Derby County boss Billy Davies has been named as the Championship's manager of the month for November.
The Rams enjoyed a superb sequence of form during the month, winning all six of their league games.

Despite losing at West Brom in their first game in December, the run has lifted them to within three points of Championship leaders Birmingham.

The other contenders for the award were Stoke's Tony Pulis, George Burley of Southampton and Preston's Paul Simpson.
