Alan Maybury has insisted that the Foxes must rediscover that winning formula (when the hell did we last have a winning formula?) quickly if they are to avoid becoming embroiled in a Championship basement battle. (would you not call 20th place and 3 points from the relegation zone a basement battle?)
City slipped to 20th in the table following Saturday's 4-1 defeat to Sheffield Wednesday and have now lost four on the trot.
He said: "There is no denying that we are on a bad run and we need to put a stop to it as quickly as possible if we are to avoid what happened to us last season.
"We were in a worse position than this last term (no we weren't) and ended up having to produce Championship winning form to get ourselves out of the mess.
"It's asking a lot to keep doing that (why? that's what your paid for! and it's how you get out of shitty league FFS) and that's why we need to find the answers from somewhere before it is too late.
"We are not a million miles away and have got some good players here but it's the little things that make a difference and it just wasn't our day against Sheffield.
"I didn't think it was a penalty, and I didn't think it was a sending off but saying that three of their four goals were wonder strikes which we couldn't do a lot about.
"At 2-1, even with 10-men, I felt we had a bit of momentum and had a couple of chances through Elvis and Levi which on another day could have helped get us something out of the game.
"However, a succession of things went against us but at times we don't help ourselves and that's why the result was hugely disappointing."
Nonetheless, Maybury knows that the squad can ill afford to dwell and must dust themselves down, pick themselves up and start all over again next Saturday when they travel to Midlands rivals Wolves.
"There is no point in sulking and getting down about this result.
"We can't do anything about it now and 4-1 is the same as getting beaten 1-0.
"We must pick ourselves up and the one thing about this league is that there are plenty of more games to play (for how long) and they do come thick and fast.
"It was just one of those days (oh that's alright then!) - I've had them before and am sure will have them again (I bloody well hope not) but we must keep our heads up and keep battling."
I'm sorry but that is the biggest load of bullshit I've seen for many a day.
