Kasper Schmeichel says Leicester are moving forward after clear-the-air talks

Leicester's players have discussed their season's problems and are now confident of turning their season around, says Kasper Schmeichel.
The Premier League champions have had a lacklustre start to their defence, having lost half of their eight games and picking up just eight points.
It's not been all bad though, with the team conceding fewer goals this campaign, 14, than this time last season, 15, when manager Claudio Ranieri offered to buy the team pizza once they kept a clean sheet.
But the players still held a meeting following their 3-0 defeat at Chelsea at the weekend to discuss what was going wrong.
Goalkeeper Schmeichel said: "We've had a chat, things have been said and resolved and we move on.
"It's a long season and we've had some bad performances away from home, starting badly and haven't been able to recover. We're confident we can turn this around.
"You look at how we have started over the last few seasons, we haven't been the quickest of starters. It's not a time to worry or panic, we come good in the middle of the season and we become really good towards the end.
"We're looking to keep going and the expectation is something that you lot [the media] like to write about."
Meanwhile, Nampalys Mendy has had a minor operation as he recovers from an ankle injury which has sidelined him since August.
Ranieri said: "He was unlucky, he has had surgery just to clean a little fragment of the bone.
"He will be out for four weeks, five weeks, I don't know. He's an unlucky man."
