Gary Caldwell, Jordan Archer come out on top in League One awards

Gary Caldwell of Wigan Athletic and Millwall keeper Jordan Archer are named February's Manager and Player of the Month in League One.

Wigan Athletic's Gary Caldwell and Millwall goalkeeper Jordan Archer have won February's League One Manager and Player of the Month awards.

Caldwell's Latics broke into the automatic promotion places with 10 points from a possible 12 last month, scoring seven and conceding only one.

"It's great to receive the award, the first one for me as a manager but really I don't see it as a personal award, more of a collective recognition of what we have achieved as a coaching team because everyone makes a vital contribution," Caldwell said.

"So I have to give thanks to my staff first and foremost, then to the players because it is them who have put in a great effort in what was a very tough month.

"The key thing now is for us to maintain our consistency as we move to the crucial last few weeks of the season, and not to lose our drive. We have to keep 100% focused on reaching our target of promotion."

Archer, meanwhile, helped the Lions concede just three goals in five February matches.

Archer said: "It's very pleasing to have my own form recognised in this way but the award is really for my teammates, the manager and the rest of the coaching staff for their great work in the past few weeks.

"We've been in brilliant form and as a goalkeeper it is always your main objective to keep clean sheets, but ultimately that is down to the players in front of you to play well as a unit, which we have been doing."

Millwall lie fifth in the table, six points behind Caldwell's Wigan in second.
