Brentford Manager Mark Warburton has earned special recognition less than a month after taking on the job.
And attacking midfield player Sam Saunders has also been recognised for his recent form.
Mark was named Brentford Manager on December 10, a few days after former boss Uwe Rösler left the role.
The Bees have won his first five games in charge, including away wins against fellow promotion challengers Preston North End and Peterborough United.
That extended Brentford’s run of form to 12 wins in the last 13 Sky Bet League One matches and took them to the top of the table.
As a result of his fine start as Brentford Manager, Mark Warburton has been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Manager of the Month award for December.
Mark has been nominated alongside Nigel Clough, of Sheffield United, Bristol City boss Steve Cotterill and Milton Keynes Dons Manager Karl Robinson.
In December, The Bees picked up four wins out of four in Sky Bet League One.
They won away to Preston and at home to Oldham Athletic, Swindon Town and MK Dons.
They were beaten by Carlisle United in an FA Cup with Budweiser Second Round match that does not count for the award nomination and started 2014 with a win at Peterborough on January 1, a game that will count for January’s award.
Sam Saunders played a key role in Brentford’s form in December and that earned him a nomination for Sky Bet League One Player of the Month award for December.
Sam came off the substitute’s bench to set up the winner for Jonathan Douglas against Oldham and then came on in the first half against Preston, scoring the third in a 3-0 win.
He started against Swindon, scoring one of Brentford’s goals in a 3-2 win, and then scored one and made won in the win against MK Dons.
He also set up a goal for Farid El Alagui in the cup defeat against Carlisle and continued where he left off in December by scoring one and making one in the New Year’s Day win at Peterborough.
Sam has been nominated alongside Jose Baxter, of Sheffield United, Walsall defender Paul Downing and Milton Keynes Dons midfield player Stephen Gleeson.
The winners of the awards will be announced on Friday, December 10.
