But the former Coventry City striker says it is like "water off a duck's back" to him.

Leon Best: "I think, in a way, the critics do help us.

"I've had critics all my life, and I enjoy proving people wrong. It's been unbelievable, and we're delighted (with the start to the season).

"When people say things, it only increases our morale and brings us closer.

"I had shots blocked against Wolves, and I probably could have shot more, but Demba Ba was in better positions and I've played him in.

"I'd be delighted for him to score as much as myself.

"If we're scoring goals, we're winning games.

"That's the main thing. If we're successful individually, we're going to be successful as a team.

"We play for each other and gain each other's trust. We believe in each other on and off the pitch.

"The most important thing to do before the international break was to get up to 15 points. We wanted to stay in the top four, and we've done that."

"We are showing we can play football, score goals and win games.

"We need to keep winning, and 15 points from seven games speaks for itself."
