Inside the world of Warburton and Weir at Rangers

[stewarty 2,060]

Interesting that one of the key features (so far) about Warburton's time as manager has been around how he has empowered the squad to take ownership for their own behaviour, standards and performance.

 

Now that he's no longer at Brentford, that ethos has obviously slipped away as you have a player blaming someone else rather than admitting they messed up or could have done better.

 

I know which mentality I would prefer our players to have..

I think Ally said at one time that his players had the responsibility for their own fitness. It was something along the lines of you don't need to tell seasoned professionals how to conduct themselves

'We never practised set-pieces': Brentford star slates Rangers boss Mark Warburton for failings at old club

 

BEES defender Harlee Dean believes Rangers boss Mark Warburton's set-piece failings at Brentford last year may have cost the team Premier League promotion.

 

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 leadership

in their “awful” and “embarrassing” 4-0 defeat.

@OfficialHDean: Comments in media were taken out of context as usual. For the record Warbs was a top man and manager, it was a pleasure to work with him.

His words were allegedly taken out of context 5 days ago, http://www.getwestlondon.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/dean-excited-dijkhuizens-methods-after-9815241

 

The Rotten Record, just changed the headline to write the same story.

 

Why has Dean waited until now to 'put the record straight'?
