Foxes players 'believe' in Martin approach – Joseph

Defender Jayden Joseph claims the entire Leicester City squad supports manager Russell Martin and believes in his football philosophy. Martin's approach of playing possession-heavy football faced backlash from fans and pundits after the team lost 4-0 to Oxford United. Foxes player Matt Piper criticized Martin's rigid style. Joseph, a 20-year-old Leicester City defender, stated that he and his teammates see potential in Martin's style and that it will work with time and patience.

Oxford's loss was solely attributed to the players by Oxford captain Conor Coady, but Leicester captain Harry Souttar defended Martin, stating the defeat was solely down to the players. Leicester City has faced financial pressures, leading to the departure of several high-profile players and a need for a new group of players. The club's recent troubles have resulted in only three players from the previous season's starting lineup remaining in the Oxford match.
