MORE FOOTBALL INSIDER STORIES Recorded and posted by @craiglcfc on X, while it is unclear if he took exception to something one supporter said, it was clear for all to hear exactly how the 30-year-old felt about it.Winks replied with an X-rated response before being ushered onto the team coach, with the pressure getting to the Leicester team after six straight games without victory.The main positive is that Oxford United lost 1-0 to Derby County, but Blackburn Rovers gained a point against Coventry City, and West Brom are performing much better under James Morrison.Foxes have every right to fume at referee Gavin WardThe Foxes’ 1-0 defeat was a game of fine margins, and had referee Gavin Ward been at his best at Fratton Park, the result may have tilted in the opposite direction.Many will feel that Patson Daka should have been awarded a penalty in the 10th minute, having been tripped by Conor Shaughnessy, only for their claims to be waved away pretty quickly.It could also be argued that Bowat’s winning goal could have been disallowed for handball. Had it been scored in the Premier League, there is every chance that VAR would have overturned the decision.Both of these decisions had a huge impact on the end result, but Leicester can’t cry about it now.
They simply have to focus on winning the three remaining games against Hull, Millwall, and Blackburn. 🦊 Don’t Miss a Beat: Your Leicester City Insider Access Get the full story from the King Power and Seagrave with our dedicated expert hubs: Updated 24/7 with expert analysis from the East Midlands.
