Leicester City will be ‘steamrolling teams’ amid rising optimism for Russell Martin

Pundits Matt Bloomfield and Harvey Knibbs have backed manager Russell Martin to succeed at Leicester City, claiming the Foxes will eventually begin steamrolling opponents in League One. Speaking on Sky Sports' EFL show, both highlighted growing signs of optimism despite Leicester sitting 13th in the table following a 1-1 draw against 10-man Barnsley.

Former Luton manager Bloomfield noted the difficulty of managing significant squad turnover after relegation, insisting Martin's tactical philosophy is beginning to take shape. Charlton winger Knibbs echoed those sentiments, pointing out positive reports about Martin's training methods and the quality of chances created during recent performances.
