Jim Set for Gong? - Ipswich Town News
Jim Magilton is on the short-list for the Coca-Cola Manager of the Month award for October.
The Town boss is up against Bristol City's Gary Johnson, Watford's Aidy Boothroyd and Plymouth's Ian Holloway.
Despite Magilton's Town side being unbeaten throughout the month (three wins, two draws), Boothroyd looks odds on to pick up the gong, Watford having won four times with a fifth victory on the cards when they face Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park this evening.
The winner of the award will be announced on Sky Sports News on Thursday at 12.20pm.
