Holloway knows results have not been good enough (Getty Images)

The Foxes are in the Championship drop zone with just eight games to go and face high-flying West Brom on Saturday.

But Holloway told BBC Radio Leicester he would much rather take the flak than the players: "Let's gang up on Ollie and have a bit of a go is it?

"Well that's fair enough because I'm paid to sort this out and get results and I haven't been getting them."

Holloway added: "I think we've had some performances and what we need to do is encourage these lads and get them going again.

"I believe other people have had a run and it's going to be our time.

"We need to continue to be brave and keep believing."
