Nothing surprising in there but always comes across well.
Basically we are small fishes in this league and need to stay within our means. That said it is a tight division and nothing to say we can't aim to continually improve. We do have youngsters coming through, add in a few clever signings and a couple of half decent loans each year and that is likely the medium term future of the club. If we wanted to be challenging for trophies then supporting QPR is a spectacular error of judgement!

Sounds like he's got a bunker mentality before season's even started..... doesn't fill me with any hope, excitement or expectation whatsoever - another meh season like the last one, and the one before that and the one before that. In fact, anyone who wants "a bit more" is being disloyal and unrealistic according to Warburton.

Agree with you. Whist a lot of what he said made sense it didnt inspire me with hope for the future. Some of it was very disappointing too.

He needed to convey far more excitement and belief, even if it were a tad phoney. He can wheel out all the realism next month when we've lost 5 on the spin, today he should be spewing all manner of hyperbolic tub-thumping proclamations out.
I'm surprised to be honest. I don't rate him as a coach/manager at all but I thought he had the intelligence to at least present a "glass half full' persona on the eve of a new season. Fact he's gone "half empty" instead makes me wonder if he's actually as canny and clever as I thought.

Come on guys, what was encouraging about that interview?
Maybe he spoke the truth, but lets face it that is not want we want to hear just before the season kick off. A few years ago Les did the same kind of interview and rightly got slated by many fans.
As for the defensive work they do. We conceded over 70 goals last season and they weren't all down to individual errors, poor marking or excellent goals. Many of them were down to his tactics and poor organisation because let's be honest here he doesn't do good defending with his teams.
