Town striker Daryl Murphy is amongst the nominees for the Championship's December Player of the Month award.

The 31-year-old is up against Bournemouth’s Harry Arter, a one-time Town trialist, Norwich’s Bradley Johnson and Bolton keeper Andy Lonergan.

Murphy scored six goals in five games during December to take his total for the season to 17. The winner is announced on Friday.

Earlier in the season, Blues left-back Tyrone Mings was named the Player of the Month for September.

carsey added 08:56 - Jan 8 For those who haven't seen this have a look - it really cheered me up on a wet Thursday morning and reminded me how lucky we are to have Murphy this season. Also worth noting that McGoldrick is involved in a lot of the goals and will hopefully get back to his best in the second half of the season. http://t.co/0RBo043NDG I still hope Murphy doesn't win the player of the month just in case the curse is real!!!!!!!

wkj added 08:59 - Jan 8 @Carsey Did you notice looking at the videos; most of Murphy's goals have been charging the box; It makes me so happy we shook the mentality of playing to the corners and making crosses or trying to neak in. I still am lost for words trying to comtemplate that this is the same Daryl Murphy we have had in the past!

carsey added 09:02 - Jan 8 wkj - I agree he seems to have benefited from whatever TC has been telling him and as soon as he gets a sight of goal he shoots. Long may it last.

mickeyjb added 09:40 - Jan 8 We better not wear our away kit then if we want him to keep scoring. His transformation has been unbelievable. a lot of those goals would have made it to goal of the month awards! Keep it up murph!

SamWhiteUK added 12:37 - Jan 8 Watching that video make me realise just HOW good he's been this year. Tap-ins, screamers, you can always count on him to be there and you can practically SEE the confidence flowing through him. His goal at Cardiff away - we haven't had a player with the confidence to shoot from there for at least the past two-three seasons (with the exception of maybe Leadbitter, but we all know where that ball would have ended up had HE hit it)

always_blue81 added 12:56 - Jan 8 When you think what other Championship strikers have moved for - what is he worth today? I hope we don't find out. All of his goals in 2014 on this one - and some absolute belters!

spanishblue added 13:12 - Jan 8 Been reading Johnsons stats,he's very good at giving fouls away, playing the long ball, misplacing passes and he's good at heading the ball,so whys he in there why not little Tabby surely he deserves a bit of credit rather than a big footed thug with Canary sized brain, bit strong Bradley but you are a canary after all

Warkys_Tash added 23:18 - Jan 8 What a video of delight, makes us all realise how Class & prolific Murph is this season. Let's hope he gets another 17 in the 2 nod half of the season!
