Report: £8m Leicester star reacts to Wolves defeat with social media post

Conor Coady released an honest message to social media after Leicester City’s loss against Wolves on Sunday.

Coady started and played the full 90 minutes in the Foxes’ 3-0 defeat against Wolves which has Leicester looking over their shoulders going into the Christmas period.

The defender was involved in the first goal as he failed to react quick enough to Goncalo Guedes, who bundled the ball home past Danny Ward to give the away side the lead.

It was an extremely disappointing afternoon for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s side which included two Leicester players being booed by the fans.

Conor Coady provides honest reaction to Leicester defeat

Conor Coady is one of Leicester’s most experienced players in the Leicester dressing room and is seen as a leader to others.

His presence at the back had been reassuring in the first couple weeks of Van Nistelrooy’s tenure but the last two games have seen him form part of a defence that has conceded seven goals in two games.

Robert Huth also provided the nuts stat that revealed the Foxes had shipped 14 goals in their last five.

But, as one of the key figures in the dressing room, Coady stood up strong and admitted the team haven’t been good enough.

Writing on Instagram, he said: “Absolutely nowhere near the level this club demands, this league gives you absolutely nothing and it’s our responsibility to dig deep to find a performance that resonates being a Leicester City player and one people expect…

“Every fixture brings challenges but we have to be strong enough to stand up to it … Only us in Leicester blue can change it.”

Leicester must look at centre-back position in January

Despite plenty of investment, one area that still remains weaker than others for Leicester is the centre-back role.

Wout Faes, Jannik Vestergaard, Coady and Caleb Okoli have all been inconsistent and failed to nail down a regular slot.
