DC and Matty up for Monthly Awards

Be very surprised if they don't both get the award.

He was nominated in December but they gave it to the prat from Cambridge. I hope they give this one to the Oxford manager.

As for player of the month, give it to Roofe whether he's been nominated or not

With 8 goals in 7 games during March, Matty is surely going to be hard to beat, too.

Obviously the stats are clueless

they can both have the awards and we will finish second , then Matty being the top scorer in England will be called up for the Euros in France to partner Vardy, get the golden boot for that and score the winning goal in the final

then sell him to Chelski for £40million

job done

We won both. Let's see if this curse really does exist!

But as any graduate from Hogwarts knows the polarity is reversed because Matty's win countered the DC win and so from a mystical point of view it is as if neither won

BRISTOL Rovers have been recognised for their near-perfect record during March after manager Darrell Clarke and striker Matty Taylor landed an individual awards double.

Rovers Clarke boss, who oversaw a run of six wins from their seven games last month, fought off competition from Exeter City's Paul Tisdale, Hartlepool United's Craig Hignett and Yeovil Town's Darren Way to be named League Two manager of the month for March.

Unfortunate to miss out on the award to Cambridge United boss Sean Derry in December – despite winning four games and drawing one – Clarke said: "The first one you get as a Football League manager is quite special and it is a nice personal accolade to receive.

"But it is an award I accept on behalf of the players and the rest of my staff for all the hard work they put in to put together what was a fantastic run of results.

"Everybody and the club and the supporters all played their part and when you are in it all together any individual recognition you get has to be shared.

"The next target is to be standing here next month with the one for April because if that happens the likelihood is that we will also be able to celebrate promotion."

Taylor, meanwhile, scooped the player of the month award by going on to score another five goals after starting March with a bang by scoring a hat-trick in a 4-1 success over Hartlepool United.

"Matty has been exceptional all season," Clarke said. "He has been on a tremendous scoring run but what people don't see is how hard he is always working to improve his game.

"He is also one of the mentally strongest players I have worked with because he has to get through a shaky first two or three months when he first joined us last summer.

"A lot of people were telling me to "get rid of Taylor" because he would never score enough goals for us and he caught a lot of stick. He took that on the chin and has become a stronger person and a better player for it.

"He to believe in himself and his own ability and to have scored over 40 goals for us in two seasons is a tremendous return."

Taylor said: "I'm delighted to accept the award and I'm pleased to be scoring goals but I owe a lot of credit to the rest of the lads.

"I feel like I am going to score every time I go on the pitch at the moment and there is no better feeling for a striker."

We're doooooooooommed!
