Aye, it shows too by the amount of chances he's getting or rather the positions he's getting himself into, but it has to be said he's taking his chances well, there have been some very good finishes.
I still think that he, and to some extent the team, are going through a bit of a purple patch and I think the performances of both will drop off as the season goes on. But I wouldn't be worrying about that too much, by the look of it Leicester will be comfortably safe this season so you can enjoy the rest of the season and see how high you can finish at the end. I'm guessing top ten would make you all happy?
Yeah without a shadow of a doubt, I'd be thrilled with top 10. I'd be thrilled with surviving for the next two years in all honesty. With the new TV deal kicking in the gap between the top league and the championship could become almost impossible to bridge providing you have sensible management. That could mean really cementing our position for a long time, something we should have done after O'Neill's era, but failed with one terrible managerial appointment, shows how quick it can all change.
Yeah it's a purple patch, who on earth would think it's going to carry on forever. Only two losses in 19 games in all comps (against Chelsea and Arsenal... we went ahead in both of them as well) with 12 wins 5 draws. I think it's enough to prove we belong in this league at the moment, so I'm just going to enjoy it whilst it lasts. We have a terrible December coming up, but outside the top 6 I don't think there is much to fear at the moment.
Long term, what can any clubs outside the top 5/6 hope for. Staying up and a cup run is about the best it will get without someone throwing a billion quid at it. Players and managers will always get poached by the bigger teams.
