adminLeicester City boss Gary Rowett admits he has no special words of wisdom for these player as they try to avoid relegation to League One.
Defeat against Hull City would send the Foxes down to the third tier once again exactly ten years after their historic Premier League title win under Claudio Ranieri.
Leicester’s poor form continued with a 1-0 loss to Portsmouth, leaving them eight points from safety with just nine points left to play for.
Rowett, who took over on an interim basis earlier this season, says the team must still show belief despite the situation.
“I can say we’ve got belief, but we need to show that in our performances and our results,” Rowett said ahead of the clash.
“I said to the players we’ve got to start hoping we get a little fortune from somewhere else. But I don’t like saying that as a manager. I’m not interested in what other teams do, I’m interested in what we do.
“We have to be professional. As a player, if I had three games to go and I was already relegated, I’d still want to win all three of those games. I don’t care. It’s about pride and your own personal standards.
“For me, we turn up Tuesday and we have to do everything we can to win the game. It’s easy saying it. We’ve had two or three opportunities to show that extra bit of drive and we haven’t quite find it. We have to see if we can find it Tuesday.
“(I said to the players) I’ve got no words of wisdom to make it feel better. I’ve got no words of wisdom to make Tuesday feel so easy to win that game.
“The players are paid a decent amount of money to be professional. I don’t care what the league looks like, what position we’re in, I’d be fighting to feel better about myself in the last three games. That’s going to be what we’re trying to do.”
