Duo Miss Out on Awards - Ipswich Town News

Town duo Mick McCarthy and Ryan Fraser have missed out on being named Sky Bet’s Manager and Player of the Month for August.

McCarthy and Fraser were nominated in their respective categories, however, Brighton pair Chris Hughton and Kazenga LuaLua carried off the gongs.

Hughton’s Seagulls beat the Blues 3-2 at Portman Road on Saturday to replace them at the top of the table with LuaLua - who has scored four goals already this season - netting the first and creating the third.
