Darren Eadie has been speaking on his official website about his fears that Leicester's recent run of bad results may leave them short of a European spot.

He blames a lack of confidence within the City side aswell as injury problems for the state of the team at the moment and also admits that Lee Marshall should not have played on Sunday because of City's lack of form.

Eadie says "People have obviously been making a lot of the fact that we haven't won an away game since beating Middlesbrough back in November, but we didn't actually realise the run was that bad until we read about it in the papers.

"We haven't been preparing for away games any differently to earlier in the season when we were winning them, but I suppose losing a few key individual players hasn't done us any good and that, along with the lack of confidence, could well cost us the place in Europe we're aiming for.

"The current situation has made it difficult for the lads who have come into the side recently, and it must have been very difficult for Lee Marshall who made his debut on Sunday.

"He was probably nervous anyway, and the fact that the players around him weren't on form can't have helped as there was no one to help him out when things didn't go according to plan."

Eadie also has problems of his own at the moment with him limping off on Sunday's with a knee injury that means he will definitely miss tomorrow's game against Villa.
