Preston North End manager Alan Irvine will discover at lunchtime on Thursday if he has landed his first Manager of the Month award in the Championship.
The Scot is on a shortlist of four along with Birmingham's AlexMcLeish, Wolves' Mick McCarthy and Gary Johnson of Bristol City.

The quartet have all led their sides to an unbeaten start in August.

Preston have won three and drawn the other in their first four fixtures of the new season.

The winner will be announced on Sky Sports News at 1.20pm.

McCarthy will get it following their 5-1 drubbing of Forest last weekend and the fact that although they are on the same points as us they are top on GD.

Don't want it anyuway as it brings bad luck.

Tom, whilst I agree with the fact that the first MoM usually goes to the manager of the team at the top, it whould be recognised that PNE were not expected to be where they are (well, by the bookies etc, not by PNE fans!). So, relatively speaking, PNE have done the best for the 4 ganes so far from an expectation point of view.

I also do not subscribe to the unluckiness of the MoM award. Alan Irvine has the momentum going here. The only thing it may bring is unwarranted attention, whereas PNE prefer to just get on with it ans surprise teams.

I think if we had beat Derby in the cup we would have won it....... i mean Irvine would have won it.

I think it would be nice if irvine won it, but don't see it happening because we are not as fashionable or as big as Wolves if you believe what everyone outside the club says, personally i think Irvine should win it as he doesn't have the resources of a club like birmingham or wolves, even if he doesn't we the fans know what he has achieved and we should start to show it on the terraces, i know we have been burnt with this b4 by disloyal managers but i thing Irvine could be the one, lilywhites 4ever!!

alan will not win it, surely you have noticed that sky sports and especially chris kamara will not give or have ever given preston and anyone connected with preston the recognition they deserve. take notice over the season

I think Chris Kamara may not like PNE since a few of us gave him a drunken grilling in a Cardiff hotel after the Bolton play off defeat. Mind you he wont be the first presenter to hate us. Anyone remember Elton Welsby??

well, a few mins to go, and for those of you die-hards that were on the Derby game, the SKY panel were biased towards Derby the whole night. Of course they used phrases such as "no disrespect to Alan Irvine but ...." quite annoying!
