JAMIE VARDY says he would “probably get done” if he shared his true thoughts on Leicester City’s season.
The Foxes are in a relegation dogfight after a major struggle this term.
That led to Brendan Rodgers losing his job earlier this month and Dean Smith coming in to replace him.

The ex-England star, who was largely left on the bench by Rodgers, came on as substitute in place of Patson Daka for the final 20 minutes at Elland Road to rescue his side.
And speaking to BT Sport after ending his barren run, 2016 Premier League and 2021 FA Cup winner Vardy said: “I mean, I probably can't say what I want to say, because I'd probably get done for saying it one TV, but it's been a weird season for myself.

James Maddison said: “He'll always score goals, no matter what age he is. He was born to score goals.

Leicester now have five matches remaining and sit a point above the drop zone.
And Maddison added that big characters like Vardy are needed to beat relegation.
He said: “It's our responsibility as big players to take that responsibility and produce for our club, our fans.”
