Which players from Leicester City's loss to Preston North End can be considered losers on the day?! These so-called LCFC stars let the Foxes down in the Championship fixture. And they may now be at risk of losing their respective places in Marti Cifuentes' side - as well as three valuable points. Let's discover just which footballers were not themselves for some reason against the Lilywhites.
Foxes state of affairs
What I am getting at, is that City can't afford to take defeat in too many of these types of matches. Even when playing away from home at traditionally difficult and hostile grounds around the challenging second division.
Hopefully Cifuentes is learning valuable lessons. Not to mention my wish for the Catalan to be constantly banging on the door of the owners and director of football Jon Rudkin to demand appropriate signings!
Without suitable acquisitions or loans - even the C'ship Playoffs could be a pipe dream. The roster is good enough to gain promotion, although only when at their best. They aren't at present. The team must collectively improve. And its head coach faces a tough task.
Leicester City losers - these players let the side down vs Preston North End
First of all, one young Fox stood out again: Jeremy Monga. This is becoming a trend. Monga scored after leaving the substitute's bench; he received the highest rating of "8" via Leicester Mercury. Though he was the only positive here.
Jakub Stolarczyk's big mistake was cited alongside a poor score of 5. Though star player Abdul Fatawu only got a 4, the same rating as 'striker' Jordan Ayew. Meanwhile Luke Thomas, who regularly struggles, was also given 4.
"Abdul Fatawu: An off-day. He had very little joy against Small, who matched him for pace, and his crosses were often over-hit. His shot choice was poor too, albeit he did go close to a goal when sliding in. 4"Jordan Blackwell, LCFC Live
