What it’s really like in the Leicester away end at a Midlands derby

For all the criticism of the fans, Foxes supporters can credit themselves for braving terrible weather and a continuing lack of creativity despite some improvements. Ultimately, defeat after defeat only makes supporters less excited and to cheer about. Therefore an increasingly flat away end is expected as fans become increasingly apathetic at watching the same things happen every week.

The game itself

Leicester City played fairly well and it was disappointing that they came out with nothing. Whilst LCFC dominated possession, chances were hard to come by against a solid Wolves side. Nevertheless, Leicester had a big chance in Lookman’s goal, as well as a few half-chances. Considering Wolves’ defensive record, this wasn’t bad at all.

Once again, however, conceding cheap goals from outside the box is exasperating. The defence looked solid otherwise except for the evident groans every time Wolves got a set-piece. Although they didn’t score from one, the nerves on the pitch translated to the fans as Leicester City failed to win first contact on multiple occasions.

What Wolves showed was that despite not playing particularly well, they managed to grind out results, albeit with the aid of a couple of potentially dodgy refereeing decisions. Brendan Rodgers and LCFC must dig deep to find reserves of grit and resilience if he is to win back an increasingly disillusioned fanbase.
