Two entertaining games in four days brought nine goals, but no points, and City's position is beginning to look grim. We are not cut adrift of course, one win could lift us out of the relegation zone, but that one win has proved to be very elusive.
Our last one was 11 weeks ago.
No-one could seriously accuse our players of not giving their all, you can see the effort going in, but they have looked like a good Championship side trying to compete in the Premier League.
No side has given City a thrashing yet, we haven't been embarrassed, but the opposition have always had enough to edge us out.
Lately, we have lacked presence in the penalty area, neither Kasper Schmeichel nor the central defenders have dominated and we have been too easy to score against.
As a fan who has witnessed many (many, many) seasons of struggle, a familiar scenario is beginning to unfold.
Fans are dividing up into two opposing camps – 'Pearson Must Go' and 'Pearson Must Stay' – and the debate is getting ugly both on social media and in the stands.
The strain is beginning to show everywhere. Towards the end of Tuesday night's 3-1 defeat against Liverpool Nigel Pearson got embroiled in a row with a supporter during which the tabloid newspapers claim that foul language was used by both parties.
While the club investigated exactly what happened, once again the supporters are polarised between those saying that Pearson was right to give some back, and those who think it was unbefitting of his position.
That win over Manchester United seems like a very long time ago...
Sunday evening brings a trip to Aston Villa for those who can be tempted to spend £42 to leave their firesides and TVs.
In the Premier League, they are our closest rivals and a few years back there was quite a bit of needle between the two clubs which has now subsided.
Villa, of course, didn't behave terribly well in poaching our manager Brian Little away from Filbert Street. And another part of the problem was City's refusal to lose to their supposedly more illustrious neighbours. This unbeaten run lasted for 14 games through the 1990s and into the new millennium.
This may have irked Villa chairman Doug Ellis, as we discovered while then-Villa boss John Gregory was in the process of falling out with him.
Gregory revealed in an interview: "He thinks our training ground is the best in the country and certainly when it was built 25 years ago it was super-duper. But since then other clubs have caught up with us. We've got our own chef now, and the chairman will say to me: 'I wonder what those people at Leicester City are having today, John? Probably beans on toast'."
That didn't go down very well in these parts, and as fate would have it, we were soon drawn to play at Villa in the fourth round of the FA Cup. Beans on Toast City won the game 2-1 with goals from Ade Akinbiyi and Arnar Gunnlaugsson and Ellis was left with egg on his face.
The same scoreline will do very nicely on Sunday.
