When Leicester returned to the top flight for the 2014-15 season, it was with a lot of turbulence, going from the upper heighs to the deeper lows, and also having a 6 game run of losses, as well as winning 5-3 vs. Man Utd early on, showing the type of mental strength needed to see a survival.
Nigel Pearson was close to getting the sack during the season, and rumours were that he was going, but as we all know those final games showed us all what was in the making as Claudio Ranieri came in and took us all the way back to the top.
We have seen what Forest have managed this season, making the most out of an counter attacking style and playing to their strengths and of course building huge confidence with so many good results.
The Fulham game tomorrow will of course be of great importance, but the domination we did see against Crystal Palace, having 70% possession is something to build on and hopefully Facundo Bounanotte and Bilal El Khannouss will be given the faith as the two are so crucial for this project at this time.

Leicester do have a crucial problem without Wilfred Ndidi in the team, but surely Harry Winks is not the answer as the cover when the Nigerian interinational is out, Hamza Choudhury would be the man to call at this point, Oliver Skipp has in no way shined after his move from Spurs, so far a disaster in this set up, sadly looking a total waste of money.
Harry Winks had no momentum last season without Wilfred Nididi beside him, overlooking the major impact of him, and of course we all remember the heroic acts and performances from Hamza Choudhury in a number of games last season.
This is of course a difficult matter to solve, but we need more defensive midfield strength and would like to see Hamza Choudhury getting a run as he can do that job in this position at this point, strangely being overlooked again in the Crystal Palace game, giving minutes to Oliver Skipp.
Would look strange to see any of the central defenders leaving the club at this point, all of them, Vestergaard, Okoli, Coady and Faes are all very much needed towards the end of the season, as new recruits might need a bit of time to settle in, looking at the players we are linked to and possibly have chance to sign.
