bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Rangers manager Mark Warburton has come under fire from one of his former players at Brentford.Warburton has got off to a flying start at Ibrox, but Bees defender Harlee Dean has taken a dig at his gung-ho tactics and reckons his failure to work on set-pieces last season may have even cost the London club Premier League promotion.Dean, who has played over 150 times for Brentford, said: “If you look at individual centre-halves in the league I don’t think there are many better than what we have here. But last year we didn’t look like that. We got left two v one and two v two.“We know we’ve got people around us now and I hope we keep a lot more clean sheets and make ourselves look a lot better. We’re focusing on set-pieces. If we can add to the 10 goals from centre-half combined then we’ve done well.“We’ve just repeated set-pieces and free-kicks and knowing where you’ve got to be. Last year we didn’t have one session on set-pieces and it showed on the pitch. That was Warbs’ way. Perhaps that’s where we fell short."Despite Dean’s claims and just months after Warburton guided the Bees to the Championship play-offs his former club were being knocked out of the Capital One Cup last night by League Two Oxford at Griffin Park.Marinus Dijkhuizen, who succeeded Warburton said he was surprised by his players’ lack of leadershipin their “awful” and “embarrassing” 4-0 defeat.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted August 12, 2015 Author Share Posted August 12, 2015 Oh, get her!First time I've read anything negative about our gaffer, doesn't sound like him at all.Sounds a bit bitter to me as Brentford punched way above their weight and you can clearly see we practice set-pieces too.

jintybear 8,536 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 If that's the case then, to me, it looks like warburton has learned from past mistakes. I can't believe this player is saying this when warburton took them from league 2 to almost the premier league in his time as manager. Then to come out with this after being beat 4-0? Hmmmmm sounds a bit strange to me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gillete 1,338 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 The style of football we play will lead to defenders being 1 v 1 & 2 v 2 at the back.I'd have complete trust in my defenders to deal with that situation if it means we have an overload in the attacking areas of the pitchAs he's a defender , he's pissed off being exposed.If he was any decent defender , he would relish a situation like that Poor from him.

Bahrain Bear 52 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Daily Record must have been itching to get a negative story out about Warburton. Far to much positivity surrounding the gaffer. It was only a matter of time. Won't be the last they'll drag up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElBufalo20 7,915 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 We must be having a good season so far then if the papers are dragging up some nobody ex player to put a negative spin on Warburton and us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
eejay the dj 31,964 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I'm as happy as the next bear but criticism of our Manager from a former player must be taken on board .As yet he is not the second coming .Love things at this moment but it's very very early days .We should never fall into the same traps as we did before .Scrutiny of our Manager is paramount for this club to progressMaybe after the first quarter of season we can be in better position to judge this guys comments Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAVIE8CH 296 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 and the paper that this was taken from supports us to the hilt. just another dig at rangers and our manager. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsasasfloppyhair 13,310 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 This point has already been raised on here and is why there is a need for a Eustace type player to sit and protect centre backs. Sounds more like he is annoyed at not getting promoted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JukeBoxJohn 3,060 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Poofy name Probably a bitter rhat.Would be quite amusing if Brentford got relegated as it would further prove the wonders that W&W worked for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EastEnclosureBear 2,926 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Aye hoping to concede less goals, 6 in 2 games is a decent start, prick Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Courtyard Bear 41,357 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 So a CB is moaning because they got left 2 on 2 at the back, guy sounds like a few of our players last season. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
maverick1200 2,832 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 "We got left two v one and two v two."Maybe he is just a shit defender. If you can't defend 2 v 1, you have a problem. Even 2 v 2, I'd be annoyed if the defenders got beaten.EDIT: Plus the best form of defence is ATTACK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumbGER 24,518 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Seems a bit of a tadger,fuck him....We look miles better from set-peices than last year,Stevie Smith aside,our free kicks were woeful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chineseboy 1,563 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Our manager is fully aware of this, and that is the reason for bringing in Eustace. Anyway, I couldn't care less because we are going to score more goals than we lose in a game, and i love watching this new attacking football.
