A win is vital for us now, says Leicester City skipper Wes Morgan
Leicester City captain Wes Morgan said the players should not waste time feeling sorry for themselves after their third consecutive away defeat at Wolves.
City succumbed 2-1 to Wolves at Molineux as their wait for their first away points of the season continues.
They now face Burnley and Hull at the King Power Stadium in the space of five days – the Clarets up first tonight – and Morgan said it was vital City bounce back.
The season may be only five games old, but Morgan said City could not afford to lose more ground on their promotion rivals and must embark on a morale-boosting unbeaten run.

"We have to put it right," he said. "It is at that point in the season now when the first few games are out of the way that we have to start picking up points and putting runs together.
"We have to start from tomorrow night, to get some points on the board and get ourselves going.
"Our home form has been good and we haven't conceded a goal in the league at home so far, so we will be confident. We will have to approach it in the right way, like we always do.
"It will be a tough, but we are there to do a job.
"Confidence is still high because there have been plenty of positives from our games.
"We have to pick ourselves up from this disappointment (against Wolves) and go again.
"We are disappointed with the result but we have another game (tomorrow) and we need to be picked up, focus on that game.
"We can't be feeling sorry for ourselves because of this result. We have to go again."
Morgan believes manager Nigel Pearson may shake up his side for the visit of the Clarets, and he believes there is plenty of quality in the squad to step in.
"The subs are there to come on and influence a game, and that is exactly what they did on Sunday," said Morgan.
"They created some chances and were a menace when they came on.
"If you look at our bench, we have got players who can come on and change it.
"I am sure the gaffer has a lot to think about because we need the win, and he might change it. We will have to wait and see."

“I assume all the players will be given the new I phone 5 at least then, with the bigger screen, they won't need to scroll down to find out where they are in the table. There is no chance of promotion with NP around and we can't sack him as who would want the job working for trigger happy Thai owners with over inflated expectations. Nobody did last time, thats why we had to settle for about tenth choice then. Its going to be a long road back.”

“I don't how people can say we are unlucky and that we are playing good football. We are playing relegation football at the moment. Even against Peterborough we lacked control and passion.
We are years away from building a Premiership quality team.
The defence doesn't defend, there's no steel or imagination in the midfield and we don't have a goalscorer. Vardy isn't learning. He's mid 20's and he's as good as he is ever going to get. Which isn't good enough for a promotion hunting side in the Championship. Must go for my medication, the nurse is here.”

“Are we playing well - really? Or are we like an Alfa Romeo - looks good, but you know that one day it will break down, and when it does - you'll be looking for a new one rather than trying to fix it.”

“The only way that Beckford will ever "shine" is if you polish his head.
It amazes me how people can be so guillable as to prefer to believe what they are told about a player, rather than what they see with their own eyes.
Beckford has not produced a single performance of note in over a year for LCFC. His performance against Blackpool was woeful. FACTOID.
Anyone who thinks that Beckford is the answer has no idea what the question is. SIMPLES.”

“i read nothing positive regarding lcfc lately , which is not surprising . i agree , "winning breeds winning", always have as it is 100 % correct . so can i ask what are we breeding at the mo ? once the press ask managers questions about their job they're usually doomed . can i see a remarkable change of results/form/a start to dominate games/ be confident of my teams performance........ ermm ?”

“Beckford strike ratio wasnt that great, but he is a confidence player. When his head is down he couldnt hit a barn door with a shotgun. When happy he is a handful!”

“Geoff - the only part i disagree with from your post regards getting a proven finisher. Jermaine Beckford is nothing if not a proven finisher. He needs to be starting the games. Who exactly can you get in on loan that is a proven finisher and also works hard and has a good attitude? If the hard worker and attitude aspects are not important to you then i say just keep Beckford.”
