Cambridge United striker Paul Mullin in contention for Sky Bet League Two award
Paul Mullin has been shortlisted for the Sky Bet League Two player-of-the-month award for a second time in a row.
The U's striker was in contention for the prize in September, but lost out to Salford City forward Ian Henderson.
However, the U's man has continued his fine early season form to also make the list of four contenders again.
In October, Mullin scored eight goals and that has put him in the running for the gong alongside Carlisle United's Jon Mellish, Newport County's Scott Twine and Crawley Town's Max Watters.
Full citations from Sky Bet:
Jon Mellish (Carlisle United midfielder) – Out of favour as a central defender, Mellish was tried in midfield in the reserves by Chris Beech in January and a box-to-box, all-action midfielder was born. His four goals in October were the result of uncanny instincts of when to burst forward.
Paul Mullin (Cambridge United striker) - A second straight nomination for a hard-working forward who had never scored more than nine goals in a season before. He managed eight in seven October games alone, even pirouetting for the third goal of his hat-trick against Port Vale.
Scott Twine (Newport County midfielder) – Three goals and two assists for the young midfielder do not tell the full story of his sharp-shooting impact for Newport. Happy to take on and unleash shots from all ranges and angles, his goals are lasered things of beauty.
Max Watters (Crawley Town striker) - Watters began October at non-league Maidstone having been released by Doncaster in the summer. His first five EFL games for Crawley brought a remarkable five goals for the 21-year-old who looks unflustered in front on goal.
