Some of our fans with their deep-rooted loser mentality seem to believe that to round, en masse, on a shit player is to make him a scapegoat. The inference being that the opprobrium is unfair and unwarranted and that the motivation for the attacks is simply that mean fans have some odd need to single out one player for abuse at all times. That they’re needlessly spiteful. This is another idiotic and limp-wristed attempt to defend shit players. ‘He’s being used as a scapegoat’ can be filed with ‘yeh but he tries hard’, ‘he’s a unit’ and ‘he’s a character in the dressing room’ in the drawer marked ‘Excuses For Losers’.
If a player is below the standard required then it’s perfectly natural, for the fan who wants his club to push on, to want to look to upgrade on said shitpile. It’s counter-productive to find excuses to defend him. It’s not ‘spiteful’ or ‘disgraceful’ to want said player out of your club and at his more natural level. I’ve said it before but our club isn’t here to give less gifted, substandard players a run out and a wage packet.
This brings me on to Chicksen. He’s been copping dog’s abuse on Twitter and it’s not because we have a section of fans who need a target to release their bile toward; its because he’s shite. In fact, in a squad with a fair number of substandard players, he’s the second worst after Wright. Since Wright has been found out by HopkinS and isn’t going to play again anytime soon then Chicksen is the worst by default and by some distance.
If you, as a fan, want to win games and don’t want to watch garbage players leeching cash from your club and damaging any efforts to move upwards then it stands to reason that the best starting point to improve is to replace your worst player. Sometimes a manager has a blind spot and inexplicably continues to select a total shitbag of a player. At this point I don’t give a fuck if fans hound him out of the club. I don’t give a fuck if he feels bad or leaves the club with bad memories and a bad taste in his mouth as a result. I don’t care if the cunt hates us forever, I just want him gone.
To me none of this seems reactionary, spiteful or disgraceful; it seems like stating the obvious. Shit players create a shit team. I don’t want my team to be a shit team. I don’t want us collecting shit players. I don’t want to waste my time arguing with people who like defending shit players while we stagnate in the lower leagues. I want us to do well.
In summary, Adam Chicksen, and those like him, aren’t being used by inherently mean spirited fans as ‘scapegoats’, they’re just shit. These turds need flushing and to pretend otherwise is to gomp your way into oblivion.

Is it ever possible for a player to be majority labelled shit because he actually is shit or do shit players not exist in Gomperland?

The bantams family as a thing needs to be violently killed. Along with cliches such as being a community club and having a special bond.
I hope our fan base enjoys relegation, enjoys midweek trips to Newport and Grimsby - and you know they will, they'll come out with 'well this is real football', and 'I'd rather be with 100 real fans on an open terrace at Yeovil than with 24000 at home in the Championship'.
Because that's the reality of the situation facing us. The recent mini upturn in form deluded them into thinking everything was going to be rosy - but 5 decent performances don't undo the crippling damage of 20 dire ones.
But nah, let's feel sorry for those dragging us drown, as they laugh all the way to the bank.

Gompers are usually the ones who have fat kids who come last in school sports days or were that fat kid. I’ve often wondered whether their outlook is due to being the victims of bullying as kids. This need to protect other betas from nastiness overriding their fandom might well come from a misguided idea that they’re protecting the players in a way they wish they had been when Fat Wayne from Bell Dean used to take their dinner money every day or break their NHS specs with a dimpled fist if they were potless.

We have a strange set of fans.
In relation to our attendances I’d challenge anyone to find a less ambitious club in the land.
So many of our fans can’t spot talent. And I don’t mean in the way that opinion on some players varies - such as a Billy Clarke type, or even a James Hanson. I mean those that are patently shite - like Chicksen or Brunker. Yeah, all shits and giggles having Bruenker in the squad isn’t it? Until you find out the cunt was on 3 grand a week, stopping us from signing an actual professional fucking footballer.

The shittest player in any squad is going to be labelled the shittest player in tge squad. When they're as shit as Chicksen then they're going to get a lot of people calling them shit.
He's not a player some like and some don't, like Hanson (I always liked him, no I'm not sorry, no i don't want him back). If everyone is calling him out as shit it's because he's shit.
I agree. I'm all for him crying himself to sleep every night if it makes him get the hint and just fuck off to a club that suits his ability. Eccleshill, say.

The usual, hackneyed line trotted out here is, ‘Just get behind the lad ffs, he’ll never play well with the fans on his back’. This is, sadly, false. He’ll never play well because he’s utterly incapable of doing so at this level. Clap your hands to blisters and shout yourself hoarse, he’ll still be shit.
