The Foxes scored with all four of their shots on target at Molineux, while Wolves weren’t clinical with the 21 attempts they had, as the old gold suffered a heavy defeat. Collins gave an honest assessment post-match and spoke of the need for leaders to get the group going again.
On a miserable afternoon
“It’s not good enough. End of. It’s nowhere near where we need to be. It’s a shambles, a poor performance. It was embarrassing playing that today, I feel ashamed, for me and the players, and we need a reaction.
“We said it before the game, both boxes, you look at the stats, we’ve had so many chances. We’ve had the better chances probably, but we don’t score a goal, they have five shots and score four goals. Defensively and attacking, we were nowhere near where we needed to be.”
On the fan frustration
“I don’t blame them, they spent good money to come and watch us, and they didn’t deserve that from us, it was embarrassing from us, and they deserve better. They deserve for us to at least try hard. We didn’t give them a performance to be proud of.”
Full time.

On not taking chances
“That’s all the game is, we know how much quality Leicester have up top, and today they showed it. It’s a different game, we started the game on fire, we were really good, and if you take one of those chances, the game is different. As a squad, it’s not good enough. The fans deserved a lot more.
“Maybe it is [a confidence problem]. Listen, I’m not contributing up top, I need to put my head on something maybe, and I need to defend as well. We all need to do something, it’s not about single players, it’s about everyone joining together and doing their job.
“It’s both boxes, we’ve had so many chances, very good chances to score, and we don’t. That can come from me or any of the defenders, not just strikers and midfielders. They had four chances and scored four goals – clinical.”
On starting well
“I think the first goal’s an absolute screamer, we defend the set piece, and it comes out and he takes his chance, and it changes the flow of the game because we’d started so well.”
On what comes next
“I don’t think it can get much worse, I think we can get better. There’s so much quality in this dressing room to get better and I think we will. We’ve gone so low, we can only bounce back up. It’s my job and the other leaders in the group to get us going and get performances out of us.”
