Walsall striker Aaron Pressley has been nominated for the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month award for October.The 25-year-old enjoyed a productive month in front of goal for the Saddlers, netting five goals in five games, including a brace against Oldham Athletic, in what is now his best goals return in a single season.
Pressley has already beaten his best goals return in a single season and shows no signs of stopping. Dominant in the air, the Walsall target man’s five goals in five games rewarded his sharper timing and decision-making this campaign.
Kabongo Tshimanga (Barnet) - Whenever Barnet need a goal, Tshimanga is so often the man to provide it. Always looking to find a yard of space in which to get a clear sight of goal, the striker scored in five successive matches in October, ending with six goals and an assist.
Brendan Wiredu (Salford City) – Wiredu has been central to Salford’s rise to the top of League Two. From breaking up opposition attacks to driving forward with the ball, he sets the tone for his team, contributing an assist and a whipped 20-yard finish at Bristol Rovers.
Josh Woods (Accrington Stanley) - Three commanding headers and a 20-yard low finish were an impressive return from Woods’ 290 minutes on the pitch in October. A versatile bundle of energy hassling defenders, he is flourishing in a central role behind Accrington’s two strikers.
The winner will be announced on Friday, 13th November. The judging panel for the Sky Bet Player of the Month comprises Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman; EFL Chief Executive Trevor Birch and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies.
