I heard/read plenty of fans of other championship clubs say that, and also referring to us as having a holiday for a season.

In fact if I was a fan of any other Championship team I would be frustrated by knowing that one of the two automatic promotion spots is around 90% a done deal by a team like ours. This is a team with good players, either experienced in PL football or talented enough to be competitive in PL. 

That said, if Enzo takes seriously the FA Cup and we have a clash against an average PL side we'll have a better picture where we're standing especially tactically.

I do find it funny when opposition managers come out with the score line didn’t reflect how well their team played. Jdt today and Martin after the Southampton game. Fvck knows what nonsense they’ll come out with when we start playing at our best. 

"Looking back, actually, can I just say that we were very happy to only lose 1-4. Having seen other teams having had their arses handed to them in a spectacular way, we're retrospectively delighted and now realise the errors of my previous statements. Sorry to all Leicester City FC fans. Truly. Please don't hurt us tomorrow."

I assume it’s a process because our defenders/keeper are still coming to terms with what our manager wants. 
 

Constantly playing from the back obviously comes with certain risks and we will concede silly goals what ever division we are in.


But the manager has calculated the benefits outweigh the costs (keeps possession, pulls opposition players out of position, can tire the opposition, can be used against counter attacks……)

 

Against Blackburn I thought in the 1st half we got duped into adopting their gung ho attitude. We were much better when we passed it around in a slower more composed way. 
 

moreover, I don’t think we actually have the players to play any differently now. Rightly or wrongly, the club had fully supported the manager and his footballing philosophy. 

 

This. Under Rodgers we tried something similar but then rarely got the ball forward from our defence and we seemed to lack the confidence to play out from the back and then just played it repeatedly sideways and back. At least now, despite Mads error, we seem to be getting to grips with this style and as you say, it draws the opposition front line onto us, leaving space behind and in midfield.

Reading through this thread, I get a bit wary of all the "we've won it/we're not even at our best/wait until we really start playing/we're gonna piss the league" comments. 

 

Sure, we are top of the (poor) league but I never like to be over-confident. A lot can happen between now and next May.

 

For now, I'm just enjoying most, but not all, of what I am seeing. I think it's in our own and Maresca's hands to win the league. other teams will have their purple patches and become a threat to our expectations.

 

I hope we don't let that get to us. I'm confident in our manager to keep the positivity going even when some on FT don't.

Damn if making a single error is dropped and banished to the phantom zone then what punishment for Ward (who's competition winner style of play is why we're in this division) and Iversen (who chucked in a couple at Fulham).

Is it just me or ( and I know we're doing exceptionally well and I shouldn't really be being critical as results go our way ) are we playing with fire with this, in my opinion, idiotic 'passing out from the back' system?  Todays giveaway goal was an example of it.  And why we have a fullback passing our goal-kicks to the goalie to then kick  the ball downfield is totally bewildering to me. Why 'risk' an extra pass when the ball is going long anyway?  Please help me and give my brain a reason!

Don’t worry..everybody is in the same boat,but won’t admit it…

Silence is golden…because most FTers are posting trying to find reasons themselves…

Great innit..though

Ok performance with a great result, we can't expect to turn up and roll teams over. All this talk about winning the league by March is stupid.

 

Win against Preston in the week and we'll be laughing, nice to have a bit of a cushion to 3rd currently, will be extended if we win.

Couldn’t agree more, it’s very obvious it will be done by Christmas.
