On Wednesday night, I became Leicester's oldest-ever out-field player.
Run-in
We've got 15 games left in the Championship and an eight-point advantage over second-placed Burnley. However, a lot has been made of Leicester's poor finish to last season, when the team took just two wins from their last 13 league games.
Although there may be setbacks ahead, I've seen enough in the last two performances from our players to suggest there's no chance we'll go on a wretched run like that again this year.
To come back from 2-1 down with 10 men in a fantastic local derby with Forest on Wednesday and to have fought back from 2-0 down against Watford the week before shows the mentality of the team.
I'd suggest we wouldn't have done that this time last season, but it shows the winning attitude at the club; the players don't know when they're beaten and we've fought back and got two valuable points from losing positions.
Next up, we're at home to Ipswich and then Charlton come to the King Power Stadium. The aim is to take maximum points from those games and get back to winning ways.
They'll be two completely different games - one against a play-off chasing Ipswich and the other against a Charlton side desperately fighting against relegation - but we know if we do things right, we have a great chance of victory.
