    Looking at our last few matches we have shown Leicester apart that we can outplay anyone in this division. We've drawn three games against the top teams all of which we could and perhaps should have won.

    If we beat Derby we are back on top and I see no reason barring disastrous luck with injuries, why we can't stay there.


    So it's all aboard the bus, boat or is it a plane now? onto the top flight!

    COYR!

    You say could and should of won, but you didn't, does'nt that tell you something oh and by the way 1 of them games was against 10 men, so don't count your chickens just yet, there are other teams that are playing better than us and your lot at the moment, Blackpool and Reading to name just 2 its by no means over until the fat lady sings.

    Well you may be right,,,,you shouldn't count your chickens your right on another point too. We should have won. I guess we had to settle for just taking 4 points out of six off you. Looking at your statistics you going down to ten seems to help you a shade. There is no shame in just drawing to ten men that defend from the 30 yard line is there. As in reality at this point it is 10 against 10 although more likely 8 against 10 as we usually keep a couple of defenders back for the hoof ball experts!

    That is where you are off to next on Tuesday and that will be difficult just as much for you as it will be for us. If we win on Saturday the pressure will be on you in a difficult game

    Now what was i saying, oh yes dont count your chickens, well we stood up to the pressure of playing catch up and we are back on top, now the pressure is back on you on saturday as we have an early kick off, if and i say if we win on saturday that puts us 4 points ahead with a game in hand (not counting chickens etc) and with birmingham making their move adds even more pressure on your lot, but good luck anyway
