Taylor has been recognised after guiding the Saddlers to 12 points from a possible 18 during an unbeaten October, and is one of four up for the gong.

Ex-Walsall chief Darrell Clarke – now of Port Vale – is also in the running, along with Swindon Town's Ben Garner and Exeter City's Matt Taylor.

The judging panel comprises former Barnsley chief Danny Wilson, Sky Sports pundit and ex-Saddler Don Goodman, EFL communications director Mark Rowan and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies.

The winner will be announced on Friday.
