Brentford manager Lee Carsley has been named the Sky Bet Championship Manager of the Month for October.
Carlsey, who only replaced Marinus Dijkhuizen in the Griffin Park dugout in September, led his side to four successive victories after beginning the month with defeat at promotion hopefuls Derby County.
Following that loss to the Rams, Carlsey inspired Brentford to victories over Rotherham, Wolves, Charlton and local rivals Queens Park Rangers.
Carsley said: "I am very proud of the players. This is really a team reward rather than a personal one. Every decision I have taken in the past month has been made between myself and my assistant Paul Williams.
"If I could cut the award in half, he would get the other half. I see this as a reward for a great team effort over the month."
Scunthorpe United manager Mark Robins has been named the Sky Bet League 1 Manager of the Month for October.
Robins masterminded a near perfect month for the Irons, with only the 2-1 defeat at Gillingham preventing them from claiming six wins from six matches.
Such has been their form, Scunthorpe sit just four points off the play-off positions in 10th spot.
"It's pleasing to have won the award. It is testament to the players' performances and the support of the chairman, directors and staff. The fans have been excellent too," Robins said.
"We picked up a couple of decent results at the start of the month and have just carried on in the same vein. We're in a reasonable position now, where we can focus and really kick on. We have to carry on moving forward together."
Plymouth Argyle manager Derek Adams has been named the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for October.
The Scot has made a superb start to life managing in England and five wins from six matches in October has helped to consolidate his side's place at the top of the division.
"It's fantastic for the football club and it's a very nice award to get at this stage of the season. We have performed well in October and are happy with the progress we making," Adams said.
"I have a very good backroom staff in Craig Brewster and Paul Wotton, who I enjoy working with, as well as the rest of the staff at the football club and the players. We have a great team-spirit."
