Second-placed Leicester City were booed off after losing away to Plymouth Argyle as they look to beat Leeds United and Ipswich Town to automatic promotion
Gary Lineker reckons Leeds United and Ipswich Town have let his beloved Leicester City off the hook in the race for automatic promotion. Neither the Whites nor the Tractor Boys won on Saturday following the Foxes' narrow loss at Plymouth Argyle.
As things stand, Ipswich sit top of the pile but Leicester will return to the summit if they win their game in hand against Southampton. United are two points shy of the leaders after recording just one victory in five matches since the international break.Speaking on the latest episode of the Rest is Football podcast, Lineker said: "Nobody wants to go up. Nobody wants to win a game. Nobody wants to score a bloody goal.
The Foxes were booed after losing at Home Park. "If you have gone to Millwall and then gone all the way down to Plymouth, which is a long way, and your team hasn’t scored a goal or performed at all, then I am sure there will be a few rumbles," said Leicester-born Lineker. "They have got three of their last four games at home, but come on lads. Get a grip. Get a grip! Make it happen. Don’t just hope it happens. Get out there, make it happen. Stop trembling, stop being nervous. Get out there, score some goals, have some fun, play some football, entertain the crowd, win the bloody title and get back in the Premier League. There you go, there is my team talk.
