Southampton star James Bree has been handed a second chance at an October award

Southampton defender James Bree has received a nomination for the Championship Goal of the Month award for October. The nod comes shortly after he missed out on the Player of the Month honor, which was claimed by Middlesbrough striker Will Lankshear. Bree earned his nomination through a spectacular first-time strike in Southampton's 3-2 away victory against West Ham United.

Bree faces competition for the award from Portsmouth right-back Zak Swanson, Wrexham striker Kieffer Moore, and Middlesbrough's Lankshear. Saints Marching writer Kelan Sarson argues that the race will likely come down to a contest between Bree and Swanson. Voting for the monthly accolade remains open until November 16.
