Life as a Leicester City fan is good right now. The lads seem full of confidence and are playing some nice stuff. But I've been following them long enough to always have that lingering doubt and nervousness at the back of my mind.
I needn't have worried this once. I don't normally like Pride Park. It's a soulless place with little to recommend it other than the platforms set aside for wheelchair users and the pulleys they use to get the wheelchairs up there.
To be fair, Derby were poor. They were lacklustre, and didn't really look as though they believed they could get anything out of the game. And they were very very dirty. It's a blessing no-one was seriously hurt. The referee, moreover, did not provide any protection for the Leicester players which is worrying. It took more than 50 minutes of the game to elapse before any player went in the book. In my view several of them, Robbie Savage included, should have been booked. There were tackles flying in from all over the place, most of them without any intention of playing the ball.
But where earlier in the season we would have crumbled under the attacks, this time we held firm. And with two high quality goals we claimed the victory. Well done, boys!
