Town striker Daryl Murphy has been named November's Sky Bet Championship PFA Fans' Player of the Month.
Murphy is currently the joint-second top scorer in the division on 11 goals along with Blackburn’s Rudy Gestede, one behind Nottingham Forest’s Britt Assombalonga.
The 31-year-old scored four times in Town’s five games during November and also won his 14th full Republic of Ireland cap in the 4-1 friendly victory over the USA.
Town boss McCarthy is likely to be amongst the nominees for the November Championship Manager of the Month award when they are announced on Thursday morning.
The Blues picked up 13 points from 15 during the month, however, Brentford boss Mark Warburton looks to be the favourite to carry off the award - which McCarthy won in September - his side having picked up a maximum 15. The winner is announced on Friday morning.
