Nigel's not making plans for Waghorn
eicester manager Nigel Pearson admits the Foxes are unlikely to be able to sign Sunderland striker Martyn Waghorn on a permanent basis.[LNB] Waghorn, on a season-long loan from the Black Cats, scored twice to bring his tally for the campaign to 11 as City hammered QPR 4-0 to notch their first win in six games on Easter Monday.[LNB]Pearson said: "Waghorn's been a great loan signing. He's doing very well for us. It has been a good experience for him here and I know he's enjoying himself.[LNB]"But if I were Sunderland why would I want to sell him? And there is a question mark against if we could afford him anyway."[LNB]Waghorn said: "I've been asked by Leicester fans all season if I'll be staying. I love it at Leicester but we will have to wait and see what happens in the summer.[LNB]"I haven't spoken to (Sunderland manager) Steve Bruce about the situation, we will just have to wait and see what happens."[LNB]Waghorn added to Andy King's opener in the 45th minute when he pounced on a weak clearance by visiting goalkeeper Carl Ikeme and guided the ball into an unguarded net from 35 yards.[LNB]He made it 3-0 five minutes after the break when Richie Wellens won possession in midfield and knocked the ball forward to Waghorn who stepped inside before curling a superb left-foot shot into the top corner from 20 yards.[LNB]Michael Morrison dinked in a cross for Steve Howard to flick home a header from six yards to complete the rout.[LNB]Waghorn added: "A hat-trick would have been nice. I had a couple of other chances but the result is the main thing.[LNB]"Hopefully our blip is now over and everything will be fine and we'll be okay for the play-offs."[LNB]The Foxes are one point clear of seventh-placed Blackpool.[LNB]QPR manager Neil Warnock was disappointed to lose the game after his side dominated possession in the first half.[LNB]He said: "Believe it or not I'm disappointed we didn't win the game, which might sound a bit silly and as if I was a character out of 'One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest'.[LNB]"But their first two goals were absolutely diabolical and showed the hard work we are going to have to put in.[LNB]"And then after their third goal went in we were just waiting for the final whistle to go."[LNB]Warnock added: "I hope Leicester go up. I like Nigel Pearson and this is a great stadium. But if they don't make it, it would be nice to come back here with a different team next season and give them a right good game.[LNB]"We don't have enough physical presence at the moment. I think if we had Steve Howard and Martyn Waghorn, we might have won the game."
