The November nominations for the Sky Bet League One Manager of the Month Award are:
Matt Bloomfield (Wycombe Wanderers)
The Wycombe train he has created keeps on rolling. A stunning 5-0 win at Stockport took his side top, a position they reinforced during a second unbeaten month in which they collected a perfect 12 points from four games, scoring ten goals.
Dave Challinor (Stockport County)
If a 5-0 home defeat to Wycombe at the start of November was a jolting shock, Challinor oversaw a magnificent response by leading County to three straight wins without conceding a goal, including their own 5-0 win over Bolton.
Michael Duff (Huddersfield Town)
Duff has made a subtle change to add a second holding midfielder which has resulted in greater control and consistency for his promotion-chasing side. Their unbeaten run continued in November, collecting seven points from three unbeaten matches.
Phil Parkinson (Wrexham)
His consistency of approach, plus a willingness to give opportunities to squad players to make an impact, has been key to Wrexham continuing their upward trajectory. They collected nine points from four games maintaining their promotion push.
The November nominations for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month Award are:
Louie Barry (Stockport County) - striker
Teams have started to double up on marking Barry, but it hasn’t slowed him down, as shown by six goal involvements in November, scoring four himself, which included two trademark jinking runs and clinically struck shots at Burton.
Max Cleworth (Wrexham) – central defender
Cleworth’s return from injury to the Wrexham defence has been seamless, contributing to three clean sheets in four games with his bravery, ability to sweep up, and calm composure on the ball. He headed in the opening goal against Exeter.
Harvey Knibbs (Reading) - striker
Three goals in three away games for Knibbs who has returned from an early season injury with renewed vigour. Direct, strong, and willing to run at defenders, he scored a late equaliser at Stevenage and both goals against Peterborough.
Joe Low (Wycombe Wanderers) – central defender
A stellar month at both ends for 22-year-old Low. His positional sense, willingness to block shots, and composure on the ground contributed to three clean sheets in four games. His commanding leap saw him score headers at Wigan and Lincoln.
