Town top scorer Conor Chaplin has been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month award for December.

Chaplin, who has netted 13 goals overall in 2022/23, grabbed four in December as well as an assist.

Also nominated are Bolton Wanderers striker Dion Charles, Sheffield Wednesday keeper Cameron Dawson and Plymouth Argyle central defender Dan Scarr.

If he wins, Chaplin will become the first Town player to have won the official League One monthly award.

The judging panel is made up of Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman, EFL chief executive Trevor Birch and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies. The winner will be announced on Friday.

Chaplin, 25, has also been nominated for the December League One PFA Vertu Motors Fans' Player of the Month.

itsonlyme added 10:32 - Jan 11 He should also be in the league one team of the year at the end of the season! Could easily be our supporters player of the year!

Linkboy13 added 11:03 - Jan 11 Yes he's added consistency to his game this season. Whether he can do it in the championship is a different matter but he is improving all the time under McKenna. The gap between league one and championship is massive, Whittaker has been outstanding for Plymouth but can't get anywhere near the Swansea first team. Hirst also struggled in the championship. As Terry Butcher said there's probably only 2 or 3 players at the club who might be championship standard. It's down to owners on how much money they are prepared to invest if we get promoted but it could require up to 20 million. A lot of fans are not going to be happy when their favourites get moved on next season.

Barty added 12:52 - Jan 11 Spot on Gazelle - anybody watching that would assume Rotherham were the league 1 team

BlueRuin69 added 13:21 - Jan 11 Hmmm…it sure the gap is massive but of course there is a gap. Didn't Chaplin score plenty of goals for Barnsley who finished in the playoffs?

ChrisFelix added 13:57 - Jan 11 Deserves the award, but won't get it because he plays for Ipswich. This together with the manager award will go to Plymouth. But somehow I think that will be the end of Plymouths awards this season

Marinersnose added 17:23 - Jan 11 Linkboy spot on. He's a great player at this level but didn't get a starting role in the successful Barnsley side. A friend of mine played in that side and said he would be a good signing for a league one team and he's spot on. I think he's excellent in and around the box but does lack strength in possession and goes missing too much. That said he's one of our top performers in the final third this season.New additions will add competition which is needed

BlueRuin69 added 17:49 - Jan 11 Everything u just said is untrue marinasnose. Chaplin played 44 games scoring 11 goals and then 34 times scoring 4. Both in championship so was a constant in the side for two seasons. Helps to ascertain facts before making comments 😏

Bazza8564 added 20:37 - Jan 11 Love Chappers and half hope he wins but football is about team success so ill always look at this with pinch of salt. I remember Robson winning the old manager of the month awards back in the day, CURSE !!

Marinersnose added 22:27 - Jan 11 Blueruin he was a backup player fact. That's why he was moved on

BlueRuin69 added 06:45 - Jan 12 78 games in two seasons is not a back up player, learn to accept when you've made a mistake otherwise you just look a fool.

Linkboy13 added 09:36 - Jan 12 Yes Chaplin was a regular in the Barnsley team but at the time we signed him he was in and out of the team and commented on the poor treatment he got from the club.

BlueRuin69 added 14:27 - Jan 12 Was that before or after they then got relegated 😎

Linkboy13 added 15:57 - Jan 12 Reading Barnsley's notes it says Chaplin's second season was less successful scoring just 4 times and rarely completing 90 minutes under manager Valerian Ismael. In my opinion he's a much improved player under McKenna and im just stating the facts that were published in the Barnsley notes. Sometimes when fans get really attached to a player they cannot do a thing wrong in their eyes and like to twist things to back their argument. Personally i don't have a favourite player but always give credit when it's due and Chaplin in my opinion has become one of our crucial players this season.
