Teams Clashing in Final Push—League Enthusiasts Brace for Thrilling Game!
BBC Radio Leicester summariser Matt Piper reflects on Leicester City's home defeat to QPR on the When You're Smiling podcast.
Leicester failed to build on their home win over Bristol City and are back to second-bottom of the Championship after they allowed a 1-0 lead to slip to lose 3-1 at home to QPR on Saturday. Former Foxes winger and BBC Radio Leicester summariser Matt Piper said it had been "just so disappointing". "There was a little bit of excitement before the game.
I thought we'd get a similar performance to Tuesday night - one of the best of the season," he said. "I felt really confident, the hope has come back into my consciousness since Gary Rowett has come in, but this was back to as bad as I've seen it. "They started brightly, there was some excitement in the stands, but from 25 minutes onwards it just all drained away.
"As soon as QPR scored, as we've seen pretty much all season, there's not enough characters in the group. As soon as adversity strikes they just crumble. Then it became passive, lacklustre, a game where they had no energy, no belief, and QPR had all of that, and in the end deserved all three points.
" Piper added: "I don't think I've ever used the term Jekyll and Hyde so much as I have this season. There's not enough desire in the group and they have shown it again. "Until they give us evidence otherwise, we've been seeing the players don't want it, for the majority of the season.
