I honestly didn't know what to expect. Having been relegated, new manager, lost a lot of players, had to bring in a few, some of which were unknown, I was thinking play-offs would be good. There were plenty of well established championship teams and Leeds and Southampton looked a lot more settled than us.
The one thing I have got from this season is that we aren't as good as some have made us out to be. On our day, we are a decent side, but we have a lot of flaws. I have accepted this and am very pleased at where we are. We know that parachute payments haven't helped us, we haven't bought the league, we are a team in a major transition who will hopefully go up.
It has annoyed me how many of our own fans are slating the team. Especially as we are top of the league. Some are starting to sound like a bunch of entitled pricks. The championship is relentless. Not just the amount of games, it's more physical, but most of all, it requires a certain mental attitude.
Our fans criticism has not just been at the players, it has been at Enzo. This man has come into a proper mess. I think that has been understated. He has a philosophy of how he wants to play and has installed it. Yes, you can be critical at times, that it is slow and stubborn, but we are top of the league!!! What he has installed is something that has passed through the whole club. The under 23s, under 18s, women and the kids, all play the same style. That to me is a huge positive. There's nothing worse than having to teach players to play differently when they reach the 1st team.
If we go up, which I expect, yes we may get a points deduction, but we will buy better players. The important thing is the footballing ethos, which will get better as better players do it. When you watch Man City, it is so similar to us, but they have better players. That's the difference. They still play what some of our fans are calling boring slow football.
Anyway, I'm converted and convinced with Enzo. Just because Dave, 73 from Braunstone says he hasn't got plan B or its boring, won't change that.
I will be cheering them on, pushing them over the line, hopefully looking forward to what is next on this rollercoaster ride called Leicester City.
