Carson, Ellison, Murphy, Tubbs nominated for League Two Player of the Month

The four nominees for the first League Two Player of the Month award of 2014-15 have been revealed as Trevor Carson, Kevin Ellison, Peter Murphy and Matt Tubbs.

Cheltenham Town keeper Carson kept three clean sheets in five games for the unbeaten Robins in August, including a late stop that preserved a 1-0 win at Bury on the opening day and an assist for the winning goal against Accrington Stanley a week later.

Four goals in five games sees Morecambe's veteran forward Ellison nominated. Two of the 35-year-old's strikes were free kicks and his performances helped the Shrimps to four wins in a row to start the season.

Summer signing Murphy has netted three times from midfield for Wycombe Wanderers, helping the Chairboys collect 10 points from their opening five games to lie fifth.

Lastly, AFC Wimbledon striker Tubbs also has four goals like Ellison, netting in all but one of the Dons' five games.

The winner will be announced on Friday.
