City's powers of recovery staved off defeat at the Hawthorns, but fanbase is showing signs of impatience at winless run

HERE'S more than one way to interpret Leicester City's form. It's correct that they're five games unbeaten and on their longest undefeated streak for 19 months. It's also true that they've gone three games without a victory, a rarity in their recent Championship campaigns.

- By JORDAN BLACKWELL

The draw at West Brom is another point for their tally and one that, initially, moved them up to third in the table.

Yet there's a sense that City's league position is not a true reflection of where they are as a team.

And now restlessness is starting to show. City fans have spent longer watching their side trailing than leading this season, and that spilled over into a chant of "Marti, sort it out!" just before halftime at West Brom.

While the perceived lack of fight that prompted anger in the stands at Preston has been quickly and emphatically resolved, there is still a feeling permeating through the fanbase that City are not performing as well as they should be.

It would be fair to say they are lacking creativity and struggling to fashion clear-cut openings. It would be fair to say many of the squad members are not yet playing at the heights they have reached previously. It would be fair to say Marti Cifuentes' gameplan has not yet been perfected.
