Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month: September nominations
4 October 2022 https://www.efl.com/news/2022/october/sky-bet-league-two-player-of-the-month-september-nominations The September nominations for the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month Award are: Andy Cook (Bradford City) - striker With new signing Vadaine Oliver competing for his place, Cook returned from the summer looking lighter, fitter and sharper. He already possessed a poacher’s instincts, evident in his five goals in four games, including three towering headers. Sam Hoskins (Northampton Town) - wide midfielder Hoskins’ season for the ages continued into September with a further four goals in four games, which included a lovely strike against Stockport. He was a constant threat to opposition defences, taking shots at every opportunity. Dan Happe (Leyton Orient) - central defender The leader of an Orient rearguard which kept four clean sheets in four games to stay top. Strong in the air, savvy in his one-on-defending and with good feet, he made outstanding contributions against Tranmere and Rochdale. George Lapslie (Mansfield Town) - attacking midfielder Playing behind Lucas Akins, Lapslie has found a role which suits his love of taking on defenders with the ball to create havoc. In five September games, he scored two goals, won two penalties for his side and added an assist. ----------------------- Mansfield Town's George Lapslie missed out on player of the month award to this former Stags player chad.co.uk, Friday, 7th October 2022 George Lapslie’s fine displays for Stags during September has not been enough to see him crowned League Two’s best player. Lapslie shone through the month, scoring twice, winning two penalties and adding an assist. But he was pipped to September’s POM honour by former Mansfield man Andy Cook, who bagged five goals in the month. https://www.chad.co.uk/sport/football/mansfield-towns-george-lapslie-missed-out-on-player-of-the-month-award-to-this-former-stags-player-3870828 Cook said: “It’s an honour to take the award after what was a really good month for myself and us as a club on the field. “Of course, it is always a joy to get on the scoresheet, and it’s great to have kept up my decent run of form through the early parts of the season, but the goals also meant a lot in getting us some important results, which is the most important thing. “To have been able to celebrate five goals in three games with our supporters both home and away was really special, and has helped us climb the table quite nicely over the past four weeks or so. “It has really given me an appetite for more, and I just want to keep scoring goals and helping the team as we work towards our aims for the season.” The judging panel for the Sky Bet Player of the Month comprises Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman; EFL Chief Executive Trevor Birch and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies. ------------------- |
