It has been a clean sweep for Leeds so far this season in the PFA Fans’ Player of the Month Awards and with two of the four contenders for November there is every chance it will continue.
Robert Snodgrass and Jermaine Beckford were September’s and October’s winners respectively and Beckford is amongst the candidates again for November.
The talented striker scored another wonder goal in Saturday’s 3-0 win at Brighton that keeps Leeds well clear at the top of the table. Much has been made of the fact that Beckford didn’t sign a new contract in pre-season but there can be no doubting his commitment to the cause.
PFA Fans' Player of the Month: November contenders (alphabetical):
Jermaine Beckford - Leeds United
Neil Harris - Millwall
Patrick Kisnorbo - Leeds United
Glenn Murray - Brighton & Hove Albion
Patrick Kisnorbo
Strikers normally rule the roost in these monthly awards, but Beckford is being pushed all the way by his teammate and strapping defender Patrick Kisnorbo.
The Aussie centre half joined Simon Grayson’s side from Leicester in pre-season on a free transfer and the five-time capped stopper has quickly become a cult hero at Elland Road. He has been on target only once but has been part of a back line that has kept nine clean sheets as Grayson builds his promotion juggernaut on firm foundations.
Neil Harris
However, Beckford could also find his thunder stolen by Millwall’s Neil Harris. The veteran striker has snared two hat-tricks this term and was on target again in their recent FA Cup win over AFC Wimbledon.
That took his tally to the season for 11 and Lions’ supporters recognise the role he will have to play if Millwall are to reach the play-offs once again.
Glenn Murray
Glenn Murray is also in the frame and the Brighton striker is proving his worth to Seagulls supporters after his £300,000 transfer from Rochdale in January 2008.
With a ratio of 25 goals from 49 first team starts it is clear that Murray is a striker of real quality at League One level and Gus Poyet will be hoping his star striker will score the goals that lift Brighton into the top half of the table.
Four goals in three appearances in November have kick started both Murray’s and the Seagulls’ season and he is sure to attract a welter of votes.
