zico Absolutely. However, not beyond criticism, partly the board, partly him.
That free flowing title winning football got sidelined for dull, non-descript turgidness. Wembley was awful. It was about this time I was muttering 'Fucking resign Wilkinson' coming out of grounds without going full pelt with the chant. Mansfield away in the League Cup, and we put all players behind the ball hoping to sneak a quick breakaway. McAllister kept coming back to get the ball off whoever the keeper was, on the inside our own box. It was all so negative.
There's a whole different story from LC final. Majority of our end chanting 'Why is Brolin on the bench?' Very true. The majority of casual observers chime up occasionally with how shit Brolin was because they saw him playing for Palace, staggering round 'like a punch drunk boxer' against us. The reality was, he was fucking fantastic for Leeds, never had a bad game. Saw his debut coming on as sub at Newcastle, breath of fresh air, fizzing passes in that our trusted plodders weren't expecting. We never used him properly.
