  2. 'My finger is pointing at the manager'published at 17:46 BST

    FT: Leicester 0-4 Oxford

    Matt Piper
    Former Foxes winger on BBC Radio Leicester

    You can't keep doing the same thing that's not working and then telling the players to keep doing it.

    Christian McFarlane, in the first half, I know he's only 19 so I'm not going after him, but he was on toast by Mo Missanga. I would have brought him off after 25 minutes. And then you have to weigh up as a manager, is that going to destroy is confidence?

    But you can talk to him on the sideline once you've brought him off because it's about winning football matches, it's not about keeping young lads happy. You can work on that confidence factor throughout the season and build that back up inside him.

    What should have happened today, and this is what I want to see from the leader of the football club, our manager... he looks at a game like today and he can still hold his philosophy of wanting to dominate the ball, that's fine, but you can change up how you're going to play and how you're going to hurt the opposition in certain periods of the game.

    This manager doesn't seem to want to move away at all from the 'pass them to death and that's how we'll win a football match'. Even though I'm an advocate of that style when your team are playing well and can execute it the way that you want it. But I'm also an advocate of winning football matches and you can do that in many different ways and we've only seen one way from this manager and I think my finger is pointing at him this afternoon even though his team didn't play well.

  3. Rovers stay top; Fleetwood into play-offspublished at 17:42 BST

    Nobody seems to be able to stop Steve Evans' Bristol Rovers at the moment, as their 10th conecutive win at home sees them cement their place at the top of League Two.

    Fleetwood also remain unbeaten this season, with their 2-0 win against Shrewsbury enough for them to leap frog six sides into the play-off spots.

    Salop, on the other hand, slip into the drop zone after their defeat coincided with Accrington winning their first match of this campaign.

    Port Vale fought hard at Salford during the lunchtime kick-off but a 1-0 defeat sees them remain firmly rooted to the bottom.

    • Fleetwood 2-0 Shrewsbury
    • Salford 1-0 Port Vale
    • Accrington 3-2 Crawley

    When I thought it couldn't get worse, the team gets humiliated at home. Remarkably, there were still Leicester fans clapping the team off at the end. And where is Russell Martin? Ran down the tunnel, and left a mostly young squad to face the irate/apathetic fans who stayed. Disgraceful manager.

  6. 'It wasn't working'published at 17:33 BST

    FT: Leicester 0-4 Oxford

    Matt Piper
    Former Foxes winger on BBC Radio Leicester

    The team played really poorly this afternoon as a collective and a lot of the individuals did, but that game wasn't working, up until the first goal and after the first goal, in that style of football Russell Martin was trying to play. I'm an advocate of it, but I'm an advocate of winning football matches.

    So, when your style isn't working and you've been worked out by the opposition manager - he's put a block in the centre of the pitch, he's keeping it tight and the structure moves a little deeper - you have to more or less play perfect football to try and get through that structure that Aaron Ramsey put in today and we weren't able to do it, the players weren't operating at that level.

    1 lucky win midweek got Leicester fans' hopes up, back to reality and getting bullied by a team with a transfer embargo. Oxford were brilliant today, we were pathetic!

    Is there a manager in UK professional football with a worse recent record than Russell Martin ..?? Leicester need a change ASAP or League Two beckons.. He was lucky to survive the last relegation

    FT: Leicester 0-4 Oxford

    Matt Piper
    Former Foxes winger on BBC Radio Leicester

    It's a damaging, damaging performance for the manager and a result. I don't know if I've got to put it on him.

    There's a lot of youngsters in the team and what I don't want to happen is everyone pointing fingers at the fact because there are too many youngsters in the team.

    Because you can get aggressive youngsters that go out who press and work hard and you can get youngsters that are a little more laid-back and lacklustre. I don't think it comes down to a character of a youngster.

  9. Wednesday go top; Foxes slip to 17thpublished at 17:22 BST

    Sheffield Wednesday's win at lunchtime takes them to the top of League One after Huddersfield could only draw at home with Notts County.

    Stockport County are up to third after their thrashing of Wigan Athletic while Bradford are fourth following their win against Mansfield.

