Central defender Richard Naylor says he told Neil Warnock to get off the pitch after the Sheffield United manager made gestures towards the North Stand after Town's 1-1 draw with the Blades on Saturday. Warnock is likely to face action over the incident with referee Clive Penton including it in his match report.
Naylor said: "Neil Warnock looked as if he was winding up the crowd and I didn't take too kindly to it.
"I approached him and told him to get off the pitch. I was disappointed at us only getting a point and, perhaps, I let my frustration boil over a little, but I genuinely thought that he was doing the wrong thing by going over to the North Stand crowd and doing the 1-1 gesture.
"I didn't touch him and it was a question of handbags at 10 paces, although there was a bit of verbal. You could see the fans thought he was out of order and I certainly did.
"If he wants to go around doing things like that then that is up to him, I suppose, but you don't see the top managers doing things like that."
