LUFC Parkinson deserves the award

Simon Grayson will be a leading candidate for the League One Manager of the Month for August, do we want him to win it?

Usually there is a sudden dip in form, from the side that win the award.

So despite winning seven out of seven games in all competitions, let`s hope the award goes to Phil Parkinson at Charlton.

The Addicks have also won their first five league games, their only defeat was a Carling Cup defeat at Hereford.

It really does look like a two horse race for the award.

The other managers that could be in the hunt are Paul Ince`s MK Dons and Brentford`s Andy Scott whose sides are also undefeated so far in the league, they have drawn more games.

Huddersfield boss Lee Clark as also seen his side enjoy a good start to the season, they are above both MK Dons and Brentford but have lost one game.

So despite a great start and Grayson being a worthy winner of the award let`s hope the panel overlook his achievement`s, in the same way they did in March and April last season.

Grayson will be happy picking up the Manager of the year award at the end of the season.
