We made the headlines for getting a new manager in every week! Deeney, speaking exclusively to Soccer Saturday ahead of a Saturday Night Football clash with Watford, told Sky Sports.From the players point of view, it didnt affect the dressing room too much. We had a strong mentality, and said to ourselves: This is going to be the year to go up.If we didnt, quite a few would have left - myself included - so we had a real good go and it worked out well.It has been brilliant so far. Everybody thought we were going to go down, with another new manager coming in and all the pundits didnt have us down for a win until December.

Ed Chamberlin and Jamie Redknapp preview Leicesters Saturday Night Football clash with Watford If either team would have gone up at that time, we would not have given ourselves a fighting chance in the Premier League, Deeney said.It didnt look like it at the time, but it worked out well for both clubs. Leicester had a fantastic season the season after and won the Championship.They then didnt start off well in the Premier League, but in the last 18 months it has become something of a fairy-tale.You have to look at them for inspiration. Robert Huth has been amazing, [NGolo] Kante has been getting all the headlines, but if you look at the rest of the team, then it is pretty much the team that went up. Odion Ighalo and Troy Deeney have formed an impressive partnership at Watford You have to give them credit for that. They didnt come up and say that the Championship players were not good enough, and then went out and signed loads of Premier League players.Many doubted Deeney had the ability to make the step up to the top flight, but the Hornets skipper has formed one of the deadliest strike duos in the division with Odion Ighalo.Ive been here six or seven years now, and I am at the point where I have done all the hard stuff now, when there wasnt enough kit to go around, and now I am making sure I am here to enjoy the riches, Deeney added.
