We have to turn this one win into a winning streak for 10+games. I think we need to win on Tuesday.

Apart from reading Richard Broadbent's diatribe, (I often like his column as well), what a belting day. Three points for City and some positive signs of encouragement.
Pointer one: Getting into a huddle before the kick off and showing some solidarity, unity and collective determination. All for One and One for All can go a long way in football as in so many other things.
Pointer two: No Nathan Blake. If the bloke gets himself fit and starts loving the shirt good luck to him but today we had people up front who made themselves a threat.
Pointer three: Crosses from the wing proved decisive.
The demands for improvement, so many positive suggestions have come from the fans, not from the Leicester Mercury.
RB points to the LM being justifiably biaised (we are all bloody biaised and so we should be) but where has the analysis been, the facts and figures that point inescapably to underachievement and the demand from that influential body that it's just not good enough.
So often reports detail who shot, who saved but give no real picture of the tactics and who truly played well. Match marks of 6's and 7's for people who have done sod all are a sop.
The fans demanded change, proper commitment, pride, a variation in tactics, solidarity, passion and Rotherham has been their first reward. Not the be all and end all, but the win the club needed, the foundation stone for improvement.
Just like the players THEY helped win this game. No-one realistically expects perfection or an instant solution to all our remaining weaknesses on Tuesday but if we can build on today there's hope.
There were fewer non or only occasional contributors at Rotherham. If we show the same indefatigable team spirit and we negate the remaining weak points then what we'll need most on Tuesday is total self belief.
We need each man to win his individual battles and the teammates round him to make sure it happens. God for Harry, Leicester and St.George. Let cheerfulness abound.
