Shrewsbury Town, Swindon Town, AFC Wimbledon, Crawley Town, Morecambe. Southend United have been rewarded for their rise to the top of League Two in September with places on the shortlist of two awards.

Paul Sturrock: Shortlisted for Manager of the Month

Michael Timlin: Shortlisted for Player of the Month

If you win four succesive games in a month without conceding a goal while ending it looking down on the rest of the division there's a good chance you might be looked at for monthly homours, and sure enough a couple of Shrimpers have and both with a good chance of winning, certainly Luggy as best boss, with four wins, one draw and a defeat during that time.

If it happens let's hope there's no curse on results for the rest of October!

Manager of the Month for September shortlist:  Paul Sturrock (Southend United), Graham Turner (Shrewsbury Town), Paulio Di Canio (Swindon Town), Terry Brown (AFC Wimbledon).

Player of the Month for September shortlist: Michael Timlin (Southend United), Matt Ritchie (Crawley Town), Danny Carlton (Morecambe).

Swindon loanee Michel Timlin has been in storming form in midfield and scored a couple of stunners against Rotherham United in the  month, hope this doesn't make the Robins fancy a recall!

Here though he may have more opposition, and I fancy his parent club's young winger Rirchie for the gong, but congratulations to them both and all the squad for helping them get in this position.

COME ON YOU BLUES!!!!!!
