There is a very good statement from the chairman posted on-line. His family have supported Leicester for many years now and most people recognise how much that has meant to the city.
I think many in the current team need to think long and hard as to whether they tried their hardest for the money that they were paid. There are many tens of thousands of fans, worldwide, who support the Foxes who are now very let down.
But we will rebuild and be back in the PL!

If you thinks that statement is 'very good', get a load of the one from The Foxes Trust.
It'll blow your mind!

A great comeback from the Foxes today to beat Cov 2-1.
I'm impressed with the newcomers Doyle, Mavididi and our new keeper, Hermansen.

KDH doing the business for us in the second half. Good stuff.

Dominated the ball first 45 mins but Cov still had lots of chances. First 30 mins of the second half it was all Cov, we're lucky it wasn't 4-0. KDH scoring two good goals the difference. The standard of football in this league is so poor, been ages since I've saw it live.

Couple of changes needed, need Coady back ASAP for Vestegaard, need Ndidi dropping for one of the new signings and I reckon McAteer will be dropped for a new winger as well. We'll get a couple of loans in this week IMO.

Massive 3 points, off to a good start, confidence brewing.

It certainly ended up being a good start to the season. Let us hope for a quick bounce back to the PL.

Agree. I don't think we'll be seeing much more of Ndidi (hopefully). He got subbed, the new manager obviously not impressed.

Ugly win, exactly what you need in this league.

Master of the understatement!

After their first 3 wins, I read that the last time the Foxes did that was 1922 wobble
Now 5 (in all competitions) - must be their best start EVER, surely!!
Long may it last woohoo

Oh dear, simply not good enough. Hull were pretty well organised, we were below par, particularly McAteer.

As for just 3 minutes added on at the end, wtf.

After the great start to this season, this loss now may make the Foxes a lot less complacent...which should make them fight harder to bounce back up to the PL. Lets us hope so!

Always said this week would define our season as a whole, away games at Southampton and Norwich are two of the toughest you can get (although Southampton are looking crap atm), and we managed to win both, whilst only conceding one goal, which was an error from ourselves. Rode our luck slightly at times last night, but defended well, rested 3 or 4 of the first team as well, so they'll now be fresh for Saturday vs. Bristol City.

Excellent times to be a Leicester City fan, Enzo has put his stamp on the club in his short period here and it feels great to have a manager that seems to be passionate for the football club and cares about the fans, unlike the last clown we had as a permanent manager.

I think Leicester are the stand-out team in the Championship this season and will be really surprised if you're not promoted as champions. Yes you lost some good players in the summer but you got decent money for most of them and appear to have reinvested it wisely whilst (presumably!) adhering to the rules on FFP.

A reasonably good performance against Pearson's bunch, definitely a penalty and put away with aplomb by Vardy.
All we need to do now is keep this up.

They were awful, expected much more from a team sitting in the top 6, think there only shot on target was a free kick in injury time?

I think the table will change a lot after another 3 games, I fully expect Leeds to stay 6th or higher until the end of the season.

Another 6 points in the next 3 games would be nice. 7 or more would be amazing.

The loss to Liverpool might be a good thing as they can now concentrate on returning to the PL. As LL says the next three games will really count.
