Ian Holloway says he told his players a few 'home truths' following Saturday's 2-0 defeat at the hands of Hull City at the KC Stadium.

The Foxes boss kept his side in the dressing room for almost an hour following the game after goals from Caleb Folan and Frazier Campbell had condemned the Leicester to their fourth defeat in five matches.

And speaking at his post-match press conference, Holloway confirmed that he hadn't held back from telling his players exactly how he felt about their performance.

He said: "I'm disappointed to say the least - speechless really.

"I told every one of them what I thought of them after the game and I think I am the only person who does. I told them the truth.

"I don't know what reaction that will have. We will have to wait and see. I have just told them that if that was my team of players that I had brought to the club out there then I am sure I would get the sack in the morning.

"The problem here was caused in the summer when new players came in. I think there is a massive disunity and I see that more than ever when we go behind.

"A few of these boys have let themselves down and I want them to start from Monday being like the teams I have had in the past. They have always told each other exactly how they feel, what they feel about each other and what they expect from each other, because when we are under pressure I don't like the look of us at all.

"They were unrecognisable today to the team that beat Bristol City - but we scored against Bristol City and goals give you belief. I don't think they can wait for January. They know that was not acceptable. The good news is I will be able to do something about it.

"The players forgot all that we had practiced once they had gone behind. That's unacceptable.

"I feel for the Leicester City fans, I really do.

"I knew there was a big job to do when I came here but it is obviously a bigger job than I thought it was."

And Holloway also confirmed that he had already started to make moves on the transfer front.

He added: "Milan (Mandaric) is fully behind what I am trying to do. He knows where mistakes were made and he knows what we want. We had a very productive meeting yesterday (Friday) and there will be a few things happening.

"I have got three trialists coming to the club on Monday and I have also put in bids for two players."
