Veteran goalkeeper Paul Robinson up for monthly Championship award

Veteran Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson is one of four nominees for the February Championship Player of the Month.

Blackburn Rovers goalkeeper Paul Robinson is one of four nominees for the February Championship Player of the Month award.

Robinson returned to Blackburn's starting lineup after 13 months out with illness and injury and kept clean sheets in all three games that Rovers had last month.

He is joined by Derby County left-back Craig Forsyth, Ross McCormack of Leeds United and Burnley's Sam Vokes.

Forsyth helped Derby to three out of four clean sheets as well as scoring one of the Rams' three goals in the 3-3 draw at Birmingham.

McCormack continued his charge to be the division's top scorer with four goals in four games, including a hat-trick against Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield Town during the uncertain period when Brian McDermott was not in charge of the club.

Finally, Burnley's Vokes had perhaps his best month of the season with five goals in five games that included important braces against promotion rivals Queens Park Rangers and Nottingham Forest, as well as the winner against Lancashire neighbours Bolton Wanderers.

The winner will be announced on Friday morning.
