Fans were right to give us stick, says Schmeichel

Kasper Schmeichel said he could feel the fans' pain after Leicester City's disappointing home defeat to Barnsley on Saturday.

The City goalkeeper was one of the few players to emerge with credit after a poor collective display which was booed by home fans in the King Power Stadium.

Schmeichel said he could not blame the supporters for venting their feelings towards the players.

City have not won at home for four games and Schmeichel said the criticism was justified, but he also warned that the stick could affect some players negatively.

"I understand 100 per-cent what the fans are going through," said Schmeichel.

"I am in a little bit of a different situation to the other players in the outfield in that I am detached, like the fans are, so I feel the same frustration as they do.

"I understand them. I am a football fan also. I have complete empathy with them.

"It shouldn't affect the players, but what I would say is I don't think all players have the same mental strength to handle the pressure sometimes.

"But, at a big club like Leicester, you have to."

Schmeichel said the mood in the City camp was equally as sombre as among the supporters, and he admitted he was at a loss to explain how City could perform so badly. "The mood is of dejection, frustration and disappointment," Schmeichel said.

"It is all well and good being like that after the game, we have to perform.

"I can't put my finger on it. We are just lacking the killer instinct at the moment. We are creating half-chances but not 100 per-cent chances and putting them away. "

Schmeichel produced a string of excellent saves to deny Barnsley on the break as City left themselves open as they searched in vain for an equaliser, and he said it was inevitable he would be busy as City went for broke.

"The second half you can't compare because we were a goal behind at home and you have to push on for it," he said.

"When you are one behind you have to push men forward but that is no excuse for the first half when we got caught on the break."

This is key and this what we need to sort out get rid of the players who don't have this, we are regressing on the pitch, but progressing off it.

Kasper should a) be captain and b) the magaer.

Without doubt..........a big decision for Pearson but that's what he's paid for. It will also take a big weight off of Mills' shoulders. Trouble is there's no guarantee he'll be here in Feb :unsure:

Kasper is the best keeper we've had for a long time now but with the team we have I won't be angry if you wanted to leave, I hope u stay and helps us through the bad times and at the end of this season give the captain band to him maybe ???

He's certainly more deserving of the captain's armband than Mills/King/Wellens who have all been captain this season (not sure about Wellens so could be wrong).

But, giving it to him mid-way through the season would be detrimental. It'll just upset Mills, for one. A lot of you probably won't care if it upsets Mills but remember that it will affect the whole of the team, too.

We just have to stick together, really. That's also hard to fathom for a lot of Leicester fans, but it's a necessity if we want to improve our situation.

M) Be given the inaugural Nobel Prize for Football.

N) Go to CERN and have a look for Higg's Boson. He'll find it immediately.

O) Be employed as a UN special envoy to go and sort out once-and-for-all the world's mentalists such as North Korea, The Taliban etc etc.

Don't normally like keepers as captains but Schmeichel seems like the only one who gives a **** and seems like a leader. Mills is just a complete dickhead.

Has he got delusions of grandeur? :P

Without the points Kasper has saved us it's a genuine worry where we might be.

He deserves a lot better than the dross the outfield have been serving up.

I would have made him captain after Mills' second red of the season and told Mills he will have to earn it back along with his place in the team, if NP had done that we may still have SSL willing to play for us.

I think it was when Mills got sent off against Hull and Kasper came over and took the armband off him as he trudged off, I can't remember if he put it on himself or passed it to someone else.
