ALAN WRIGHT says Cheltenham Town must re-create the spirit of last season's double victory over Leeds United when Leicester City come to Whaddon Road this afternoon.

The Robins were the only side to do the double over the Elland Road big boys last season, and now the relegated Foxes are in their sights.

After being under pressure for the majority of the game at Whaddon Road, Steven Gillespie grabbed an 86th-minute winner to shock Leeds, and Wright says that win should give them the confidence to go out and do it again.

Leicester have started well, and sit in second place in League One, behind 100 per-cent side Oldham, after two wins and a draw from three games.

"Leicester will have some good players but they are in League One for a reason – they are League One players now, not Championship players," said 36-year-old Wright.

"It might be similar to the Leeds game last season, and we have to set out to keep it tight.

"We might have to sit a bit deeper but we will get chances and the aim will be to keep them out and nick one or two ourselves."

Wright and his colleagues got an insight into what sort of game they can expect in Tuesday night's 3-2 Carling Cup defeat by Tony Pulis' uncompromising Stoke City side.

The Robins put up a game display but goals from Glenn Whelan, Richard Cresswell and Jon Parkin edged them out.

"Stoke were awkward, they had big lads up front, but I thought the referee gave them a few decisions, while our smaller lads were going over and getting nothing," said Wright, who picked up the sponsors' man-of-the-match champagne from Tuesday's game. "It was frustrating and the consistency wasn't there in my view.

"They made a lot of changes from the team which beat Villa last weekend, but most of the side they fielded could get into their first team in the Premier League.

"We knew what to expect from a Tony Pulis team, that's how he sets his sides out, and we are expecting a similar thing at the weekend against Leicester.

"Steve Howard will be another tricky test for us. Matt Fryatt will just play off him and he is a good player, and they will have a lot of big strong lads."

But Cheltenham's players had another reason for going out to put in a committed display against Stoke – the fury of boss Keith Downing after the 4-0 capitulation at Oldham last weekend was still ringing in their ears.

"We spoke before the game and said we wanted a response," said Wright. "It was a more committed performance but it does not pay back what happened last Saturday, as we were disappointed with the result.

"It was good for us to have a game so quickly after last Saturday. If we had waited until this weekend it might have preyed on our minds a bit longer.

"Before the Stoke game it was still on our minds, then we went out and could put it to bed straight away, but the performance will have to be just as good on Saturday.

"Keith was right to be angry, and if you lined all the players up and asked them they would agree.

"Credit to him for the way he dealt with it, it was the right way to do it and we had a frank meeting on Monday.

"We had a couple of wins before that against Southend and Swindon and maybe we started to think we were better than we are.

"Oldham brought us back down to earth, and we played a bit more of a direct style against Stoke.

"We created chances against a very good side, and there is no reason why we can't do the same against Leicester this weekend."
