Vokes lands a place in the team of the week

Dean Marney was the first Claret to win a place. That was two weeks ago when he was included after he drove in his first goal of the season and played a pivotal role in the Clarets' 3-1 success against Millwall.

I wonder if any of our players would make this week's team. To be honest I think there should be more than one but at least we have Sam in there. He's one of four Championship players named.

The other three are goalkeeper Jack Butland who was making his debut for Leeds having signed on loan from Stoke, Wigan midfielder James McArthur and Lee Novak of Birmingham who, like Vokes, netted twice for his team.

Sam's inclusion came after he scored twice as we ended Forest's 14-match unbeaten run according to the league.

He's been named in the following team: Jack Butland (Leeds), Harry Maguire (Sheffield Utd), Carl McHugh (Bradford), Zander Diamond (Northampton), James McArthur (Wigan), Jon Taylor (Shrewsbury), Michael Jacobs (Wolves), Dave Syers (Scunthorpe), Sam Vokes (Burnley), Matt Tubbs (Crawley), Lee Novak (Birmingham).

Wycombe won 1-0 against Chesterfield and that led to Gareth Ainsworth being named the Football League manager of the week.
