Vital to cut out these errors, says Leicester City captain Wes Morgan
Captain Wes Morgan said Leicester City must work hard to eradicate the defensive lapses that are proving so costly away from home.
City slipped to their third straight away defeat at Wolves yesterday as they never recovered from conceding two poor goals from set-pieces in the first 20 minutes.

Leicester City manager Nigel Pearson consoles a dejected Wes Morgan
Paul Konchesky scored a sensational goal to drag them back into the game and Martyn Waghorn hit a post late on, but Morgan said City were leaving themselves too much to do.
"It is very frustrating," he said. "We work hard all week to try to stop conceding these goals from free-kicks and corners, but it hasn't gone our way again. We have conceded two goals from set-pieces.

"We just have to watch the videos, see where the mistakes were made and sort it out.
"Wolves are a big side and, one of their strengths this season will be from set plays, so we have to give them credit, but we are very disappointed in ourselves."
Morgan finished the game as a makeshift striker as City searched for an equaliser, and he admits it is becoming too frequent a sight.
"Needs must sometimes, but I would rather not be up there because that would mean we weren't chasing the game," he said.
"If I can help get something out of the game I will go up there and put my body on the line.
"But it is disappointing because we feel we should be getting something out of these away games and we aren't. It isn't working out for us at the moment.
"The first half was very disappointing but in the second half we created some great chances to score and we were on top for the majority of the half.
"We didn't convert them but, if we had, it could have been a whole different story.
"I am sure sooner or later our luck will change and teams can't keep on managing to come out for the second halves and manage to keep us at bay.
"Unfortunately it has happened again so we just have to put it right."

“Peltier not good enough last season ans De Laet no improvement for me.
Koncheski still flatters to deceive. Even his goal can't hide his failings. Only Schlupp showed ok there!
James conspicuous by his absence (that's when he plays) what does he do?
Strikers too lightweight and Beckford no good when he get an opportunity.
Danns, Waghorn, St Ledger etc etc, they all look below standard to me when they play.
A good game here and a good game there isn't enough for this league.
I support the manager but surely we can attract better than this lot!
It's just that we keep on waiting for it all to click don't we and we all want those not in the team to get in but when they do they are rubbish and then we want the others back and round and round we go!
Where are the solid consistant players that our supporters deserve TOP?”

“De Laet not upto standard play the young lad Moore at right back play SSL at the side of Morgan and I would I hope I spell it right play Geoff Schulp at left back he has played there before he knows the position well ,he his trying hard to get into the Team play him at left back don't forget before anyone says something ,we have played Walshy and Elliot up front ,give Neil Danns a run in the midfield we need a ball winner has for Pearson I don't think he can take us up he can't motivate the players a N_N would have more passion than him so bye bye give us a manager hat will motivate everyone ,then see upstart winning,let Beckford go he his not interested in playing for us
Come on you Blues”

“Morgan great signing and natural leader. SSL average at best, Moore great prospect but cant rely on him too much too soon, konchesky and delaet good going forward woeful in defence and konchesky gives ball away too much, whitbread will we ever see him fit?
Would have been better off keeping mills or bamba and peltier. Well done Nigel real shrewd transfer dealings!!!”

“foxeerod good post. Im just fed up like most folk are. I think NP is on very thin ice right now. He knows it too hence his comments about patience. Yes these plyers will be the end of him. He picks em though whether unfit or playing rubbish he turfs them out.”

“I agree De Laet seems to ball watch a little. He was all over the place yesterday.
The full backs do seem to be a problem. We looked better with Moore at RB and SSL along side Morgan at CB. Konchesky still looks shaky for me. Loan a LB maybe?
Knockhaert should be starting for me. We look a sharper attacking force with him on the pitch!”

“ok dobber i agree with part of what you say about de laet, but im sure he gets coached in training every day, but at the minute a lot of the mistakes have been down to him.
so either he hasnt settled or hes lacking in confidence or ...hes just not good enough. whichever one it is , we will find out , if its the first two ,things may soon improve for him , if its the latter he will be dropped.
whitbread ,im sure , will be fine once fit, remember pearson acknowledges he has always had injury problems throughout his career and stated he wanted him 110% fit so that he stays fit , and considering he hasnt played in the league yet, no blame can be attached to him for our so called defensive frailties.
as you state , moore is a kid coming on . so we have to expect the odd mistake, and hopefully , he will learn from them, but ive been impressed with him overall.
finally wellens legs probably have gone ,but he may still have a part to play , even if its only a bit part , but once again , no blame can be attatched to him for any of this seasons results cuz hes not played yet either .
i think currently we have two weak links in defence , the two full backs, i think both de laet and konchesky are quite good going forward , but poor in their defensive duties.
to my mind as defenders , they should concentrate on the defensive part of their game, especially when we are playing with wingers like marshall, dyer and knockaert .
i would not let them over the halfway line, ok wed miss the odd barnstormer of a goal like koncheskys yesterday ,but id rather our full backs didnt cock up in the first place , then we wouldnt have to score to bag a point.
but lets not get too down on our defence , here are two facts dobbo
of the 24 championship teams only 5 have let in less goals than leicester FACT
only one team in the championship have yet to concede a home goal, and that would be ... er leicester FACT
once our strikers start banging them in we will win consistently
up the mighty blue foxes”

“if np realises our defence needed attention, why sell 2 defenders and buy midfielders? we needed defenders, i think our midfield was fine as it was”

“It's a theme - 1 strong experienced defender in a weaker back four, with no midfield support, sooner or later people will be Blaming him rather than praising him Yorkie.”
