Gaffer in with a shout of being named Sky Bet's Championship Manager of the Month for November

Town boss Mick McCarthy is among the nominations for the Sky Bet November Championship Manager of the Month award.

The gaffer led the Blues to ten points from a possible 12 last month, which included two superb away victories at Rotherham and Charlton, as well as a home victory over Bolton.

Mick will go up against Derby’s Paul Clement, Boro boss Aitor Karanka and Chris Hughton of Brighton for the title.

The winners will be announced tomorrow at 6am.
