Hope not.. Can do without the curse (although it didn't stop Danny Wilson winning it two months in a row)

Won 4 lost 2. I'm pretty sure better records, Wycombe for one.

No sure thing as the curse.

But not from the position we were in at the beginning of March.

I'm pointing out teams in our league have better records in March. Which is true.

Why are you sending me PMs and then deleting them?

It's simple regression to the mean. If a team is enjoying an unusually good run of form due to chance, then they're unlikely to do just as well in the next month. The "curse" is simply the product of most of football being outside of the manager's control, and the award not recognising that.

If you've actually turned the corner, then the award will make no difference. Steve Coppell's wins never affected Reading's form because we actually had a ridiculously good team. Adam Le Fondre would always win the player's award in January and then have a dry February, because his form depended on the ball bouncing just right and the referee overlooking casual handballs.

Moore deserves it. You looked absolutely dead a month ago, now you're on course for safety.

Burn him, doubting the curse amounts to witchcraft.

Nah he's talking statistics, I like him.

P.S. Thanks for Tshibola, the lad has gone from strength to strength. I wasn't overly impressed at first but he's been quality recently. Yesterday in particular he was great!

Can't see any statistics, did you mean facts?

Got to agree, Tshibola will play Championship at least.
