Quotes from the South Wales Echo.

"He's made one hell of a difference to us."

"I am so grateful to Grimsby Town for what they did I just wish they had done it a few weeks earlier because we could have been in the First Division now.

"Lennie is a very good man, very strong and self confident. He knows what he wants - and knows what he doesn't want.

"He conducts himself as a gentleman and he's made one hell of a difference for us."

"I am so pleased for Lennie," Sam says about his decision to play Leo ahead of Earnie and then Andy Legg in the Vale game

"Look at the way Leo is playing - his goal against Port Vale was in the Ronaldo class. What has Lennie done to Leo?

"And what about Leggy, the only man in the history of mankind who is getting younger every day!

"The way Leo, Leggy, Gary Croft and Chris Barker are playing I'm convinced they must be on something. They are setting super high standards.

"Look at the players Lennie has brought to us since he came. He signed Andy Campbell, a striker of superb quality.

"This season we have Gary Croft and he has been a revelation, absolutely outstanding. Chris Barker, too, is looking like a revelation and what about Gareth Whalley?

"Our new goalkeeper Martyn Margetson was in Huddersfield's first team last season and the guy can handle anything."

Sam along with the rest of the City faithfull will be hoping Lennie has guided City to the top of Div 2 come 4.50pm on Saturday. Lennie's record since taking over is awesome. His only defeat was the p*** o** game against St**, even after a few months it's hard to say it. His results record is quite staggering.

17 league / play off games. 13 wins, 3 draws and that 1 defeat.
