Leicester 'never do things the easy way'

Consecutive fixtures of Liverpool, Manchester City and Aston Villa would see most teams struggle to pick up points. Add a relegation scrap into the mix and the likelihood of points becomes even lower.

However, after taking the lead at Anfield and going toe to toe with City in what was arguably our best performance of the season, I think most fans felt reasonably confident something could be obtained at Villa Park.

However, when you are struggling for form and confidence, and individual errors are becoming an unwanted appearance in your repertoire, things never go quite to plan.

The booing of players has become a talking point for the second time in a month for the Foxes - not what you want to see when you are fighting for your lives. Fans can be the 12th man and often galvanise the team; something Leicester desperately need right now.

The profit and sustainability rumour mill has started once again with the submission of our latest accounts, but we must remain focused on the task at hand - 17th place or above by securing as many points as possible. Avoiding relegation may just keep those salivating PSR wolves at bay, but who knows?

Ruud van Nistelrooy's Rome was not built in a day, but it also was not built without the tools of new personnel to refresh the squad. The January window is a tricky time to do this, with few players wanting to move and even fewer players wanting a part in a relegation scrap, not to mention a premium surge for those 'panic buys'.

Leicester never do things the easy way, but in the last few games we are seeing some better play. We just have to hope any reinforcements are quick to arrive, hit the ground running and make an immediate impact as the race for survival intensifies.
