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!

I see. Cheers

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.

Don o rierdan bringing back heady days of top flight football, shame for him and notts his career was ended in the first match away at man utd

notts to play man utd in a league match is the stuff of dreams for this generation of notts supporters

Nail hit.

I don't think we should get rid of IB now, I do still believe in him just not the players we have. I think he can still be a good manager for us in the long run. I was angry after the game but more at the players I guess, they're the ones on the pitch who can't see a 2 nil lead out against 10 men though I'm not sure why Brindley was brought off for DKE. Trouble is once they scored one you knew they'd at least equalise, we are so soft we crumble like schoolboys. Not good enough for professional footballers. Still onto the next one. COYP

I went to the game on Saturday. Totally gutted, but comforted m'sen by thinking things could not possibly get any worse (honestly). Then tonight's shambles....

Gawd knows we have had some bad times down the years - but the last few days!!
