WANDERERS boss Gary Waddock read his team the riot act after they capitulated to a 6-0 defeat at Huddersfield Town this lunchtime.

He tore into his players at the final whistle and has warned some of them that they could well have played their last game for the club.

He said: “It wasn't good enough. We didn't compete, we didn't defend as a group and to be fair the scoreline should have been a lot heavier than it was.

“I was embrassed, full stop.”

And the furious new boss added: “For me the getting to know you period is over. I told them that at half time and I told them again in no uncertain times afterwards.

“It is now decision time. They are playing for their futures.

“I will take the result because that's my job but they will have to take care of their own performances and their performances weren't good enough.

“We are in the position we are in at the bottom of the table for a reason. We have to address that and we will.

“Me and my assistant are fighters and if we don't see that spirit among the group of players we've got we will address it.

“For me the season starts today. The honeymoon period has finished, underlined, capital letters, finished. Decisions will be made.

“If players want to do it and jump on board with us great, if they don't they can go and fine a future elsewhere.”

He looks set to start with the defence who have now conceded 13 goals in three matches.

They lost by six but Huddersfield hit the woodwork, and had four efforts cleared off the line.

Waddock said: “Our defending was appalling. Huddersfield are an extremely good side but we have got to be able to compete and defend.

“That wasn't even a standard we set today, we didn't compete, we didn't mark people. They are professional footballers and they didn't do the jobs that you expect done.

“I hope this is the worst day I ever experience as a manager."

But while he had to watch his team raise the white flag in Yorkshire, he says he is not about to follow suit as he came out fighting.

He said: "It's been a bad day and we've lost another three points, but we haven't been relegated yet and we're not going to be.

“Our season starts here. That's fighting talk and I want to see that in my players. I want them to fight, to scrap and battle to get points home and away.

“I have asked the players how many of them expect to play on Wednesday and told them not to come knocking on my door if they are not in the team.

“It's time to make decisions. Players will like it if they are involved, players won't like it if they are not.

“I will be speaking to the owner and the chairman, telling them my thoughts and my views and then we will take it from there.”

Wanderers winger Kevin Betsy, who was one of only a few bright lights in an otherwise dismal display said: "Call it the hairdryer treatment or whatever you want but the manager left us in no uncertain terms what he thought of us. That dressing room was not a nice place to be and we deserved everything he threw at us.

"We let him down, ourselves down and the supporters down and we owe everyone an apology."
