Albion striker Sam Baldock has been shortlisted for a Championship prize ahead of his return to former club Bristol City with the Seagulls on Saturday.

Baldock is a contender for the PFA Fans' Player of the Month for October.

He is on the list - produced by a panel of experts - with Newcastle's Dwight Gayle, Sheffield Wednesday's Gary Hooper, Massimo Luongo of QPR, Paul Gallagher from Preston and Cardiff's Peter Whittingham.

Baldock caught the eye of a panel including Paul Merson, Ian Holloway and Peter Beagrie with his perky performances and goals in successive games against Sheffield Wednesday, Preston and Wolves.

Voting takes place tomorrow via the Sky Sports website.
