Leicester City captain Harry Souttar says players must take responsibility for the club's record 4-0 League One home defeat by Oxford United. The loss ranks as the club's worst league result in history and has raised doubts about head coach Russell Martin's future. Former forward Matt Piper described it as a "sackable performance." While Martin's rigid possession-based approach has been criticised, Souttar insisted the squad failed to compete, stating "if you don't win duels, you don't win tackles, you don't win headers, then you're not going to give yourself a chance." Australia international Souttar has remained with Leicester despite interest from Championship clubs Sheffield United and Wrexham.

The defense featured youth, including 20-year-olds Jayden Joseph and Manchester City loanee Christian Mc Farlane, alongside veteran Alex Mc Carthy and Luke Thomas. High-profile summer departures included Harry Winks, Jannik Vestergaard, and Jordan Ayew. Souttar said the team was "frustrated" after earning their first league win against Plymouth Argyle midweek.

Leicester face Stockport County next Saturday, who come off a 4-0 win against Wigan Athletic.
