NATHAN COLLINS HAS said that Wolves 4-0 defeat to Leicester City was 'embarrassing'
Goals from James Maddison, Harvey Barnes, Youri Tielemans, and Jamie Vardy on Sunday meant that managerless Wolves remained second bottom of the league.
The Dubliner returned to the team for the first time since his three-game ban for his red against Manchester City and lambasted the performance
The team were also subject to boos by home supporters, Collins wasn't surprised by the reaction
“I don’t blame them,” Collins told midlands publication Express and Star
“They spent good money to come and watch us, and they didn’t deserve that.
“It was embarrassing from us. Fans deserve for us to at least try hard. We didn’t give them a performance to be proud of. 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, I feel ashamed, for me and the players, and we need a reaction.”
Nathan Collins was just one of four players that appreciated the fans at full-time and even raised his hands in apology. Now he's had the bottle to say it how it is after that performance - read his brutally honest reaction here. #wwfc https://t.co/Yyr90l8gyT

The Ireland player also believes that with the quality in the Wolves dressing room, they can improve on their league position, but hard work needs to start now
“We’ve probably had the better chances but don’t score whereas they have five shots and score four goals,” he explained about the difference against fellow strugglers Leicester.
“Defensively and attacking, we were nowhere near where we needed to be. If you take one of those chances, the game is different.
“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.
“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. That can come from me or any of the defenders, not just strikers and midfielders. Leicester had four chances and scored four goals – clinical.”
Wolves next game will be against Brentford next Saturday
