The Story in 60 Seconds

Josh Holland argues that Leicester City manager Russell Martin faces a crucial five-game stretch to prove the club is on track for promotion. Following a frustrating 1-1 draw against ten-man Barnsley, where Liam Cullen scored before Cleary equalized, Leicester have collected only two wins and two defeats from their opening seven League One matches.

The upcoming schedule features four opponents currently in the bottom six, beginning against Peterborough and continuing with Doncaster Rovers, Bromley, Jack Wilshere's Luton Town, and Wigan Athletic. Martin expressed frustration with the club's modest points tally while maintaining confidence that Leicester will be near the top by season's end.
