I totally agree with you Cjay. On our day and with our best players in the team, we are probably the best in the league and have proved as much with wins over the top two, away from home at that. The difference has been our problematic start, our slightly erratic form when not playing our very best players and a bit of good fortune for both Leicester and Ipswich to end up winning games they haven’t deserved to. Hopefully, over the long season things will even themselves out and the best 3 teams will promote, we certainly being one of them!
Thing to cling on to for me is the performances haven't matched the results for Leicester.
They haven't been 11 points better than us performance wise.
The xG stats tell us its at most 4 or 5 points difference and that doesn't seem anywhere near as scary especially considering things like the Bamford pen Vs Stoke, sending off vs Hull, the inexplicable loss to Birmingham.
Big moments that haven't gone our way.
Where as things like Winks scoring the first worldie of his life to get 3 points not 1 vs QPR.
Coventry and Leicester having 20 shots each 1st game and Leicester getting the rub of the green that day.
Casadei getting a 92nd minute winner in an even game vs Cardiff.
Leicester have had the luck or made the most of small margins whereas we haven't.
We were battering Hull before the sending off, we beat Birmingham 9/10 that day, Stoke don't get a lift if Bamford scores the penalty that day.
It may be Leicester keep getting these rubs of the green or the individual quality they have over everyone else is enough and our inconsistencies and inability to do the same means it ends how it is now.
But it's not over yet.
Leicester have been wobbly far more often than the points suggest according to the fans.
