his performances around September-October time in 2013 were worse than anything I've seen from Wiseman, McNulty, Kennedy etc

    I don't really believe in this scapegoat nonsense.

    I can't think of a decent player that's had unwarranted abuse.

    Frimpong, Shea, McCourt, Dawson, M'Voto, Wiseman, Kennedy, McNulty all players that have had poor spells & took flak

    They have two hopes of that happening.

    The new scapegoat will be branded by the end of August.

    No but he didn't deserve the abuse he got. Criticism is fine but it was constant and went beyond the pale at times with TK.

    Why do we need a scapegoat? Why can't we "support" them all for a change?

    Why if a player is constantly crap and gets criticised do they then become labeled a scapegoat, why can't we just say he is ****.

    Danny Rose, Lazarus, Digby, Smith are all in the firing line because as usual if youre form Barnsley you get slated unless you're a world beater like Stones.

    I think instead of players we should start to pick on the BBS'er with the highest post count

    Hound them out of the club.......
    No mercy.......
