    Two games into the Championship season and Leicester fans were already on edge about facing a newly-promoted Charlton at The Valley, such is the feeling in the camp at present.

    Charlton were coming into the game full of confidence and a robust defensive record, whereas Leicester have had a disappointing, stuttering start to their campaign.

    The behaviour of both fans and players has been a hot topic at the club.

    Fans have questioned the commitment of the players, with Harry Winks' lack of goal celebration in the EFL Cup game at Huddersfield and walking straight down the tunnel after the Preston defeat, plus Wout Faes cupping his ear to fans in response to his winning goal against Sheffield Wednesday, having been booed onto the pitch as a substitute.

    In defence of his peers, Abdul Fatawu wrote a heartfelt response to fans, asking for unity in both the wins and the losses.

    Fatawu is a fan favourite and it seemed fitting that it was his wonder strike that sealed victory with the only goal of the game at Charlton.

    Nathan Jones called it a "one in a million" goal that snatched the points off the Addicks, but if he checked the form guide he would see that this is the second time in a month that Fatawu has scored such a goal... maybe someone didn't do their homework.

    To boo or not to boo? That is the question. While opinions are always mixed amongst fans over players, tactics, transfers and the now ever-present PSR, Leicester fans need to ensure such opinions, especially on matchdays, do not divide us as a fanbase.
