R’S gaffer Harry Redknapp and skipper Clint Hill have been shortlisted for the monthly gongs in the SkyBet Championship.





Redknapp’s men have started the new campaign at a blistering pace, winning four of their opening five matches and drawing the other – an unbeaten run that sees them sitting pretty in second place at the end of August.





Hill has played an integral role in the R’s impressive start, providing the assist for Andy Johnson’s goal at Bolton Wanderers, before notching the only goal of the game against Leeds United prior to the international break.





The other nominees in the Manager of the Month category are Burnley gaffer Sean Dyche, Eddie Howe of newly-promoted Blackpool and Blackpool boss Paul Ince.





Hill is joined in the Player of the Month category by freescoring Watford front-man Troy Deeney, Nottingham Forest midfielder Andy Reid and Huddersfield goal-ace James Vaughan.





The judging panel comprises Sky Sports Football League expert Don Goodman, Football League Head of Communications John Nagle, League Managers’ Association Director Olaf Dixon, and Sky Bet Head of Football Paul Wiggins.





The winners will be announced tomorrow (Friday).
