The nominees for the Sky Bet League One Player of the Month and Manager of the Month awards for September have been announced.

Colin Doyle (Bradford City), Josh Morris (Scunthorpe United), Matt Taylor (Northampton Town) and James Vaughan (Bury) all have made the shortlist for player of the month.

Dave Flitcroft (Bury), Keith Hill (Rochdale), Rob Page (Northampton Town) and Chris Wilder (Sheffield United) will battle it out for the manager award.

Signed in the summer for £1 from Blackpool, Doyle has been a formidable presence in Bradford's unbeaten start to the season.

Scunthorpe have been challenging Bradford at the top of the league and Morris has starred for them, scoring five goals in as many games in September.

Now in a new central midfield role, veteran Taylor scored sumptuous free-kicks against MK Dons and Southend which accounted for two of his three goals during the month for Northampton.

Vaughan added a touch of class to the Bury attack with his running and link-up play. His finishing touch is still there, too, as proven by braces against Port Vale and MK Dons.

His boss Flitcroft has had a perfect month, sending his team out to win five out of five while Wilder has also gone unbeaten, taking 13 points from his five games. 

Rochdale's faith in Hill has been rewarded with three wins over the course of the month while Page has carried on where Wilder left off at Northampton last season. The Cobblers won four of their five games in September.
