We are actually pretty good at the back now. They are look comfortable for most of the match but when they have to throw themselves in front of the ball, they do it.
Gana has also been excellent for a month now (Man City match aside). The game really is about small margins and the improvement from him and Lescott has helped the cause hugely.
Leicester only had one more point that we now have at the same stage last season. We ourselves only had 6 more points and then lost our next two league games (the first two of Sherwood's reign).
You can't say it's impossible but buying a chuffing striker and a decent winger in the window wouldn't half have made a difference.
