Leicester City boss Dean Smith admits he stopped his players from speaking at a debrief this week.
Smith was furious after the manner of defeat at Fulham.
My job is to rationalise it," he said. We came in the following day so we could put that game to bed and talk through what happened. The players understood what my thoughts were and the other coaches' thoughts were and we've moved on.
I felt it was productive. It was due to be a day off. But I don't like things lingering. I wanted to get it out of our system. We did, and sorted it. I thought it went well. The proof will be seen on Monday.
I've always been brought up in this game that you can't change what's happened, what you can do is learn from it and correct it and move on quickly. There's no point us worrying about the Fulham game for two or three more days, I wanted to get it put to bed.
I knew very quickly when I watched the game back what the errors were for the goals and the chances that we conceded so it was a case of making sure we got that out there very quickly and spoke to the players so then we could move on from there.
Normally (players have their say) but I didn't (let them), no. I did the talking and told them what I expected in certain situations of the Fulham game, what we needed to do better and what we will do better going forward."
