With Martí now packing his bags and leaving Seagrave (and probably glad he didn’t move into his own home), the question is, who’s next?

Leicester City 2 West Bromwich Albion 1: A glimpse into the future
In a game that made no sense played out in front of a half-empty stadium, Leicester City notched up another theft against West Bromwich Albion. To paraphrase George Hirst, it’s what we do.

"You could analyse this game by simply saying that Sheffield United looked an extraordinarily superior team for the entire 90 minutes and disappearing off to do better things."

But you wouldn't want to do that, right?

Another 3-0 scoreline at half time might have had you sweating and making an assumption. For the first time in three games, you’d be wrong because Leicester City were on the right end of it.
