Leicester City goalkeeper Danny Ward admits it's been a poor start to the season.

City have picked up just one point from their opening six Premier League games, with pressure piling on manager Brendan Rodgers to turn fortunes around drastically.

Ward told The Times: “If we knew (why the team had a bad start) then we wouldn't be in this position.

"There's many factors that it could be but you can never pinpoint one.

“We can't blame the transfer window for the performances that we have put out on the pitch. Sometimes it doesn't help in terms of personnel but as players our job isn't to sort transfers out, our job is on the pitch regardless we've got a group of players who can achieve something and we all know each other's qualities.

“It's always about the collective, it will only be the collective that gets us out of this and we've got to stick together. We're disappointed with the start we've made and that we've not hit the levels that we know we can but we're all calm, we know what we can do and what we can still achieve this season."
