No, these awards have a tendency to be the kiss of death - how many managers lose their next game after being named manager of the month? Tom Ward won this particular award once before and look what happened to him afterwards. Gainsborough now have the most mediocre side they've had in years (and that's saying something), and Ward hasn't been able to get into that team.
Give the award to someone else, and let Ricky carry on scoring and taking us up the table without the extra media attention. Once we've secured promotion, then I'll be happy for Ricky to be named Skrill North Player of the Season.
Bearing in mind our fixture on 1st February, how do I go about nominating Steve Housham for the January manager of the month award?
