October Manager / Player of the Month

Fingers crossed Ferguson and Harness win it.

Ferguson can have his time now and the lesser known Dembele who after two indifference seasons as a striker is in rich goal scoring form.

The only time to win awards is at the end of Season when you are holding a Trophy aloft.

Didn't this happen in on of our promotion seasons? Didn't win POTM or MOTM until right near the end

Lee and Ben should win, hopefully the bad luck curse will strike us this Saturday during the international break

Johnnie Jackson tries to run on to prevent the mass brawl, but suddenly finds that his legs have actually gone

While we did indeed keep October a goal free month. I would say it was more down to a well organised back for than the heroics of Amos. I'd be more inclined to give it to Gunter.

I think that's fair comment. The issue is that, unless a defender contributes goals to numerous clean sheets, it's usually going to be the keeper that gets nominated for such awards.

I've never really paid much attention to player of the months. Is it unusual for defenders to pick up the accolade?

I would say so. It's one for the glory boys not the ones who quietly and efficiently do their job!

Agreed, nominating Amos suggests we had Gordon Banks at his best saving shot after shot, when in reality it was the team as a whole defending well and preventing many shots on goal

Famewo would be a good shout as well

Think it'll be Ferguson and Amos. They like to spread it out

How on earth a manager who had not lost a game in the month of October & won 5 out of 6 doesn't win MOTM is beyond me.......seeing as the team also didn't let a goal in during that time either.

Because the guy that won it won 6 out of 7?

Amos made 2 saves in the Northampton game that any Prem keeper would have been proud of.
well deserved.
