Tony James is the father of Jordan James as this name will always be connected to a special survival back in the 1990-91 season. Jordan James looks to get closer and closer to full fitness. The situation looks grim, but as we did see on Saturday, Portsmouth has managed three wins in three, so Leicester must do the same.

We were all down and in a negative mood after the game. As the hours pass, we start to wonder how we could still stay up.

Leicester have to win all three games left. A points deduction for West Bromwich could change that. West Brom and Blackburn are both on 49 points and 8 in front of Leicester. Leicester are on -11 goals, Blackburn on -15 and West Brom on -12.

Gary Rowett and the players must concentrate on their own situation and not give up. Blackburn have just that Leicester game and an away fixture vs. Sheffield United left. Leicester have one game in hand and picking up all three points in the last three games, they will reach 50. A draw or a win for The Blades, will see Leicester in a position to push themselves above the relegation line, hoping for at least one of the last three Oxford games ending in defeat.

West Bromwich have to lose two of their last three. We can accept one draw, then they will be on 50 points, without a points dedcution. Are they deducted points things can be far more open. Still a lot to play for against Hull and Millwall, before that final clash at Ewood Park on the 2nd of May.

The support at Fratton Park was superb until the end of the game, despite players again having difficulties in those crucial moments. We hope Gary Rowett can play Jordan James in these final three games. Then Leicester do have a major chance to survive.

The core of the Leicester fanbase will be there to support the team. They will turn up, despite many being very angry and given little at Fratton Park on Saturday.
