Graham Alexander
He was a clear winner in both. In the man of the match he polled 37.1% of the vote and that was almost double that of second place Chris McCann who polled 19.6%. Robbie Blake, the Championship's Player of the Month for March, came third with 8.4% of the vote.

The player ratings were somewhat different other than the winner. Again it was Alexander who had a rating of 8.60 out of 10. Goalkeeper Brian Jensen came second with a rating of 7.85 whilst central defender Steven Caldwell was third and his rating was 7.70 out of 10.

Alexander wins six points towards the player of the year. There are two points each for Jensen and McCann whilst both Blake and Caldwell win one point.

Blake is not fifteen points clear at the top of the table and Jensen has gone within two points of second place Paterson. Alexander meanwhile has moved up one place to eighth having moved above Stephen Jordan.

There is no vote currently in progress but the man of the match for the QPR game will start on Saturday evening and run until the end of Tuesday. The vote for Monday's match at Cardiff will run for the following three days, Wednesday to Friday.
