After the defeat to Harrogate, Deeney’s last game in charge after their trip to Mansfield was postponed in midweek, the 35-year-old hit out at his players. He said he would “rather watch Antiques Roadshow” than his side. Deeney lost three and drew three of his six league matches in charge.
Deeney accused Forest Green’s players of being “inmates running the jail” and said there were “too many babies top to bottom”. He hit out at Reece Brown for being late and Fankaty Dabo not being good enough “for five, six, seven, eight nine weeks”. Deeney added: “I have just told him in front of everyone – six months ago that kid had a kick to go to the Premier League. Now he won’t get a game in the National League.”
After defeat to Harrogate, Deeney told BBC Radio Gloucestershire: “We haven’t even hit rock-bottom yet, that’s the worry.”
Of Dabo, Deeney said: “He is faster than everybody on pure ability but he gets ran [past] every game, he never makes a tackle and every time the ball comes to him it looks like he kicks it with his shin pads. That is the reality of it.”
