Foxes in desperate need of reinforcements
Leicester are on the slide after a fourth straight Premier League defeat since the resumption after the World Cup.Boss Brendan Rodgers is desperate for reinforcements this month and fans at the City Ground called out the club's board with banners and chants in the away end.
One of the accusations was that the board are missing in action, including chairman Aiyawatt 'Top' Srivaddhanaprabha.
But Rodgers said: "I don't have regular conversations with the chairman. When Top's over, I see him.
"But, the board and the people behind the scenes, they are trying to get in the players we want to help us improve, and I've always felt that support. That's continued."
Rodgers says he has sympathy with the fans for the club's current plight.
"It's very difficult for the supporters," he said. "They've had a great run here over the past few years.
"It's really difficult for them. They don't see the progress in the team and the squad from where we've been. It's a challenging one for them.
"I have empathy for the supporters, especially a local derby, when you lose. You have to continue to fight and stay together and show solidarity.
"If we do that and we get some of our players back, that can hopefully bring us back to the level again."
