Taking into account that the lad could get this thread shoved in his face.
It is clear that he was not comfortable at L1 level. But he did not put himself between the sticks. The decision to use him would have rested on many factors, none of them under his control. Rendering him entirely as a scapegoat....
He's a professional footballer, when he set off on that path he chose to put himself between the sticks, no one else. He made himself available for selection and was chosen by the manager. No one is scapegoating him, he simply wasnt good enough at his job. Who's fault it is that he was given the job is a different matter.
