Winners of the League 2 Player and Manager of the Month Announced

The winners of the League player and manager of the month awards were announced on Sky News earlier this morning. The results were

Antoni Sarcevic, the Fleetwood Town midfielder, has been named League 2 Player of the Month for September.

Graham Alexander, Fleetwood Town manager,  said:-

Antoni’s application and work-rate in training and in games is testament to him getting the award. We’re really chuffed for him.  The three goals he has scored have been of the highest quality that you’ll see at any level, and even before he found the goal trail we could see the attacking threat he was showing.

Former Exeter City player and now Sky Bet Football League pundit Don Goodman said:-

Antoni started the month out injured, and has ended it as Sky Bet Player of the Month. He’s played a huge part in guiding Fleetwood to three wins from four. With three well taken goals, including two in the 4-1 win over Torquay, we should expect plenty more from this 21-year-old.

The League 2 Manager of the Month award goes to Keith Hill, Rochdale boss.

Alan Curbishley, who chairs the Sky Bet Manager of the Month judging panel, said:-

Keith Hill fully deserves this award for his side’s 100 per cent record in September. He is clearly enjoying his return to Spotland with a great start to the new campaign in Sky Bet League 2.

Sky Bet Head of Football Paul Wiggins said:-

They say you should never go back but Keith Hill’s decision to return to Spotland looks to be benefiting all parties as Rochdale have made excellent progress in the month of September.

The four league wins have all been narrow one-goal victories but Rochdale are showing the resolve needed to challenge all season.
