Brentford boss Mark Warburton refuses to blame unsettled week for defeat

Brentford manager Mark Warburton denies suggestions that his team were disrupted by doubts over his future during their Championship loss to Charlton Athletic.

Brentford manager Mark Warburton has insisted that doubts over his future at the club had no impact on his team as they lost 3-0 to Charlton Athletic today.

Goals from Johan Berg Gudmondsson, Igor Vetokele and Frederic Bulot condemned Brentford to their third defeat in four Championship games, but Warburton has stressed that his team were not disrupted by suggestions that he will leave the club in the summer.

He told reporters: "It would be too easy to say what has happened this week has impacted the group. There's too much quality in there for that and as a group of staff we wouldn't allow it to happen.

"The players are human, they see it and read papers and there appears to be lots of speculation. But it's had no effect whatsoever. They're a strong group.

"We have no excuses. We trained and prepared well, we were ready, and it was just a bad day at the office. We were slow to the ball, gave it away cheaply and made poor decisions in possession."

Brentford have fallen to seventh in the Championship table, one point adrift of the final playoff place.
