Sketchy reports coming through that IB has been suspended?

Reports from where?

Any idea why?

I don’t think that’s fair on our fans. Neither Brentford or Swansea started off in non league. The model may well work in League 2 because they’ve got 4 promotion places, you fail one year, you’ve still got a decent chance the next(apart from us of course) You can develop young players in this league, but the unfortunate thing is that you still have to be winning week in, week out.

What we’ve seemingly assembled this season is a squad of individually good players, but with zero mental strength or nous to play for 90 minutes and see out the difficult situations that win you games. Is that sort of thing accounted for in ‘The Model’?

True it is hardest league to get out of but this is their plan by looks of it.

If it fails they will likely walk away then its anyones guess who buys us

Reports from where?

Very sketchy reports on the Facebook page…not my own! Apparently due to the fracas with him and someone from their bench….did he headbutt someone?

Probably b0llocks!

Clearly lost his head tonight although he told Charlie he didn't. Think he's feeling the pressure. Needs a big character to handle this club. Mad Dog until the end of the season...

Don’t think right now is the time to be sacking managers. A bit of calm is needed at the minute. If IB is their man the owners have to back him now, even if we consolidate this year and push next….though there is obviously still time to get it right this term.

Having said that, it will be some hardened souls who make the trip down to Yeovil on Saturday!

Now you're talking. Get him back

Does anyone think IB might need more help form his assistant, especially at time like these ?

Maybe.

I can remember thinking and saying on many occasions last season that Michael Doyle's much vaunted 'vast experience' didn't seem to have much effect on the team when we were under pressure, and it doesn't seem like it was helping much from the sidelines tonight.

Those of us who remember the impact another ageing veteran Don O'Riordan had on our rise to glory many years ago might agree with me that Doyle's influence both on and off the pitch does not seem as significant.
