Likelihood this time? Pretty good I'd have thought.

no way, Peterborough have won 6/6 this month

 

[BILLERICAY BLUE]

I would have said he is the outsider of 4.

Peterborough - 6 wins out of 6.

Millwall - 6 wins out of 7 (1 Defeat)

Leeds - 4 wins and 2 draws from 6 games.

My money's on Ferguson to get it

Maybe, in fact I don't think they've lost since we beat them.

In view of the fact that Tilly had to have been runner up last month and that we beat Peterborough at theirs last month, I am just hoping the judging panel might take a slightly wider view this month. Our turnaround has been far more significant than what those other three have done.

You've completely lost me there. He rightly missed out last month, and our victory against them was in February (so is irrelevant seeing as it's a March competition). This month we've won 4 and lost 2 whilst Peterborough have won all 6, and you're trying to argue that Tilly has done a better job this month? This is a manager of the month competition which has always (from what I've seen) been judged on the results that the team has achieved, resources and previous form have never come into it.

I think Tilly would be genuinely embarrassed if he won it seeing as all the other teams have had better results

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

Hope Tilly doesn't win it, I don't want us to start losing.

I think he has previously broken the MOTM curse, but I like the fact that we seem to be unnoticed as we sneak up the table.

Ok, you're not seeing it, I can't be bothered to explain. Forget it.

But he's right...:unsure:

 

[Rayleigh Blue]

Northern managers always win. tilly has been up for this a number of times but has only one it about once.

I get what your trying to say. Peterborough, Millwall and Leeds? are expected to win week in week out with the clubs statures and where they are in the table, whilst i do agree that it should go to Darren Ferguson you have to look at their form for the last couple of games before the month as well to see if it's continuous or if they have turned form around, which would be more rewarding for the MotM award?

 

[A Century United]

But he's right...:unsure:

MotM isn't judged purely on who got the most wins in the month. While I accept that Posh will probably win it, there are other factors to be taken into consideration as OBL was trying to point out.

For instance (and this is hypothetical, so don't have a go at me) the manager of a club which had lost 10 consecutive games, had also lost several players in a transfer window/to injury or whatever, and who then managed to win 4 out of his next 6 including perhaps a win away at Leeds would have a very good claim even if another team, rolling in money and romping away at the top of the table had won all six of their matches in the month.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Yep should win it for our scintilating performance away at Swindon

 

[maninasuitcase]

Northern managers always win. tilly has been up for this a number of times but has only one it about once.

But he did win the manager of the year overall.

But we aren't that - if we were to get it, it should have been February, not this one.

 

[SportBilly]

I think it will be Tilly's this month.

 

[SUFCFANS]

I would imagine Tilly comes close to having now achieved the most number of nominations for MOM - given he always seems to make the short list a few times a season..

Tilly has broken that "curse" at least twice that I can think of, possibly more.
