Town boss Joe Royle has won the March Nationwide Manager of the Month award. The Blues are now seventh in the First Division and are in the running for a play-off place

March saw four wins and four draws from Royle's men including the memorable 2-0 win at Carrow Road and a 1-1 away draw with play-off rivals Wolves.

Fans, and Royle himself, will hope that the award will not prove to be the poison chalice that it has on so many previous occasions.
