Dean Smith Manager
Manager Dean Smith has urged Leicester City to forget their fears against Wolverhampton Wanderers as they battle to save their Premier League skins. The Foxes host Wolves on Saturday sitting second bottom and two points from safety. Leicester also go to fellow strugglers Leeds on Tuesday before hosting Everton in a crucial spell and Smith believes his new side need to be brave.
Dean Smith said: “We can’t play with any fear. We’ve looked at the quality we have on the training ground, we haven’t brought that onto the pitch over the last eight or nine games. What I saw against Bournemouth (a 1-0 defeat) was a lethargy. We need to be free and play with confidence. We’re taking it one game at a time, we knew the Man City game was going to be a unique one, given the level they are at compared to pretty much everyone else. Everyone knows how important this fixture is, hopefully we get to see a lift from the players and we can start how we finished at Manchester City. You’re not going to be defined on that (game). The games which are coming up – we can only look at Wolves to start with. Our results at home haven’t been where they should be.”
