Very confident bunch, aren't we?

If you are referring to those that don't think we will win comfortably, it is because we won our last game, we haven't won back to back for a calendar year. So those that don't think we will we win 5-0 are just beaten down by a pretty frustrating 12 months, but fortunately Coventry are going to play the sacrificial lambs to get over this curse, so thanks for that.

I'm sitting up front in the optimism bus today and going for 5-0.

The thing is though, you lot aren't very good. You'll beat us, but by the odd goal.

Are you obsessed with this forum, or do you really have a love for Leicester

We're good but only against good sides. ;):ph34r:

The only thing that worries me about today.

We did the double over Southampton, completely battering them at their place, but have failed to beat Barnsley, Portsmouth and Doncaster.

Without wanting to sound like a walking cliche, these are the kinds of games we should be winning comfortably.

The stakes are high for today's massive M69 derby with Coventry, says Leicester City boss Nigel Pearson.

The Sky Blues arrive at the King Power Stadium bidding to give their hopes of Championship survival a boost with their first away win of the season.

City, meanwhile, need the three points to keep alive their play-off hopes and record their first back-to-back league wins for more than a year.

Coventry, who will be without manager Andy Thorn because of illness, are fighting for their lives, which Pearson warned would make them dangerous.

But he said City must look to build on their morale-boosting away victories at Norwich and Derby as they begin a massive month.

"There is an awful lot riding on the game," said Pearson.

"Coventry are fighting for their lives in terms of staying up and we are striving to make in-roads into the league.

"On top of that, it is a local derby, a very important one.

"We know that our game has to be at its best. You can't go into any game in this league and not be at your best, as we have found out to our cost on a number of occasions this season already.

"The situation remains the same, we want to go and win the game but we know we have to earn the right to win the game, regardless of what anyone else thinks about it.

"I am aware it will be a tough game but, having said that, our players believe in themselves, there is a very good spirit among them and we are looking forward to it."

Pearson said at the end of a sequence of nine games in 28 days, City will know if their dream of fighting for the play-offs has a chance of coming true.

"It could be season-defining, just because of the number of games in a short period of time," he said.

"Clearly it is going to have a huge influence.

"We have got an awful lot to do and to put together a significant run if we are to make inroads, but we have to believe we can do it. Time will tell if we can achieve that."

City welcome back Jeff Schlupp from seven weeks out with a knee injury, and Paul Gallagher is also a possibility after returning to training after a hamstring problem.

The link posted said they'd sold their initial allocation of about 1250, cba to get it back again, and had requested more.

We don't make the full 3,000 odd available immediately unless it's requested, usually by clubs with a sizable away following.

Coventry haven't picked up an away win all season but on their last away trip to Nottingham Forest, a huge away following of over 2600 fans watched the 2-0 defeat.

With the 'M69 derby' tomorrow and already over 1500 tickets sold for the trip, City will be watched by another bumper away support and Harrison couldn't thank the fans enough for their commitment.

lol
