Leicester City’s concerning pattern that must be broken if Russell Martin is to be proved right

Josh Holland of Leicestershire Live writes that Leicester City must fix issues at both ends of the pitch following a 2-1 EFL Trophy defeat to Stevenage. Despite dominating possession and recording 21 shots, Leicester suffered defensive lapses that allowed goals from Wanya Marcal and Oliver Sanderson before Emil Riis scored a consolation goal.

Manager Russell Martin defended his attacking philosophy, highlighting that the Foxes have generated 140 shots across seven games. However, Holland argues that Leicester have won only three of those fixtures and must quickly improve their clinical finishing and defensive sharpness in upcoming League One matches.
