Leicestershire

Former Leicester City interim manager Michael Appleton joined Owynn Palmer-Atkin and The Fosse Way's David Bevan to discuss Leicester's poor form on the When You're Smiling podcast.

"Leicester need a result from somewhere and that result has got to come quickly. It's a very difficult position. Losing games of football is just as much of a habit as winning matches. It just comes down to confidence and momentum. When you go on a losing streak, things come less naturally to you," said Appleton.

Bevan added: "You look at the stats. They have lost 13 in 14, haven't scored a goal at home in seven games. It is really difficult to have any optimism about even reaching Wolves' current tally to be honest."

Wolves are 17th in the league and have 26 points, nine more than the Foxes.

"Even as a manager, losing this many games and not scoring any goals without a change being made is kind of unprecedented in my time supporting the club. It speaks to a lack of ambition but it feels to me that the only reason they haven't made a change is because of the financial restrictions and even that is down to long-term decision making that the club is responsible for," Bevan continued.

Leicester's most recent league match, where they lost 3-0 against Manchester United, meant they became the first team in English top-flight history to lose seven home games in succession while failing to score in each.

"We just want to see something a little bit different for those final few games. It really feels at the moment like the whole club is on auto pilot."

We asked for you to tell us one thing that no-one is talking about at Leicester.

Here are some of your comments:

Mark: What no-one wants to talk about - is it time for Jamie Vardy to retire?

Barney: We all share some blame for where we are. The fans who are most vocal regarding Rudkin and the board were the ones who vehemently wanted Steve Cooper out (far too early). Board capitulated to pressure. Biggest problem has been fair pay rules which meant we had to sell top players over many years and if you then don't get the quality right (which is very difficult) you are in difficulties.

Ian: Danny Ward was blamed for taking us down two seasons ago, yet Mads Hermansen is getting no mention or blame as all of it is focused on striker, defence and quality issues.

Chris: Odsonne Edouard - he's played about 30 Premier League minutes under two managers yet never gets mentioned?

Tom: Who is actually running the club? Is it Top? Rudkin? Because it seems like the wheels have fallen off right at the board level and it is filtering down to the pitch. No leadership, no direction, zero commitment and communication.
