Leicesters return from League 1 has been succe sful to say the least. Under Nigel Pearson, the team has found stability and has been strengthened by additions such as Richie Wellens and Martyn Waghorn (on loan from Sunderland). This has led to an exciting promotion battle, attracting an average attendance of 23,604 to the Walkers Stadium this season, the fifth highest in the league.17th March: After winning four of their last five matches, Leicester City found themselves in fourth place, an eight point cushion plus a game in Josh Archibald Men Jersey hand on seventh placed Sheffield United. When asked about the promtion bid, captain Matt Oakley commented, wed have to have a seriously bad run to fall out of those play-off places. Oakley, however, appeared to have tempted fate. Five games and only one point later, Leicestersplay-off dreams wereon the brink. Defeats by local rivals Derby and promotionchasing Cardiff were followed by a 3-0 lo s to West Brom. The team now sat in sixth place, withseventh placed Blackpool touching distance away.Chris Weale's horror own goal condemns Leicester to another defeat, against rivals DerbyThis meant that when Leicester turned out to face QPR on Easter Monday the pre sure was on; anything le s than a win could Adam Clendening Kids Jersey see the foxes fall out of the promotion places for the first time since January (a run of 15 games). The team did not disappoint, with an emphatic 4-0 victory ending the five game search for a victory. Crucially it ensures the foxes fate is in their own hands with only four games of the season remaining.Relief all round as Leicester beat QPRBefore the QPR game Nigel Pearson declared, we are now e sentially in a five-game season. This istrue, with seventh placed Blackpool in great form (four wins in a row) and only a point behind City, the battle for the final playoff places hangs in the balance. The remaining fixtures of the season see Leicester travel to Peterborough and Preston, whilst Watford and Middlesbrough visit the Walkers Stadium. With Peterborough, Preston Teppo Numminen Men Jersey and Watford all in the bottom third of the table, the fixture list seems to be kind to the foxes, but getting twelve points will still be a tough task.Despite being relegated last week and taking only one point from six games, Peterborough have just appointed Gary Johnson as their new manager. This, Martyn Waghorn is predicting, will have an immediate impact. He told the Leicester Mercury their lads will be playing for their careers and its going to be a tricky game.Still, on paper this should be three points for Leicester against the team with the worst home defence in the league. However, in the Championship nothing is ever guaranteed!Watford, who Leicester play the following Saturday, are also in poor form and face the foxes having notwon insix games. However, in that time they have obtained three good draws against Preston, West Brom and Middlesborogh, arguably deserving more, especially after a 95th minute Chris Brunt equalizer for West Brom. Malky Mackays team find themselves in 21st place, above the drop zone on goal difference and will be desperate for all three points. The last time the teams met, Watford came from 2-0 down to lead 3-2 until a last minute header from Dany NGue san earned a 3-3 draw. Leicester will also be aware of Manchester United loanee Tom Cleverley, who impre sed in the 15 games he played for the foxes last season and who is currently Watfords top scorer.Leicester's last match against Watford was an exciting 3-3 draw. Preston have also failed to live up Keith Tkachuk Women Jersey to the highs of last season and sit in 17th ,also without a win in six. However, many teams have failed to stop them scoring this season and with the strength and height of Parkin and Mellor up front, the Leicester defence faces a tough challenge. Yet, Nigel Pearson will take confidence from the fact that Preston have failed to keep a clean sheet in 12 games, whilst up front for Leicester, Martyn Waghorn has recently been in great form and top scorer Matty Fryatt is nearing a return from a broken jaw.The season concludes against eighth placed Middlesborough, who have had a frustrating season in the Championship. Whilst only six points away from the play-offs, Gordon Strachan appears to have written off Middlesboroughs chances, insisting we dont deserve to be in the play-offs, so its not a problem. The team has struggled to turn draws into wins Lawson Crouse Kids Jersey and Leicester will be hoping to do the double over Strachans men, following a hard fought 1-0 win at the Riverside in September.Sixth place is Leicesters for the taking, and whatever is to come for the foxes it promises to be a nailbiting finish for fans and players alike. This is what football is all about!
