Former Forest player John Sheridan has pipped Smoulderwood to the November manager of the month award, which is a shame really as we’ve playing as though under a curse from the end of November and into December anyway! The Oldham boss picked up the award after winning all three league games in November as well as an FA Cup win, and subsequent win in the league taking the Latics on a six match winning run.
Smoulderwood had an almost unblemished record in November – a draw away at Rotherham in the league, and a penalty defeat to Bristol City in the Johnston’es Paint Trophy being those blemishes, was in the hat for the award, as were Dario Gradi of Crewe Alexandra and Ronnie Moore of Tranmere Rovers. Looking at the numbers it’s hard to argue against Sheridan’s award; so let’s hope the curse is still active come New Year’s day when we make the trip up to Oldham!
