Troy Deeney's next team talk could prove challenging after the Forest Green player-manager lambasted his players' efforts, questioned their ability and that of their replacements in a brutally honest post-match interview.

In an era when managers are notoriously reluctant to give anything away in post-match interviews, the former Watford striker could have hardly made his point any clearer on Saturday.

Over a four-minute clip shared by the club's official X account, which has racked up over 5.6million views, Deeney dissected his players' shortcomings with surgical precision.

'Rage, anger, disappointment. All of the above,' he replied when asked about his feelings after his side conceded an injury time equaliser in 2-2 draw away at Salford.
