MONTHLY AWARDS RESULTS FOR SEPTEMBER

It's time to announce the winners of the monthly awards results. We asked you to pick the best player, best goal and your favourite match from the month of September and this is how you voted.

Winner

   

Did Well

   
Player of the Month
Marc Nygaard 23.08%
Lee Cook 21.54%
Danny Shittu 16.92%
Gareth Ainsworth 13.85%
Simon Royce 9.23%
Steve Lomas 6.15%
Mauro Milanese 4.62%
Marc Bicham 3.08%
Tommy Doherty 1.54%

Most of the votes cast were shared between two players but it was Marc Nygaard who just nicks top spot off Lee Cook by the tightest of margins. His two goals against Millwall and Leicester, and his performances in those games, were enough to edge out Cookie. Danny Shittu follows in third place with nearly 17%. Gareth Ainsworth did well to get up to fourth spot, just under 14% of you voted for Wild Thing.

Don't forget to look out for Skinner's Re-View next week when Simon will look back over Nygaard's performances throughout the month.

   
Goal of the Month

Things were much more cut and dried in the goal of the month vote and this time it is Lee Cook who ends up the winner. His strike against Luton took over 60% of the votes cast leaving Nygaard's goal against Leicester in second place and Danny Shittu's effort Southampton in third.

Lee Cook v Luton (H) 63.41%
Marc Nygaard v Leicester (A) 17.07%
Danny Shittu v Southampton (A) 12.20%
Marc Nygaard v Millwall (A) 4.88%
Paul Furlong v Leicester (A) 2.44%


Cook's
goal, as described in Simon's match report "Just before the hour mark Rangers took the lead thanks to Lee Cook. The former Watford man had looked a little tired for much of the game as he continued his comeback from injury. However, when Furlong won a freekick outside the box he was ready to take it. He stepped up and whipped a low curler past the wall and past the unsighted Beresford."

   
Match of the Month
Leicester 2 - 1 (A) 68.29%
Luton 1 - 0 (H) 17.07%
Southampton 1 - 1 (A) 7.32%
Millwall 1 - 1 (A) 4.88%
Leeds 0 - 1 (H) 2.44%

With only two wins in the month it's no surprise that the match of the month vote wasn't particularly close either and the away win over Leicester took the spoils by a country mile. That game was chosen by nearly 70% of you and the home win against Luton came second with around 17% of the vote.


So that's it for September, all this months winners will go forward to our end of season vote as usual and we'll be asking you to pick the best moments from October at the end of this month.
