Last updated : 08 December 2011 By Alastair Limb (tykesmad)

Barnsley manager Keith Hill has been nominated for the npower Championship Manager of the Month award for November.

The 42-year-old joined the club from Rochdale in June and has led the Reds to five wins out of their last six and taken them to ninth place in the Championship with 30 points.

In November, the Reds won in three Yorkshire derbies, at home to Hull City and Doncaster Rovers, 2-1 and 2-0 respectively and 2-1 away to high-flying Leeds United. Sandwiched between the derby success was a 2-0 defeat to Brighton.

The fine form has continued into December, with two wins in four days, a 4-3 win at Peterborough on Saturday and a 2-1 win at home to Crystal Palace on Tuesday night.

Good luck Keith!
