I'm glad they are relishing the Brum match.......I feckin ain't!
Jason Jarrett has urged everyone to remain positive ahead of Tuesday night's rescheduled Championship clash against high-flying Birmingham City at the Walkers Stadium (7.45pm).
Saturday's 2-1 defeat to Norwich has left the Foxes just two points above the relegation zone with four matches remaining.
But while obviously disappointed, the on-loan midfielder believes the team can ill afford to dwell prior to the crunch clash.
"Obviously everyone is extremely disappointed because we were the better team in the first-half and should have finished them off," said Jarrett.
"We should have been two or three up at the break but we weren't and paid the price after half-time.
"We saw Darren Huckerby's quality; he was a handful and made us pay after the break.
"He created both of their goals but we shot ourselves in the foot and paid the price."
The Foxes are now without a victory in nine matches but despite the current situation, Jarrett insists that he and his team-mates are relishing the challenge against the third-placed Blues.
"Birmingham are a good side with a lot of quality but we know we definitely have enough quality in our side to win the game," he added.
"We need some points and quickly and that's why it's important we all stay positive.
"We are desperate for a win or two but there is no point talking about it, we need to do the business on the field."
Jarrett has also been impressed with new caretaker manager Nigel Worthington, who he also played under at Norwich.
"We were all upset to see Rob go because everyone respected him but the new manager has come in and been very professional.
"He knows what he wants and has a good way of putting it across.
"We will all be working together on the training pitches prior to Birmingham and hopefully it will prove to be enough to get us that all-important victory.
"I picked up a bit of a knock after colliding with James Wesolowski and could hardly walk, let alone run for the last half-hour at the weekend but hopefully I'll be fit for Tuesday night."
