Tomorrow will see me either proven 100% right about Rob Kelly or leave me having to hold my hands up and say well done.
He has the perfect chance, with our first home game in over a month, to win over the supporters, show us that he is the man to take us forward. We find ourselves in 18th position in the table and an uncomfortable 3 points from the relegation places - and Rob can react in two ways tomorrow.
a) The usual approach, a nervous looking team who look to hold on for any precious point they can get their hands on rather than playing to win every game. A team that has square pegs in round holes, a team that is 'a team' only nominally.
OR
b) What I, and everyone else for that matter would like to see, the team that plays in cups for us, that battled so gallantly against Fulham in the Cup this year and Aston Villa before them. The team that plays fearlessly and reaches their full potential by working as a unit and more importantly works for each other.
It is a real 6 pointer tomorrow and I can't help but get the feeling that Rob will send the team out edgy and not wanting to lose rather than sending them out to put on a show and announce what they are really made of.
The team I would love to see is:
Logan,
Stearman, McAuley, Kisnorbo, Johansson;
Yeates, King, Hughes, Porter;
Fryatt (if fit), Hume.
However, I think the team Rob will play is:
Henderson
McAuley, McCarthy, Kisnorbo, Maybury;
Yeates, Hughes, Tiatto, Porter;
Hammond, Hume.
For me, that is playing with 4 weak links in the back 5, which we can't afford to do against any team in this league.
I really hope Rob proves me wrong and sends the lads out with fire in their bellies tomorrow and we can start looking up towards mid-table rather than looking precariously over our shoulder. But, as always, I get the feeling it could be the usual shower I see week in week out, which would see us in deep deep trouble.
Come on Rob, live on the edge.
Up the Foxes!

) I hope he improves, or else it'll be a waste of money paying his wages until the end of the season.
