It's not really him specifically. It's the idea getting around on this board that this dumpster fire of a season with a coach who's lost the playing group would somehow have been any better if we'd retained soft fringe players like Jarrod Lienert and Peter Ladhams. If either of them were still on our list they'd be playing just as badly as the players we kept.
And in regards to the post you quoted, even if Lienert was the best player in the league it still wouldn't any sense to compare him to Skinner. Skinner is a key defender, Lienert is a Bonner style half back.
So in the Marshall thread, anytime any criticism is levelled at him, you reply with "it's not the players!"
Now Lienert, even Ladhams, is just a fringe player that was never going to change a thing anyway.
It's a bit biased.
I dont even care that much about Lienert, it's just that any time his name comes up you're sent into a tailspin.
