Slavisa Jokanovic has missed out on February's manager of the month award after the judging panel awarded Huddersfield Town boss David Wagner the accolade, but is it a blessing in disguise?

We all know about the so-called curse associated with this award, the one where the side whose manager wins it struggles the following month and plummets down the league quicker than a rock in water.

Wagner was awarded the gong for his Huddersfield side picking up 16 points from six games, including three home wins against promotion rivals Brighton, Reading and Leeds and the curse could already be having an affect on his side after they were beaten comfortably by Newcastle at start of March.

Tom Cairney has already said what a pivotal month March is going to be for Fulham - they play their game in hand next Tuesday against Blackburn in what is essentially a must-win game for the Cottagers, while a trip to Newcastle tomorrow and a home tie against Wolves complete the month.

It would've been nice for Jokanovic to have won the award and to be rewarded for what was a stunning February, where Fulham picked up 13 points from six games to climb to seventh, but maybe from a superstitious point of view it's better that he didn't win so the curse couldn't have an impact on his side's run to the play-off?
