Shoot!’s League One Awards (December)

Manager of the Month: Chris Wilder (Sheffield United)

It’s been a perfect month for Wilder’s Blades as the former Northampton Town boss (Pictured) guided United to the top of the table.

With just one goal conceded in four matches, their defence has tightened up and they found the net nine times in December.

It could be argued that their run has been against sides struggling near the bottom of the table, but you can only beat what is in front of you and Sheffield United have done that – and comfortably, ensuring they entered 2017 in the box seat for promotion.
