Former Leicester striker Jermaine Beckford has urged manager Russell Martin to alter his approach amid supporter discontent. Martin remains Leicester City's manager for now.
Leicester's poor opening results
Leicester picked up just two victories through their opening six games in all competitions in 2026-27. They also suffered a 4-0 home defeat to Oxford United.
Leicester outside the play-off places
Leicester are 10th in the third tier table after 13 rounds of fixtures, three points adrift of the play-off places.
Beckford calls for a change in style
Jermaine Beckford said Martin needs to keep Leicester's fans on side and listen to what they are asking for. He also said Martin should move away from his usual approach and mix up Leicester's style of play.
The former Leicester striker told GOAL: “That is often the case, unless you're picking up the results. Leicester currently are in a bit of a funny position. I say currently, Leicester over the last couple of years have been in a really bad place.”
Beckford added: “Yes, which to an extent is quite admirable. It's also very damning if you and your fans are watching something that everybody can see is not working and you stick to it. That's the definition of madness, really.”
Oxford City and Huddersfield fixtures
Leicester were scheduled to play Oxford City away in the FA Cup first round on Friday. They were scheduled to return to League One action away at Huddersfield on 21 November.
