SWINDON Town’s Mark Cooper has been nominated for the League One manager of the month award for November.

Cooper’s Robins scored 11 goals in five games over the course of the month, picking up 10 points in the process, as victories over Port Vale, Colchester and Carlisle helped Town into seventh place in the league table.

The Swindon boss is up against stiff competition from Uwe Rosler of Brentford, Simon Grayson of Preston and Rotherham’s Steve Evans for the prize.

Rosler’s Bees have taken 13 points out of a possible 15, Rotherham have won three matches by a three-goal margin during their unbeaten month and Preston have forced themselves into automatic promotion contention.

The winner of the gong will be decided by a voting panel consisting of former Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley, Sky Sports pundit Don Goodman, Football League chief operating officer Andy Williamson; League Managers’ Association director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet head of football Paul Wiggins.
