    But Junior has been injured? Perhaps he is being nominated for this very reason. Being out the team makes us that much better.

    (before anyone jumps to his defence, I like Bruce as a player and think he is a capable member of the squad).

    It was. If you don't believe me have a look for yourself. Sooner or later they will change it to say "Manager" though. The work experience person will come in and spot the error.

    Abel Hernández has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship January Player of the Month Award.

    The Uruguayan’s goals have been instrumental in helping the Tigers pick up maximum points from their four league fixtures in the opening month of 2016. Now fully adjusted to the physicality of life in the Championship, the striker was the focal point of a dominant Tigers attack throughout January as they went top of the Championship table. His six goals in four games included a thrilling hat-trick in the 6-0 romp against Charlton Athletic.

    Also in the running for the Player of the Month award are:

    Gary Hooper (Sheffield Wednesday) – Striker
    Signed on a permanent deal in January, he is proving to be the prolific goalscorer that Wednesday have lacked. Now match sharp to add to his knack of being in the right place, he scored five of his team’s seven goals in the month.

    Maikel Kieftenbeld (Birmingham City) – Midfielder
    Fully adjusted to life in the Championship following his summer move, the Dutchman offers a cultured presence in the Birmingham midfield. Has an eye for a goal, too, with three in the month, including superb volleys against Derby County and Ipswich Town.

    Ben Mee (Burnley) – Defender
    A full-back by trade, the 26-year-old has moved seamlessly into central defence with Burnley conceding just two goals in four January games. Strong in the air and brave in the tackle, he was outstanding in the 4-1 win over Derby County.

    THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 5 2016

    Steve Bruce has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month Award for January.

    It was a perfect month for Bruce as he steered the Tigers to top spot in the Championship with 11 goals and 12 points from four games. As important as two comfortable home wins against Cardiff City and Charlton Athletic were the gritty wins he inspired away at QPR and Fulham. It is the third time that Bruce has been nominated for the award this season having missed out to Aitor Karanka and Mick McCarthy in September and November respectively earlier in the campaign.

    Also in the running for the Manager of the Month award are:

    Sean Dyche (Burnley)
    Earned due reward for holding his nerve during a tricky late autumn to guide his side through a free-flowing month. Dyche’s men re-ignited their promotion charge with 10 points and 12 goals from four games as they went third.

    Dougie Freedman (Nottingham Forest)
    Ignored injuries to key players to lead Forest calmly through a second successive unbeaten month as they climbed the Championship table. A haul of nine points from five games included a thrilling victory away at leaders Middlesbrough.

    Gary Rowett (Birmingham City)
    The patient football he preaches made light work of a difficult-looking January fixture list, garnering 11 points from five games. Successive 3-0 victories over promotion rivals Derby County and Ipswich Town propelled his side into the Play-Off places.

    THE WINNER WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY 5 FEBRUARY 2016

    I thought I might as well correct the thread title and add the PotM details as well. <ok>

    You must have altered it around the same time as the OWS altered it.

    Hopefully Hernandez knows what he's won.
