ALT October Player of the Month: Will Lankshear, Middlesbrough
ALT October Manager of the Month: Kim Hellberg, Middlesbrough
ALT James Bree (Southampton) – full-back Bree’s prodigious work-rate allows him to impact matters at both ends of the pitch. He did just that in October, contributing to three clean sheets while scoring the derby day winner against Portsmouth and a thigh-high screamer at West Ham. Andri Gudjohnsen (Blackburn Rovers) – striker Gudjohnsen ended October with an astonishing goals-to-chances conversion rate of over 47% for the season. His clinical finishing owes much to his decisiveness in front of goal, striking the ball with conviction for five goals in as many games. Will Lankshear (Middlesbrough) - striker Lankshear is simply unstoppable right now. His seven goals from five games included braces against Bolton and Charlton and at least one in every match. His usual poacher’s finishes were supplemented by a rising drive from outside the area against Charlton. August Priske (Birmingham City) - striker A throwback centre forward in many ways, Priske took time to adjust to Championship fo
ALT Chris Davies (Birmingham City) Always strong at St Andrew’s, Birmingham struggled on the road last season. Davies has addressed that by finding ways to go forward more quickly away from home. Their 12 points from five games included wins at West Brom and Lincoln. Tonda Eckert (Southampton) Eckert guided his side to an impressive 13 points from five unbeaten games, which included a local derby win over Portsmouth and a statement 3-2 victory at West Ham. Kim Hellberg (Middlesbrough) Hellberg’s free-scoring side were at their fluent best in October, scoring 14 goals in five unbeaten matches which brought them 13 points and top spot in the Championship. They showed they can win tight games, too, with a 1-0 win over Wolves. John Mousinho (Portsmouth) Mousinho guided his injury-hit side expertly through a difficult-looking fixture list in October, conceding just two goals in their four away games at Southampton, Norwich, Wolves and Burnley and collecting 11 points from six games.
