I've just published a new blog entry discussing Nigel Pearson's statistics since his return to City and what that might mean for the rest of the season.

I know using historical statistics to predict future outcomes is a mug's game but our inconsistency this season has been reliably consistent (if that makes sense), so I thought I'd have a stab at it.

The maths leads me to some not-very-interesting conclusions but I thought it might be worth sharing. Take a look and start the debate.

10th place with our inconsistency wouldn't be bad. I dream of play offs but i'm realistic about the challenge we have given ourselves. At the end of the day it's a typical Leicester season apart from the fact we are only 90 Minutes away from a possible Wembley return it has been very unpredictable. Until the end of the season all we can do as supporters is support so fook the predictions and the odds and the expectations let's just show Nigel and the players that we believe in them and are willing to sing our hearts out for them for every goal, every tackle, every challenge and every save.

Totally agree, posted something very similar on the "season over" thread

Thing is, before last night we had racked up a good run... 7 wins in 10 I believe, there was the non-performance away at Brighton accompanied by the refereeing shambles and the watershed defeat against Watford which saw the captain dropped & out in the cold, this defeat seemed to spur us on to greater things

If we can replicate that run we could creep in, but I'm not expecting us to, in fact I'm certain we won't and at least I won't be disappointed that way

Another clearout is needed in the summer with Mills Johnson & others being shown the door & then I think when Pearson's winning mentality is further stamped onto whoever's left & a few new additions, with no negative influences hanging around in the background, we'll be solid next season and I'd think we're capable of staying in the top 4 throughout...

Until then we need to keep the upward curve we've seen since the Barnsley defeat and just finish with as good a form as we can and hopefully get a result against Chelsea in the cup and a Wembley appearance.
