    "The Foxes, who had eight more points at this stage when last promoted to the Premier League in 2003, have only conceded one Championship goal in the last 15 minutes in this promotion bid. "

    I think this is an important marker of our success so far this season. For as long as I've supported LCFC they've always had a bit of a reputation as last minute bottlers. I've lost count of the number of points Leicester City teams throughout the years have thrown away in injury time. Maybe it's magnified because it's our club, and you tend to notice the last minute goals against you much more than those that go for you, but I still think the fact that NPs charges have been able to see out games time and again and not concede silly late goals has been key in our good first half of this season. Long may it continue!

    Bit of a contrast to our last Premier League campaign.

    Wouldn't we have been way in the top half if games were only 75 minutes long or something ridiculous. Instead we got relegated.
