Boss beaten to award

Last updated : 31 August 2006 By Rick Lamb
Cardiff City's Dave Jones has been named Championship Manager of the Month for the Bluebirds' storming start to the season.

The Welsh side lead the table with 13 points from 15, three ahead of Norwich, Birmingham, Crystal Palace and Wolves. Nigel Worthington was expected to be in contention for the award particularly in light of the Canaries' rousing comeback to beat Luton and their 5-1 demolition of Barnsley.
