Marlon Pack has been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month award for September.
The summer signing has impressed since returning to his hometown club and missed just a single minute of league football.
During September, he helped the Blues enjoy successive wins over Peterborough and Burton, which was followed by a draw with Plymouth.
Pack will have to fight off competition from Lincoln striker Jack Diamond, Wycombe winger Anis Mehmeti and Plymouth forward Morgan Whittaker.
The winner will be announced on Friday morning and is decided by a judging panel that includes Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman, EFL chief executive Trevor Birtch and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies.
