Leicester City Fans Furious with James Justin After Humiliating 0-3 Home Loss to Wolves
Leicester City fans have voiced their fury on social media following the club’s embarrassing 0-3 defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers at the King Power Stadium, with many singling out defender James Justin for intense criticism.
The Foxes, who have been struggling to find form in the Championship this season after their relegation from the Premier League, were completely outclassed by Wolves in a match that saw their defense fall apart on multiple occasions. The defeat has intensified the frustration among Leicester supporters, who have grown increasingly disillusioned with some of the players in the squad.
James Justin, who had been a regular fixture in Leicester’s backline for several seasons, has come under particular scrutiny. Fans took to Twitter and other social media platforms to express their disappointment with the full-back’s performance, with many calling for him to be sold or even dropped from the starting lineup.
“Justin’s performance today was unacceptable,” wrote one frustrated supporter on Twitter. “He looked completely out of his depth, and it cost us badly. We need players who are willing to fight for the shirt, and I just don’t see that from him right now.”
Another user commented, “Justin has been a shadow of the player he was before his injury. He has to be one of the first players out the door in January if we’re serious about getting back to the Premier League.”
The 0-3 loss, which included a disastrous first-half display where Wolves scored two goals within 20 minutes, highlighted Leicester’s ongoing defensive woes. Justin’s errors were particularly costly; a poor clearance and a defensive lapse contributed directly to the first and second goals, leaving goalkeeper Mads Hermansen with little chance to keep the scoreline from worsening.
The growing calls for Justin’s departure come at a time when Leicester City’s supporters are demanding accountability from both the players and the management. Despite the team’s overall struggles this season, the anger aimed at Justin is especially loud given his high-profile role in the squad and his previous form before suffering a long-term injury in the Premier League.
The Leicester defense, already under pressure due to injuries and suspensions, has looked shaky throughout the season, but the fans’ disappointment with Justin’s recent performances has been the most vocal. With the January transfer window on the horizon, many are predicting that the club could look to strengthen their defense further — potentially offloading players like Justin if they fail to regain form.
Despite the backlash, Justin has remained relatively quiet on social media since the defeat, though it remains to be seen how the criticism will impact his future at the club. Leicester City’s manager, Enzo Maresca, has also faced pressure to improve the team’s defensive stability ahead of the club’s crucial fixtures in the coming months.
As for the fans, their message is clear: they are demanding a response. A response not just from Justin, but from the entire team, if Leicester are to turn around their season and mount a serious challenge for promotion back to the Premier League.
