Under fire Notts County boss, Ian McParland has declared that he is unwilling to throw in the towel, despite his team's disastrous form. 
The Magpies have dropped to 16th in the table, crashed out of the FA Cup and lost seven of their previous 11 games.
Despite plenty of transfer action over the past year, Notts are actually a point worse off than the same stage last season.
With no notable improvements since the departure of Steve Thompson last October, large sectors appear to have lost all faith in the current managerial set-up.
Chants calling for the Scotsman's head rang around the Deva Stadium on Saturday after many decided that the lacklustre 2-0 loss to Chester City was the last straw.
Undeterred by those questioning his ability to drag the club out of this mess, McParland announced that he refuses to quit in his post-match interview with BBC Radio Nottingham.
He declared: "I'll get on with it until anybody tells me different.
"As long as I'm here, I'll be fighting - I'll always be a fighter and supporters who remember me playing will know that.
"That's what supporters and media people are like but they've got a right to because we haven't been winning matches."
The returning Michael Johnson appeared to be upset by the actions of some supporters in the aftermath and announced that the team needs their backing more than ever in these difficult times.
"Some of the stuff I witnessed coming off the field I don't want to talk about," he said, speaking to the Nottingham Evening Post.
"There were gestures towards the lads which as a player who has had a close affinity with the club for going on nearly 20 years was embarrassing.
"Every defeat wounds players so it's not a pleasant time at the minute. There
were chants of 'you're not good enough to wear the Notts County shirt' which is not helping.
"We are looking for the fans to get behind the team, not give the players stick.
"We are falling short of getting results. We all know it, we are not stupid.
"What the fans did was not helpful. I understand they can voice their opinions but we are all in it together - well, we would like to think so.
"This club has had a bad time over the last few years but if people aren't seeing an improvement from last season they are not watching the same game as me.
"We are improving. We are not going to go from just avoiding relegation last season to challenging for promotion, but we are improving.
He added: "We need to all pull together. It's going to take a club effort to get out of the mess we are in right now - and we need the fans."
Increasingly, more fans are beginning to air their concerns, and another defeat against Lincoln City at the weekend could cause result in a similar outbreak of hostility.
