After guiding Motherwell up the Scottish Premiership table and into a four-way title-race, Jens Berthel Askou has once again been named Manager of the Month.
The Dane's side enjoyed a near-perfect February, winning three league matches and drawing one while scoring 10 goals along the way.
The sole blemish on that record was a 1-1 draw at home to Rangers with 10 men; the only time they conceded a Premiership goal in February.
The Fir Park club sit fourth in the table, 10 points off league leaders Hearts, and visit champions Celtic on Saturday.
In addition to becoming a surprise fourth force in the battle for league glory, Motherwell have shattered countless club records this season and are among the best defensive sides in Europe...
How do you compete with three adversaries like Hearts, Celtic and Rangers - clubs who dwarf you in budget and fanbase?
First of all, you make yourself hard to beat. But in Askou's case, that does not mean putting 11 bodies behind the ball in a low block. In fact, he has done quite the opposite.
His teams are built to dominate, suffocate, and demoralise their opposition - without the need for self-indulgent overcomplication.
On his team's style, Askou said: "We have to enjoy it along the way, we have to enjoy the process because if the end product has to be joyful and entertaining and exciting, then I think it's important that the process is the same and that there's a lot of positivity and optimism that drives the process.
"Obviously a lot of hard work, a lot of determination, but let's try to make the positive mindset fill up the emotional space and eradicate fear and concern because the way we want to play, we need the positivity and the optimism and the joy to play with that freedom that it takes."
Nobody in the Scottish Premiership, or even Europe's top five leagues, has conceded fewer goals [20] or kept as many clean sheets [16].
Arsenal's rock-solid backline leaks more goals, as do the defensive specialists at the top end of Serie A - only AC Milan can claim to have kept as many out. PSG, Bayern Munich, Barcelona and Real Madrid, who are all expected to crush their domestic divisions, are still more vulnerable at the back than Motherwell.
'But it's only Scotland' you may cry.
There is no disputing that the level of player and standard of team in Europe's top five leagues is significantly higher, but all of the aforementioned clubs are expected to be where they are, Motherwell are not.
Pound for pound, this is likely Europe's best defensive team.
Yet you rarely see them defend, never mind 'park the bus'. After all, the opposition cannot score if they do not have the ball.
Motherwell have lost one home game all season - a 2-1 defeat to Falkirk in October. Since then, they have shipped just one goal on their own turf in more than 18 hours of football.
Fir Park is not your standard cliched 'fortress', though.
This is not a battleground stoked by a raucous crowd, but rather a glittery stage for the Askou show. It is poetry, not prose.
Visiting players dread it; they leave with both their minds and bodies tired and tortured after 90 minutes of chasing shadows.
That is how Motherwell beat you, it is a game of torment. Sit off? They will make you shuffle until someone leaves their slot. Go man for man? They will knock it round you in one touch. Askou's football is great to watch and that is why the fans are coming back. Over 7,000 home supporters watched them dispose of Dundee United a couple of weekends back - that is more than a 25 per cent increase on last year's average home attendance.
And this impressive home form could be crucial in the run-in.
Although fixtures are still to be finalised, they are due to welcome both Celtic and Hearts to Fir Park post-split.
Ten points off top spot, nine games to go.
Objectively a tall order with matches running out, but the Steelmen have ample opportunity to strike direct blows on rivals.
From now until the end of the season, they will only face top-six opposition, with matches against Celtic, Hibernian, Falkirk and Hearts all still to come before the split.
That also means they will get to play the league's top two home and away before the end of the season.
You can look at it two ways: on one hand, they have by far the most difficult run-in; on the other, a perfect chance to take points off those around them.
They know their title rivals need to drop points for them to have a chance anyway, so Askou would surely rather trust his own side with that task than having to rely on others.
Four games until the split, win them all and they will find themselves within seven points of the leaders - that is assuming Hearts win the rest of their games too.
It is not insurmountable.
History will tell you that teams like this are not 'supposed' to win the league, but it has been pretty clear that history has provided no reliable reference point for predicting anything that has happened this campaign.
Watch them play and you will see a team every bit as good as, if not better, than the top three.
