UNFORGIVABLE! Rowett DESTROYS Leicester Flops After QPR HUMILIATION – ‘Same Old FAULTS’ Force MASSIVE Selection Overhaul!

Gary Rowett watched from the touchline as Bristol City lost 3-1 at home to QPR on Saturday, his side failing to build on their midweek victory over Bristol City.

Rowett had made only one change from the team that won in midweek, bringing in Divine Mukasa in place of Bobby De Cordova-Reid, but City looked short of energy, composure and creative intent beyond the opening quarter of an hour. Three goals conceded in a 20-minute spell either side of half-time proved fatal.

The failure to back up a positive midweek performance prompted a frank assessment from Rowett, who outlined a series of criticisms and suggested the solution may lie in picking players who maintain their standards consistently from one match to the next rather than producing performances that fluctuate.

The stakes are clear. Combined with shock wins for West Brom and Blackburn against promotion-chasing Hull and Millwall respectively, Saturday’s defeat has dropped City back into the relegation zone, now two points from safety.

Rowett was asked whether those rival wins might unsettle his squad and was pointed in his response, congratulating the teams concerned and acknowledging they had done what was required. He cited examples of sides going a goal up and defending it for their lives to win 1-0, saying that kind of discipline and resolve is precisely what his team needs to demonstrate more often.

He was direct about the current situation and unwilling to look for excuses, saying the result was deserved and that something needs to change quickly. Speaking separately to BBC Radio Leicester, he said he has no magic solution but needs to identify the players he can trust to perform consistently week after week, rather than those who show up occasionally and then disappear.

City travel to Watford next weekend, with the Hornets’ own play-off ambitions having taken a blow following a 3-1 defeat to Stoke on Saturday.
