The November nominations for the Sky Bet Championship Player of the Month Award are:
Tom Ince (Derby County) – striker
Four goals in three games for the 24-year-old who is tapping into a rich vein of form. Happiest when he is floating across the front line and attacking defenders at pace, he scored twice in each of the wins over Wolves and Rotherham.
Tomasz Kuszczak (Birmingham City) – goalkeeper
Brilliant in all three games in a month in which Birmingham picked up seven points largely because of his agility and reflexes. Pulled off a remarkable series of saves in the win over Bristol City despite breaking his nose in the game.
Henri Lansbury (Nottingham Forest) – midfielder
Given freer rein to go forward this season, he is taking full advantage of his more advanced position. An assured and consistent driving force for Forest, he excelled in the 5-2 win at Barnsley with the first hat-trick of his career.
Steve Sidwell (Brighton & Hove Albion) – midfielder
A wonder goal from two yards inside his own half in the 2-0 win at Bristol City was the obvious highlight of his month, but it was his steadying influence in the Albion midfield which had the biggest impact as they consolidated second place.
Winners will be announced on Friday 9th November 2016.
