“Luke Thomas SLAMS Leicester City Drama with Jaw-Dropping Insider Secrets You NEED to Hear!”

Leicester City defender Luke Thomas believes the key to promotion lies in unity between the squad and the fanbase, though he accepts strong opinions from the terraces will continue in the short term.

One of the recurring themes of the campaign so far has been the strained relationship between supporters and players.

In the opening match, Wout Faes made headlines by cupping his ear to the Kop, while the home defeat to Preston was overshadowed by boos and negative chants.

Thomas, who grew up as a Leicester fan before progressing through the club’s academy, has experienced both perspectives.

He admits it is understandable that frustration lingers after last season’s relegation but stresses the responsibility now falls on the squad to repair the bond.

“Fans are entitled to their opinions on games, and you can see they’re showing that, which is completely expected,” Thomas said.

“As a club – players and supporters together – it’s vital we rebuild that sense of togetherness this season after what happened last year.

“That unity gives us the best chance to achieve results and hopefully stay near the top of the table by the end of the season.

Supporters want to see performances on the pitch, and that’s what we as players are determined to deliver.

The more we can show that, the more backing we’ll get, and that support can really help us win matches. I’m confident people will see it come through this year.”

City now turn their attention to a tricky away trip against newly-promoted Charlton Athletic. The Addicks have impressed on their return to the Championship, protecting an unbeaten record so far.

For Marti Cifuentes and his Leicester side, the match offers a chance to earn their first away league victory of the campaign.

Their previous outings on the road have been disappointing, with elimination in the Carabao Cup on penalties at Huddersfield followed by defeat at Deepdale.

With pressure building early, Leicester know a result this weekend could play a big part in lifting both the squad and the supporters as they aim to spark a promotion charge.
