Nominations for Championship Manager and Player of the month

[Thunder Bolt]

Unsurprising list. I'd love Stocko to get the player of the month, but Monk is welcome to the managerial award.

The longer our manager and players steer clear of these pesky awards (aka the kiss of death) the better IMHO.

Nothing to see, move along. Being top off the league with the best defensive record is enough, don't need the curse of these awards causing any upset.

Usually when a GK gets nominated, they win.

That's our January written off then.

Unfortunately Hughton is probably a shoo-in for manager of the month given that we beat Leeds. Fulham did have some good results with what looks like a tougher fixture list but we won the most games...

Agreed. As much as I would hate Hughton to win it due to the curse, it would be ridiculous for the manager of the team top of the table at this stage not to have won a manager of the month award in the first five months.

Not too worried about Stockdale. You never hear talk of the player of the month curse so hopefully he wins it.

The last time Chris won this (along with LuaLua) we still had good results following the award.

 

[Dick Swiveller]

Chris won.

CH the only manager photographed accepting his award with his whole team of coaches. Managers from other divisions taking all the credit. Another small sign of just how classy this man and the operation he has built are.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

100% deserved and hopefully Manager of the Season to come.

There is NO curse, it's like not saluting a Magpie, you don't die the next day. Honest.

There is no charge for this information.

It's a shame that keepers rarely win awards. We have the best defence in the league, but Stockdale misses out.

I realise that but it is funny how many teams on good form lose the next game after their manager wins the award.

On a serious note, fully deserved for Chris Hughton. Another great month and we've already started this one well too!

If he succumbs to the curse I'm happy he's won it this week.

I guess Chris is too classy to send Colin Calderwood the picture of him holding the award and standing with Paul Trollope . I don't think I would be.

It's a good point. Villa have got significantly less points than us since Calderwood left us and went there. Great that Paul Trollope has come in and we've not noticed any issues.

But they don't https://www.theguardian.com/football/blog/2014/oct/19/manager-of-the-month

So, in two seasons, only two of the 18 MotMs went on to lose their next game.

Doesn't sound like much of a curse to me
