Manager of the month curse

Not much else to add.

It still exists.

 

Anyone else checked brightons record from 11/11/10 till 13/1/11?

 

Nah, super, I think two draws is a curse...

 

P7 W2 D3 L2 - Whats your point Super?

But look at their record from 1st March to 17th April - P12 W11 D1 L0 - Impressive...

Apologies for the copying, sticking columns out a little but you get the picture. I know which top team i'd rather be.

 

My point is that this time is usually tough on most squads. I'm not concerned by 2 draws. Brighton went 5 games without a win and got 95 points. We shave accumulated between 10-15 points more at the same stage?

 

Yeh Brighton because they actually won the League and got promoted.

As the players say lets not look at the League table until April / May time when it really matters. Dont forget Leeds were also running away with the League before going on a disruptive cup run (look familiar?)

 

See what you're saying A4L but I only meant at the same stage...

 

Nah I know where your coming from Alex Im the same

tbh I say we need to look at the table only come Apr / May but whenever SkySportsNews is on I end up jumping round the room when it scrolls round to the League One table lol!

And I dont know bout anyone else but seeing Huddersfield score that 97min equaliser my cheeks certainly puffed in relief like Joe Hart's did yesterday (I think a 3-pt gap going into Xmas wouldnt be that comfy)

 

I obviously didn't mean it overly seriously.

We have to see how the whole month curse goes, but still. The form has undeniably dropped since the award. (Keeping in mind it was 8(?) wins in a row, it was going to happen)

 

Two draws against Walsall and Oldham is a drop in form, the same happened to Huddersfield's Clark after they got the award, their form dipped.
