Nottingham Forest captain Henri Lansbury named Championship Player of the Month

Nottingham Forest skipper Henri Lansbury has been named February's Player of the Month in the Championship.

The 24-year-old scored five goals in six games last month as Forest picked up 16 points from a possible 18.

One of his strikes came towards the end of February in a 2-1 win over high-flying Bournemouth.

Lansbury's impressive form has coincided with manager Dougie Freedman giving him the captain's armband at the City Ground.

Forest continue their Championship campaign on Saturday when they host promotion-chasing Middlesbrough.
