McKenna Nominated For Manager of the Month
Thursday, 15th Jan 2026 09:20

Town boss Kieran McKenna has been nominated for the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month Award for December.

The Blues won four, drew two and lost one during the month with victories home and away against leaders Coventry among the successes.

No club in the division picked up more points, although Watford also recorded 14 but with an inferior goal difference.

McKenna is up against the Hornets’ Javi Gracia, Sergej Jakirovic of Hull City and Swansea’s Vitor Matos for the gong.

The Blues manager has already won the award once this season, in September, having previously picked it up in September 2023 and March 2024, as well as the League One equivalent twice, in March and April 2023.

This month’s winner will be announced on Friday having been chosen by a judging panel comprising of former Barnsley boss Danny Wilson, Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies.

StowTractor added 10:59 - Jan 15 Stuff the GD & give it to the Watford manager. They have won 4 in a row (yes I know 2 of those were in January) & we could do with the curse hitting them rather than us.

mow_the_lawn added 10:59 - Jan 15 Watford are now doing pretty well and a good in-form team and had a good points return in December but didn’t play a current top 6 team, dropped points to Sheff Wednesday and only narrowly beat 22nd placed Norwich twice.

bobble, first division as in league one? I hope he never has to find out while he's here! Seriously I think I know what you mean. If so, let's hope we get the chance to find out next season. If not, in my book it would result in a failure, and it wouldn't be right to lay that failure at one door only, but failures almost always come with consequences. Hoping we don't have to worry about such things.
