Title: Sadly ? Fergie Manager of the month with 3 out of 3 ?? for November
Post by: Colemans Left Hook on November 27, 2016, 06:08:40 pm
Rovers have only played 3 matches this month - the OTHER top proper teams have all lost at least once
in their 4 games so there can't be a lot of challengers ??

usually a lesser team wins this so hopefully since Rovers are a "proper"  team the hoodoo won't strike ??

Think the Wycombe manager will win it. 4 wins out of 4 in the league, a win over Pompey in the FA cup and only a loss to Coventry in the cup not a lot of people are bothered about.

Probably where I'd go with it.

It shows how close the rest of the league is though when they've gone from cannon fodder to comfortably in the play-offs in such a short space of time. Shades of 2013/14 in League Two, but even closer.

The way it's going, 50 points (+VAT) will be needed to stay in the league.

Nice try, but I don't think it will be enough to tempt BST out to play.  ;)

4 out of 4 trumps 3 out of 3 so I think Ainsworth is a shoo-in. Fergie will make the shortlist though.

I think we will pick up one EFL award for this month though.

What's the quickest in modern times that we've secured 50 pts in a league programme?  Has it ever been done before new year?

The Wycombe manager deserves it. He has totally turned them around from struggling to just off the pace. Their own fans had written him off.
I think Ainsworth is a cracking manager with the resources he has. I don't like the style of play but it get's them results.

Mandeville must be in with a chance of the EFL Young Player of the Month as well.

yes unless it's a "Florida count" my abacus agrees with you

when Rovers played Wycombe they were next to the bottom (Barnet were as well when Rovers played them) Wycombe were my tip for relegation and i still wouldn't rule them out

If not at a match i suggest you watch the "in play" league table - when everyone is playing -- it's a proper game of snakes and ladders even yeovil have been in the play-offs mid match
