Leicester City’s promotion belief among supporters looks split after Saturday’s 4-0 defeat by Oxford United left them 17th in League One, according to LeicesterMercury.co.uk. The Foxes are still among the favourites to go up despite a slow start.

Another 15 per cent believed more should have been done to reshape Martin’s squad, and five per cent felt more players ought to have left.

On recruitment, 52 per cent rated the window at either eight or nine out of 10. A total of 23 per cent opted for six or seven out of 10, 10 per cent gave 10 out of 10, and seven per cent marked it three out of 10 or lower.
