Danny Wilson chairs the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month judging panel.

He said: “10 points and 4 unbeaten games lifted Lincoln into a healthy 3rd place endorsing Michael’s reputation as a very talented young coach.”

Sky Sports’ EFL pundit Don Goodman said: “There is no doubting that Micheal Skubala’s Lincoln City were the inform team in September.

“They picked up 10 points from four unbeaten games and ran World Champions Chelsea very close in the League Cup.

“Wins over Burton, Luton and Peterborough helped The Imps climb to third in League One.”

Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies said: “Lincoln continued their excellent start to the League One season under head coach Michael Skubala, collecting 10 points during an unbeaten September to climb into the top three.

“Their promotion odds have shortened from 12/1 to 13/2, though they still remain outsiders given the competitive nature of the league.”
