Town boss Kieran McKenna and keeper Christian Walton have been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Manager and Player of the Month Awards for March.

The Blues won all four of their games during the month without conceding a goal. Overall, Town have been victorious in their last seven games, have kept clean sheets in eight and have now gone 776 minutes without shipping a goal.

McKenna is yet to win a Manager of the Month gong but was previously nominated in March, August and October last year.

The other nominees are Cheltenham’s Wade Elliott, Mark Jackson of the MK Dons and Plymouth boss Steven Schumacher.

Walton, who hasn’t previously been nominated for the award won by Conor Chaplin in December, is up against Cheltenhams’s Alfie May, Jay Stansfield from Exeter and Peterborough’s Joe Ward.

The judging panel for the Sky Bet Player of the Month comprises Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman, EFL chief executive Trevor Birch and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies. The winners will be announced on Friday.

SpiritOfJohn added 11:23 - Apr 5 Good to see Walton nominated. The player awards usually go to strikers, but Walton will win if there is any justice. Not the busiest keeper in the league, but definitely one of the best.

Linkboy13 added 09:01 - Apr 6 About a month ago there were some numpties on here who were calling for Walton to be dropped probably because he doesn't score enough goals. Fortunately we haven't got a numpty for a manager.
