F'kin hell, that's a bit harsh. What about chances missed by Healey, Blake, the awful Kandol, mistakes by Richardson when he cocked up for the second goal against Sheffield Wednesday and others too numerous to mention throughout the season. I firmly believe that if Cresswell hadn't been injured when he was the season before last we would have beaten Sheffield United to the second promotion spot and would not have suffered the ignomy of the play-off final and all that's followed since. It's only an opinion of course and we'll never know, but to say we went down because of him missing one chance is too much. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
