No matter what we do, after a certain period of success, there is always two or three matches which could be termed as having 'dodgy' results, after which the status quo is restored. By then it's too late as the teams which seem to be immune to the 'bug' are at the top and running away.

If they do have a bad result, and the next match for 'us' is a slam dunk (bottom of the table team, much poorer in quality), then the thought is 'got a chance here', and then the 'Troll' card is played - GK plays a blinder, defence blocks everything, prolific scoring players miss everything in sight and they score from their only shot on target (usually around the 75th minute)...
Ah, ok. You meant this always seem to happen to us, and not the other teams, especially those 'auto-mode' teams. This is something that I find strange also; why does it seem to affect only serious managers?
