    Gary Rowett: 'We seem to have a habit of giving away elementary goals'

    Leicester City boss Gary Rowett spoke BBC Radio Leicester following Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Swansea.

    "I'm really frustrated. If you look at the first half, OK we were not at our best but I still felt as though we just shaded the first half and we had slightly more chances," he said.

    "Sometimes it feels like we've got to score the perfect goal, or a worldie of a goal from 30 yards away, and that's not how the game works. Occasionally you have got got to score different types of goals.

    "The 10 games I've had here has felt like 40 because the way we have given goals away and have given teams a lift in a time when they haven't really had to go and earn it.

    "It's a ridiculous decision to try and play a short free-kick when the box is open and we have everyone loaded up in the box. They then run the length of the field and end up scoring, which shouldn't happen.

    "We keep making poor mistakes. And from that point on you want to see, and I certainly wanted to see, a better reaction. I wanted to see a more desperate team fighting for their lives trying to get back into the game.

    "But we just fizzled out, really. It was our reaction to that goal that was the poorest thing and most disappointing thing.

    "Ultimately, we've got ourselves into this mess and we have to get ourselves out of this mess. And it's a big week coming up."
