DAVID Hopkin has been shortlisted for the League One manager of the month prize for December.

The Bantams boss steered his side off the bottom with wins over Walsall, Scunthorpe and Rochdale.

They also drew 3-3 at relegation rivals Plymouth and suffered just one defeat against Sunderland.

Hopkin is up against Luton's Nathan Jones, new Bristol Rovers manager Graham Coughlan and Barnsley's Daniel Stendel - who he faces at Oakwell this weekend.
