PodgeyRam Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 November 1996 - Jim Smith wins Manager of the Month. November 2006 - Billy Davies wins Manager of the Month. November 2016 - Steve McClaren wins Manager of the Month. Small sample I know, but a bit of a trend. November 2026, who will be the Derby manager that wins Manager of the Month?

You make your own luck, no such thing as the curse. It what sense is it 'luck' if you make it yourself? But you are right, if people ignore things like this, they won't have any effect.

In_The_Dark_Ram Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 No curse, just good runs (that bring MOTM) have to come to an end. After 5 good results it's likely that one of the next five will see a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually the best we could hope for would be a massive freeze on Saturday night covering the A52 in 8 feet of snow. It's all about damage limitation - although how we'll recover after Sundays deflating defeat I know not. Hopefully a good win for Forest will inspire them to play off glory and we can go again next season without having to worry about them. WTF??

SaintRam Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Pretty sure the "curse" got to such structure within the minds of fans that multiple articles have been published thoroughly disproving it. Nice to have a supernatural excuse ready made for when we lose though, best to not hold anyone accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whoneedshuls Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Don't believe in curses Brighton did us a huge favour last night by beating Leeds now we're only 3 points behind them and gaining momentum the only way is up come on u Rams.

That game happened in December, for one thing. The league can justify that the award celebrates Novembers game alone. Small comfort - Lansbury won the award for playing at the top of his game. Tom Ince came a close second (supposedly) playing well, but I still feel that he can go up a few more gears and get even better (not a dig, that's a positive).

I am sure some statistical analysis would soon prove that there is no curse. You mean 4th. 3rd goes up more often than any other placement. 4th hadn't gone up in about 20 years... Until QPR...

Dimmu Posted December 10, 2016 Share Posted December 10, 2016 Curse is mixed with odds. Some team usually manages to win every game of the month, but draw or loss every now and then ain't curse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think I've heard anyone ever saying that about 3rd place. You'd have to really not pay attention to the game to say that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
