Leicester City’s 1–1 draw with Wrexham at the King Power on Tuesday night was supposed to be a routine Championship fixture. Instead, it’s turned into a full-blown storm on social media, with furious Foxes fans calling for one player to be banished from the team after what they saw as an unforgivable mistake.
The Match That Sparked Outrage
Leicester went ahead in the first half through Jordan James, who looked lively and gave Marti Cifuentes’ men the perfect start. For long spells, it felt like the Foxes were in control and heading for a much-needed three points after a string of recent draws.
But in the 77th minute, disaster struck. Nathan Broadhead levelled for Wrexham, and suddenly Leicester’s defensive frailties were on full display again. The draw meant another two points dropped — their fourth consecutive draw in September — and the fans’ patience finally snapped.
The Player in the Crosshairs
While the headlines show “Leicester 1–1 Wrexham,” the bigger story is what’s happening online. Supporters aren’t just disappointed — they’re furious. One player’s performance is being torn apart, with thousands of comments piling up accusing him of costing the team the win.
“Never play for us again,” wrote one angry fan on X.
“Sell him tomorrow. I’m done,” added another.
Others went even further, claiming his attitude and lack of focus were embarrassing for a club fighting to get back to the Premier League.
Why the Fans Are So Angry
From the reaction, it’s clear many believe this wasn’t just an ordinary mistake. Some say it was a lack of effort, others point to a costly lapse in concentration in the build-up to Broadhead’s equaliser. In short: they feel let down.
Leicester are supposed to be promotion contenders, but drawing with newly-promoted Wrexham at home feels like a step backward — and fans aren’t in the mood to forgive errors that cost crucial points.
The Bigger Picture
Leicester’s form is now a serious worry. Four draws on the bounce has left them slipping off the pace in the Championship race. Cifuentes’ tactical tweaks are under scrutiny, and the fanbase is restless.
But the real headline is the mob justice happening online. One player has become the scapegoat, and whether fair or not, his future at the club looks shaky if the noise continues to grow.
Final Word
This is football in 2025: one slip, one error, and you’re trending for all the wrong reasons. The question now is whether Cifuentes stands by his man or listens to the roar of supporters demanding change.
Because right now, judging by the mood on social media, many Leicester fans don’t just want him dropped for the next game — they want him gone for good.
Leicester City’s frustrating 1–1 draw with Wrexham at the King Power on Tuesday night has left Foxes supporters in uproar. But this time, the fury isn’t just about dropped points — it’s aimed squarely at one man. Midfielder Oliver Skipp, who posted a dismal 2.6/5 rating (the lowest on the pitch), is being ripped apart online, with fans calling for him to never wear the shirt again.

A Night That Started Well, Ended in Chaos
Leicester looked in control when Jordan James opened the scoring in the first half. The Foxes had chances to push for a second and kill the game off, but instead they drifted, inviting pressure.
In the 77th minute, Wrexham punished them. Nathan Broadhead found the equaliser, and with it came another deflating result — Leicester’s fourth consecutive draw in September. For a club desperate to bounce back to the Premier League, that’s simply not good enough.

Skipp in the Firing Line
While several Leicester players came under criticism — with Luke Thomas (3.2), Jannik Vestergaard (3.5), and Patson Daka (3.7) also rated poorly — it was Oliver Skipp who took the brunt of the supporters’ anger.
Fans on social media accused him of being anonymous, offering nothing going forward, and failing to control the midfield battle. One supporter wrote: “Skipp doesn’t exist in this team — he’s invisible.” Another added: “Sell him tomorrow. He’s not Leicester quality.”
The stats back up the perception. Skipp struggled to link play, was slow in transition, and lost several duels in midfield. For many fans, his performance symbolised the wider malaise: a team lacking urgency, authority, and killer instinct.

Fans “Destroying Him Online”
The backlash has been brutal. Twitter, Reddit, and fan forums lit up after the final whistle, with clips and sarcastic memes targeting Skipp’s lack of impact.
Some even went as far as to say:
“He should never play for Leicester again.”
“That was a Championship relegation-level performance, not promotion quality.”
“If Cifuentes keeps picking him, we’re going nowhere.”
It’s not the first time supporters have turned on a single player after a poor result, but the volume and intensity suggest Skipp may find it hard to win them back.

The Bigger Picture
Leicester’s issue runs deeper than one man. Four straight draws have left them slipping behind in the promotion chase, and Marti Cifuentes is under increasing pressure to shake things up. Defensively they still look fragile, and up front they lack ruthlessness.
But when a team is faltering, fans often look for a scapegoat — and on this night, Oliver Skipp’s 2.6 rating made him the obvious target.
Final Word
This wasn’t just a frustrating draw; it was a flashpoint. The mood around the King Power is souring fast, and Skipp is now at the centre of a storm that could define his Leicester career.
Whether Cifuentes stands by him or drops him from the XI, one thing is certain: right now, the fans don’t just want Skipp benched — they want him gone for good.
