A disastrous night transpired on the South Coast for Leicester City Football Club on Tuesday night. First of all the Foxes lost young defender Bade Aluko after he was booked twice and consequently sent off. Unfortunately the left back's full senior debut ended in embarrassment, regret and a significant lesson to take home. The Blue Army fan base won't have turned their backs on the youngster yet - but he must return more matured.

Yet Aluko's error wasn't chiefly to blame for the loss, plenty of other people including LCFC head coach Marti Cifuentes made mistakes. Obviously the boss's problems mainly relate to team selection, motivational techniques (or a lack thereof) in-game decisions.

In addition to the management getting it wrong, many of the Leicester players on the pitch can be accused of lacking dedication. Commitment and the desire to win for the away support at all costs is questionable too. Aside from those matters, quality is at a minimum.

All this is enough for certain vocal members of the King Power faithful to become fed up with the former Queens Park Rangers man once again. We thought we may have turned a corner with the 43-year-old. Although, maybe Cifuentes isn't the right man to get a tune out of a poorly motivated and skilled squad at this level overall.

Leicester City supporters have once more demand Marti Cifuentes dismissal

While Cifuentes was not backed, or given the correct 'tools' at a club in trouble on and off the field of play, he hasn't proven himself particularly worthy of such a job. And the Foxes fans are becoming tired of the underwhelming performances and results.

However, the support does understand that others are mainly responsible: chairman Aiyawatt (Khun Top) Srivaddhanaprabha and director of football Jon Rudkin. Nevertheless, supporters often wish to vent their anger; requiring a front man to blame. Posting a flag photograph is a way of asking for the official sack notice from LCFC.
