Charlton Athletic manager Lee Bowyer was announced as the League One Manager of the Month for April on Friday, but rather than be happy some Addicks fans are concerned about the news.
Five wins and one defeat throughout the month saw the 42-year-old beat his peers to the award, with the south London club guaranteed a play-off spot.
In fact, they could still finish third should results go their way on Saturday, with Sunderland only ahead of them on goal difference and Portsmouth two points ahead.
While it is a great accolade for their boss and sums up what a great job he is doing in difficult circumstances at The Valley, not every supporter is pleased with the news.
The Manager of the Month award has long been associated with a curse once an individual has won it, and that is obviously not a great potential omen ahead of Charlton’s play-off campaign where they will hope to return to the Championship.
From last minute penalties to being taken apart by local rivals, fans pick the moments that defined their clubs’ seasons in the video below…
While one Addicks fan said “oh dear” on hearing the announcement, another said it was “the worst month to have won this”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