    Meanwhile, it is a bleak looking read for Leicester fans. The Foxes' 4-0 humbling by Oxford has seen them slip down to 17th following a dismal display at home.

    And Wigan are now rooted to the foot of the table with Wycombe climbing above them in 23rd after their late leveler in the entertaining 3-3 draw with MK Dons.

    I really don’t think the players Leicester have are that bad, the tactics however, and the managerial competence are awful. What on earth do they do next?

    Russell Martin has to go, the players aren't buying into his style and the fans don't want it.

    You may not believe this, but despite the fact that most of us saw this coming the moment he was appointed, there are still a not insignificant number of Leicester fans still begging us to give Martin a chance!

    FT: Leicester 0-4 Oxford

    Jack Rafferty
    BBC Radio Leicester commentator

    Just the sight of the empty seats around King Power Stadium as the players walk off...

    It's a slightly surreal feeling in that after a 4-0 home defeat against Oxford, in the last couple of seasons you'd have expected fans to actually want to boo, but they don't even want to do that at this stage, they are more than happy to leave.

    This isn't just a few fans in anger leaving at 3-0 or 4-0, this is maybe 80% of the fanbase, maybe I'm being kind there, choosing to leave before the end of the game because of what they've seen on the pitch today.

    Bristol Rovers 1-0 Rotherham

    And Steve Evans' Gas go marching on at the top of League Two!

    A dramatic ending to this tie saw Rotherham manager Alex Bruce and Bristol Rovers assistant head coach Paul Raynor sent off, and a last minute effort crash off the crossbar for Rotherham.

    It might seem like an age ago but it was Tommy Leigh's goal in the first half an hour separating the two sides, after he finished a rebound from Bobby Kamwa.

    Ted Cann performed miracles in the second half for Rotherham to keep them in the match when he tipped a shot from Kofi Balmer onto the crossbar.

    Job done for Rovers. Next up, Grimsby.

  16. 'Foxes embarrassed'published at 16:57 BST

    FT: Leicester 0-4 Oxford

    Owynn Palmer-Atkin

    It's full-time at the King Power Stadium. Leicester City 0-4 Oxford United in League One.

    The Foxes embarrassed on home soil and put to the sword by a really well put together Oxford United side.

    This is a huge blow for Leicester City who are beaten at home for the second time in three league games this season, but this one is cause of such concern.

    The way that they weren't able to physically find a way through, to change the way that they were playing and the way at which they were picked apart by an Oxford side that did everything that they had in their gameplan to a tee.

    So many questions about how the Foxes fix this ahead of a big trip to Stockport next weekend.

    Leicester 0-4 Oxford

    It's all over at the King Power Stadium and the Leicester fans are finally put out of their misery.

    What an extraordinary scoreline this is.

    You might have thought Leicester had turned a corner after they picked up their first win of the season in midweek. Wrong-o!

    They have been thrashed by Oxford United who put in a superb away display.

    Mark Harris gave them an early lead and after the break they filled their boots.

    Mo Missanga doubled the U's lead before Harris got his second three minutes later to put the game beyond doubt.

    Jamie McDonnell swept home a fourth to put the cherry on the cake for Oxford as Leicester fans left the ground in their droves before the full-time whistle.

    Crewe 1-1 York

    It's all over! What a breathless ending that was.

    Crewe took a deserved lead early doors when Luke Offord scored a header after just eight minutes.

    York rallied, however, and just as Lee Bell thought his side would be going into the half-time break ahead, Alex Newby popped up from close range to score his 4th goals of the season.

    The second half was excellent, with both sides getting loads of chances to clinch the points, and it seemed as if Crewe hearts were about to be broken at the last had it not been for the heroics of keeper Tom Booth clawing Zech Medley's shot off the line.

  20. CLEARED OFF THE LINE!published at 16:54 BST

    Crewe 1-1 York

    It looked like York had scored the winner for a second!

    Zech Medley gets a free header from the centre of the box, and sends it towards the bottom corner. But Tom Booth claws it off the line at the last moment.
