Harrogate-born goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray, now at Charlton Athletic, is another contender along with Sunderland's former Huddersfield Town midfielder Alex Pritchard and Oxford United striker Matty Taylor.

Barlaser's manager Paul Warne is up against John Coleman, whose Accrington Stanley side became the first to beat his team since early September, Sunderland's Lee Johnson and Leam Richardson of Wigan Athletic.

The winners will be announced on Friday.
