Ellis Iandolo is nominated for League Two award along with former U's duo
COLCHESTER United left-back Ellis Iandolo has been nominated for the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month award for December.
The 27-year-old defender was impressive for the U's last month, when they embarked on a 11-match unbeaten run.
Colchester’s unbeaten month, in which they kept four clean sheets in five games, owed much to Iandolo’s ability to read balls into wide players, to intercept or cover and to spring forward in possession, taking the pressure off the defence.

Two former U's players have also been nominated for the Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month accolade, for December.
Salford City's Luke Garbutt helped his side keep five clean sheets in six games with his set piece delivery proving crucial, too, as he provided a goal and an assist in the month.

Sowunmi matched his influence on Bromley’s month to the size of his 6ft 6in frame, scoring headers in three successive matches while winning 50/50 challenges on the floor and making last-ditch tackles as his side only conceded five goals in six games.
The judging panel for the Sky Bet Player of the Month is made up of Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman, EFL chief executive Trevor Birch and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies.
The winner will be announced on Friday.
