‘Have the three points Leeds’, ‘Horrible news’ – These Nottingham Forest fans fume at Fri update
Nottingham Forest fans are convinced they’re going to be struck by the curse of the Manager of the Month award as they prepare to host Leeds United on Saturday.
The EFL announced Sabri Lamouchi as the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the month for January as he’s guided his side to within four points of the top two.
Marcelo Bielsa was awarded the November Manager of the Month award after a brilliant run.
Since then they’ve only won four of the last 12 and two of the last 10 games across all competitions.
Now there’s obviously no such thing as a Manager of the Month curse (or is there?), but that hasn’t stopped Forest fans fearing the worst on Twitter.
They were unbeaten in January with a 1-0 result against promotion rivals Brentford the standout.
However, they lost their first game in February against Birmingham last week and face a Leeds side in desperate need of a win on Saturday.
Plenty of Forest fans are hating the fact that Lamouchi was unveiled as the man on Friday morning and while we don’t officially believe in curses, we’re happy to take any advantage we can for tomorrow’s huge game…
The following tweets make for good reading if you’re a Leeds fan:
One Forest fan issued a rallying cry and urged his team and fellow fans to try and think positively and break the curse. Good luck with that one…
