‘Leicester to release James Justin and Danny Ward’ – ‘Shocking’ reaction
James Justin and Danny Ward have been hammered by Leicester City fans after his performance in their 3-0 defeat to Wolves at the King Power Stadium.
Following their 4-0 thrashing at Newcastle United last week Ruud van Nisterlrooy’s side will have been looking to get back on track at home against a fellow relegation rival on Sunday (22 December).
Things though did not go to plan, with three first-half goals securing a comfortable win for the visitors in their first game since the appointment of Vitor Pereira as manager.
As a result, Leicester are now just two points clear of the relegation zone, and one player who endured a particularly tough afternoon in that match was defender Justin.
Leicester fans fume at James Justin after Wolves defeat
After the visitors had gone ahead through Goncalo Guedes, it was the Foxes’ right-back who all but gifted them their all-important second goal.
As a ball from deep was fired towards the Leicester area, Justin simply allowed the ball to fly past him without making any attempt at a clearance.
That meant it fell kindly for Rodrigo Gomes to fire home to make it 2-0 from inside the box, setting the Old Gold on their way to a much-needed win.
With Van Nistelrooy’s side failing to impress defensively for the other two goals as well, many Leicester fans were keen to move on from one-time England international Justin, as well as keeper Danny Ward.
One said the pair “need releasing from their contracts” for being “disgraces of the highest order”, while another branded Justin “pathetic”. One fan went has far as to say both should be “banned” from the King Power, while Justin’s defending was branded “shocking”.
