Troy Deeney apologises for savaging his Forest Green players to the press and admits 'I let my emotions get the better of me'... but stands by his comments following their loss to Harrogate

Forest Green Rovers manager Troy Deeney has apologised for slamming his players after their defeat to Harrogate Town and admits he let his emotions 'get the better of him'.

Deeney - who took over as manager of the side towards the end of December - grilled his squad following their 2-0 loss, saying there are too many 'babies' in the team at the moment.

Deeney went on to call his squad a bunch of 'sulkers' that are doing 'their own thing' before stating he would bring in new players to rectify the problem at the League Two club.
