Andy Scott fires warning to Brentford stars

Pim Balkestein
ANDY Scott has told his Brentford players they won't be picked on reputation.
The Bees boss dropped summer signing Pim Balkestein from the starting XI at Swindon on Saturday after a disappointing display against Walsall the week before.
Karleigh Osborne replaced the Dutch defender and put in a man-of-the-match display at the County ground, with Scott warning only those doing the business will keep their shirt.
He said: "Karleigh's attitude in training has been outstanding, and he's really become a man now. It's taken him a while to get there but he's forced his way in.
"Pim knows he's got to be playing at 100 per cent to stay in the side.
"There's competition for places everywhere, and at a side where you expect to do well you need that.
"We've got a group of players who understand that and are willing to fight for their place. Once they do the job they keep their place until it starts going wrong for them."
