OS said:Maybury Calls For United Approach
Alan Maybury has urged City's supporters to stick by the team despite their disappointing start to the season.
Tuesday night's 1-0 defeat at the hands of Burnley came off the back of a 2-0 loss at Luton Town on Saturday, leaving the Foxes with no points and no goals to their name so far this term.
"Of course, we are all disappointed," said Maybury. "We wanted to make amends after Saturday's defeat but we didn't really perform again and were left chasing the game.
"We started brightly and created a couple of chances but as the first half wore on Burnley got stronger, hit the bar twice in quick succession and that seemed to rattle us.
"We conceded from another set-piece and were up against it after that. In this division, it seems vitally important to get that first goal."
However, the Irish international believes there is no reason to press the panic button after just two matches with the players already focusing all their efforts on this Saturday's visit of Ipswich Town.
He added: "Our form over the last few days is a concern but we are determined to fix it.
"It is only the first week of the season and is certainly not a time to start panicking.
"If we win the next 44 matches then no-one will really care about the opening two games!
"I am sure it is difficult being a supporter of Leicester City. We didn't give the fans much to cheer about last season until towards the end, expectation levels were then raised a little.
"We've now lost the first two and they probably think 'here we go again'.
"Of course, we want the fans to cheer us on but we need to give them something to cheer about first.
"Therefore, the quicker we fix things the better, and a win over Ipswich on Saturday would do us all the world of good."
