Foxes showed 'glimpses of potential'

Off the back of one of our most dismal seasons in years, the curtain-raiser against relegation favourites Sheffield Wednesday felt like a potential banana skin, and that kind of expectation weighs heavy on the shoulders of some. Being 1-0 down at half-time felt very ominous.

Leicester have become the pantomime villains of late on the football stage, and new boss, Marti Cifuentes, has some task on his hands to manage the on-field activities amid the deafening noise off it.

We showed glimpses of our potential after a poor first half, and it was really encouraging to see Cifuentes change it at half-time (rather than the orthodox 60 minutes of his predecessors) with the introduction of Harry Winks, who showed exactly why he was such a lynchpin in the Enzo Maresca era.

The midfield is a problem area with only Winks being a likely starter, following the departure of Wilfred Ndidi.

But with the cloud of PSR and a possible points deduction looming overhead, any spending must be shrewd. Cifuentes will likely have to look to the club's hot young talent, such as Jeremy Monga, Ben Nelson, Will Alvez and Louis Page.

It may be that these three points are on the board only temporarily, before the EFL takes them from us, but it was important to get off on the right foot.

Rome wasn't built in a day, but Cifuentes has a bit of a conundrum on his hands as to which building blocks to use - coupled with the affordability of the ones he wants to buy and the ones he doesn't need.

One thing is for sure, it's never dull in the Leicester City camp.
