O'Toole has been nominated for the League Two player of the month award for January after helping Rovers to three wins in January, scoring 4 goals in the process against Crawley, Exeter (2) and Newport. The full list of nominees and the reasons for their nominations is as follows: Ryan Clarke (Oxford United) - goalkeeper Posted an unblemished record during January with clean sheets in each of his sideâs four games. Organised his defence superbly and pulled off a number of saves, none better than an acrobatic stop which earned a point at Exeter. John-Joe OâToole (Bristol Rovers) â midfielder Three goals in four games for the attack-minded midfielder who has been given licence to go forward. His all-action displays during January were highlighted by a 90th-minute volleyed winner against West Country rivals Exeter City. Jon Parkin (Fleetwood Town) - striker Having worked hard to shrug off a hamstring injury, the veteran has allied fitness to his natural strength. His clever hold-up play was supplemented with clinically-taken goals in wins over Accrington Stanley, Hartlepool United and Burton Albion. Gary Roberts (Chesterfield) â midfielder Rediscovered his early season form to inspire Chesterfieldâs charge to the top of the table. Offered a creative spark and scored in four separate games, including a delightfully-hooked lob in the 3-1 win at Northampton Town. The winner will be announced on Friday, February 7th. The judging panel comprises Sky Sports Football League expert Don Goodman; Football League Head of Communications John Nagle; League Managersâ Association Director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet Head of Football Paul Wiggins. http://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/article/jj-pom-nomination-1338372.aspx Good luck JJOT
