OXFORD United's terrific February has been recognised with nominations for Sky Bet League One manager and player of the month awards.

Despite a gruelling month which saw them play nine times in all, the U's collected 16 points from eight league games.

It has seen Karl Robinson short-listed for the fourth time this season.

The United head coach, who has not won a monthly award since he was at Milton Keynes Dons, is up against Joey Barton (Fleetwood Town), Kenny Jackett (Portsmouth) and Mark Robins (Coventry City).

The U's also have a fourth nomination of the season in the player category.

Matty Taylor, who was in the running for the November prize, has again been recognised after smashing seven goals in six games.

The striker is taking on Portsmouth defender Christian Burgess, MK Dons striker Rhys Healey and Rotherham United front man Freddie Ladapo.
