The league's nomination read: "Thrills, spills, goals and points. Jones inspired his side to the lot in October.

"Fifteen points from six games, his side scored at least twice in each of their fixtures and proved themselves to be the division’s entertainers."

Jones is up against Southend's Chris Powell, Coventry's Mark Robins plus Sunderland's Jack Ross, with the winners announced on Friday, November 9.

The juding panel comprises former Ipswich Town manager George Burley, Sky Sports’ EFL League expert Don Goodman; EFL Marketing Director Drew Barrand, League Managers’ Association Director Olaf Dixon and Sky Bet EFL Trader Mikey Mumford.
