Ex-Leicester captain Elliott encouraged by Rodgers work

Former Leicester City captain Matt Elliott is encouraged by what he's seen from manager Brendan Rodgers.

The Foxes will be hoping the good run of results that saw them accrue 19 points from a possible 30 in Rodgers' matches carries into next season.

"There's a wave of optimism for the future," Elliott told LCFCTV.

"Without doubt, there is a real air of positivity and expectation for the future.

"There's a vision there. He (Rodgers) has a way of how see sees the Club moving forward under his tutelage and the players certainly look to be buying into that.

"He's developing his approach, his style, already in the short time he's been at the club. There's been an extra focus about the attacking side of Leicester's game.

"Brendan speaks a lot about structure, but he's added an extra dimension to the team with an attacking emphasis with the midfielders and full-backs also being pushed up further.

"He's got a winner's mentality, his track record proves that. The people who can be on his level at the football club will go with him on that journey, but he won't be carrying people."
