Beware Vardy !
Indeed, he'd be ideal for us at the moment, he's one of the rare players where age goes out of the window, his fitness and tenacity is remarkable and his bit of snide would be fitting with our new attitude.
We should have went all out for Vardy at some point over the last 3 or 4 years he runs rings around the strikers we've got.
 


Before the Spurs game, I think a lot of us were looking at this one as a 'must win' to keep our heads above water, and the pressure would really have been on to get a win. Getting 2x wins on the spin has really relieved a lot of that pressure on this game now, which can only be a positive for us.

Don't get me wrong, 3 points would still be huge and (in my opinion) all but see us safe, but I think this now more of a 'must not lose' game. After the Villa game, if someone offered us 7 points from Spurs (H), Brighton (A) and Leicester (H) we'd have bitten their arm off.

Leicester concede chances for fun... a quick check on the BBC shows that in the 4x league games they played in January they conceded 54 shots at goal. Even QPR had 8 in the cup (scoring 2 of them).

0-1 Leicester (Pickford OG in the 99th minute).
We can go out now and play with the type of swagger you can only see from a lower mid table side.
