Ipswich stars recognised in October's goal and player of the month nominations
It's been a good month for individual recognition at Portman Road, with several Ipswich players and one of the Tractor Girls shortlisted for various October awards.
The Ipswich Star asks which Blues player was named player of the month for October, highlighting the club's own monthly award (Ipswich Star). Meanwhile ITFC.co.uk confirms that Abdoul has been nominated for the club's goal of the month award (ITFC.co.uk), with the official site also putting out the call for supporters to vote for their favourite strike from October (ITFC.co.uk).
On the bigger stage, the East Anglian Daily Times reports that Ouattara is in contention for the Premier League's official Goal of the Month award, detailing who he's up against and how fans can cast their vote (East Anglian Daily Times). It's a nice bit of exposure for the club nationally, with Ipswich supporters now able to help send one of their own top the Premier League's monthly shortlist.
There's good news from the women's side too, as the Ipswich Star reports a Tractor Girls player has been nominated for the WSL 2 player of the month award for October (Ipswich Star), a reminder that the women's team are making their own mark this season alongside the men's first team.
Taken together, these stories show a club with plenty to shout about away from results alone - from individual brilliance in front of goal to recognition across both the men's and women's set-ups. Fans will want to get behind the voting for Abdoul and Ouattara's goal of the month nominations, while also cheering on the Tractor Girls' nominee as attention turns to their trip to face Charlton Athletic Women [B] and the men's side prepare to host AFC Bournemouth [A].
