JANUARY, FEBRUARY AND MARCH UPDATE
Given the unbelievably bad form we were in, Esteban Cambiasso had to be locked up somewhere in Somalia. The club appointed Andre Villas-Boas to succeed him. While our bad form continued in January, it picked up in February and March, which leaves me optimistic about us surviving the drop this year. Hopefully, next season will be better. We've also splashed the cash, so we better improve next season!

JANUARY
Sunderland 2 - 1 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Rooney
A debut goal for Wayne Rooney in garbage time wasn't enough to help avoid defeat, in a bad start to the new year and to AvB's career at Leicester.
Leicester City 0 -
3 West Bromwich Albion
A dreadful display at home. 2 games, 2 defeats.
Arsenal 3 - 1 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Drinkwater
A spirited defeat at the Emirates. Danny Drinkwater pulled level after Lukaku opened the scoring in the third minute, but they had too much quality for us.
Leicester City 0 -
1 Cardiff City
A tough defeat. Had more shots than the opposition, but couldn't convert. Injuries to Ivanovic and Micah Richards within a minute of each other didn't help either.
Leicester City 2 - 2 Hull City
LCFC scorers: Knockaert, Mane
Finally, our first point of the new year! Disappointing result however, as we conceded an 87th minute equalizer.
FEBRUARY
Swansea City 0 -
4 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Herrera, Martial, Rooney, Blackett
Absolutely superb way to get our first win since December. Led 3-0 at halftime and never looked like losing. Brilliant performance.
Middlesbrough 0 -
2 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Rojo, De Laet
Two wins in two! Great performance at the Riverside.
Leicester City 0 - 0 Manchester City
Superb performance by the team. We more than matched City in this one, and on another day could even have won it. But you don't always get what you want!
Leicester City 1 - 1 Newcastle United
LCFC scorers: Herrera
Disappointed with the result. Absolutely battered Newcastle, but they were able to hold on.
MARCH
Chelsea 0 -
1 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Rooney
WE WIN AT THE BRIDGE! Rooney the scorer, and we probably could have had more, if not for our profligacy.
Aston Villa 1 -
3 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Blackett, Knockaert, Mane
From no wins in 11 games to no losses in 6. Quite the up-turn in form I would say! Now to get some wins at home.
TABLE WATCH: Tight league, this. Watford (10th place) only seven points away from us, and the European spots are 13 points away. If we keep this form up we could be in the running for a top half (or at least mid-table) finish.

THIRD ROUND
Hull City 3 - 1 Leicester City
LCFC scorers: Martial
Disappointing performance sees us bow out of the cup in the third round, following last year's run to the semifinals. Was hoping for much better.
Allahu Akbar.
