This afternoon's 3-1 defeat to the Royals was arguably Leicester's most disappointing performance of the season. Foxes fans have clocked up 500 miles in 4 days this week, with trips to Bristol City and Reading. They have seen their team clock up 6 goals against, put 0 points on the board and turn in two weak, lacklustre performances. The league season is effectively over and next Sunday's trip to Chelsea offers the players a last chance to give the fans something to cheer about this season. After that cup tie, Pearson must turn his attention to recruiting new players for the next campaign and introduce some of the Academy players to the first team squad. Calls for Pearson to be sacked are ludicrous. Leicester have swapped their manager year in year out for a decade and must strive for continuity if they are to have any hope of achieving anything in the next few seasons.
As for today's game, goals from Leigertwood, Church and Roberts gave the home side a 3-0 lead before Danns pulled back a consolation for Leicester in the 90th minute. City were thoroughly outplayed , particularly in the first half. Howard and Bamba replaced Beckford and Kennedy at half-time and, although Leicester were marginally better in the second period, they never looked like getting anything out of the game. Pearson was clearly angry in his post match interview on BBC Radio Leicester and fans can expect a few team changes for Tuesday night's home game against Birmingham.
