Middlesbrough's five-game unbeaten run in October which took them to the top of the Championship has been recognised with two awards.

Head coach Kim Hellberg has been named the division's manager of the month while striker Will Lankshear has scooped the player accolade.

Boro took 13 points from a possible 15 last month, including notable victories over promotion rivals Wolves and Stoke.

Lankshear enjoyed a prolific October, scoring seven goals in five games with doubles against Bolton and Charlton to take his tally to 15 goals in all competitions since joining from Tottenham for an initial fee of £10m in July.

Birmingham's Chris Davies, Tonda Eckert of Southampton and Portsmouth boss John Mousinho were also nominated for the manager of the month award.
