In five fixtures in October, Town won three fixtures - including two against fellow strugglers Stoke City and Barnsley - and drew the other two, while sinking Hull 3-0 on home soil.

Despite that loss for the East Yorkshire outfit, the Tigers are the Championship's form side alongside Huddersfield.

Hull won three games in October, beating Yorkshire rivals Sheffield Wednesday and East Midlands duo Nottingham Forest and Derby County, and Grant McCann was vying with Cowley for the award.

Huddersfield midfielder Juninho Bacuna and Sheffield Wednesday defender Julian Borner were among the nominees for the SkyBet Championship player of the month for October but were pipped by Fulham's Aleksandar Mitrovic.
