Holloway feels Leicester need more fighting spirit (Getty)

Leicester City boss Ian Holloway feels Saturday's late draw with Colchester shows why his side should never give up their battle against relegation.

Iain Hume's late leveller took City out of the Championship relegation zone.

Holloway told BBC Radio Leicester: "People talk about a crisis and that this club has never been there before - it is all rubbish.

"We've got nine points to play for. It might look tough but it looked tough on Saturday and we pulled something out."
