Craig Levein says he still has full belief in his side despite their 1-0 defeat at the hands of Cardiff City at Ninian Park on Tuesday evening.
The Foxes went into the game on the back of a 2-0 home victory over Sheffield Wednesday at the weekend.
But a Michael Ricketts goal for the Bluebirds just eight minutes into the contest proved to be enough on the night.
Speaking after the game, Levein said: "It was another game that I think we should have got something from and that seems to be quite a reoccurring theme. I don't think that our goalkeeper has had a save to make in the 90 minutes, but we have still lost the game.
"I am disappointed, as you can probably imagine, and there is a fair element of frustration in there as well.
"We worked hard but didn't get anything out of the game.
"It was frustrating. In some parts of the game we were good and we had some decent chances. But we probably didn't make their goalkeeper work hard enough.
"This result doesn't alter my belief that we are a decent side. Results may not indicate that, but it doesn't change my mind. I feel that we have had the chance to win every game so far and that was the case again tonight."
The Foxes had a goal disallowed in the closing stages of the game when Alan Maybury was adjudged to have been offside when finishing from close range.
Levein added: "I spoke to the linesman and he told me that in his opinion it was offside. I will just have to get over that because there is not an awful lot I can say. He had a better view than me so no matter what I say it isn't going to change anything."
that is the worst comment he has made so far he is makin excuses!!
whos cares whether it was off side or not, the result wont change!!!! it makes me sick when managers blames 'mistakes' in the game. All right it might not be Leveins fault we lost but he should say that not bring up a little conversation he had.
