March Team of the Month

GK: DAVID RAYA (ARSENAL) - Raya made some important saves from both games during March including that save he made against Man United to deny Bruno Fernandes. He conceded just one goal throughout the entire month and his key saves kept Arsenal in second place.

RB: OLA AINA (NOTTINGHAM FOREST) - Aina has been one of Forest's top performers this season and he carried on his fine form in March. He was solid in both games during March as Forest kept up their push for Champions League and he has in some peoples eyes been the best right back this season.

CB: NIKOLA MILENKOVIC (NOTTINGHAM FOREST) - Milenkovic for me has been the signing of the season so far as he's been the main reason why Forest have been much improved defensively this season. He kept up in fine season in March as he netted in Forest's win at Ipswich, and put in an excellent defensive display against Man City.

CB: JEAN PAUL VAN HECKE (BRIGHTON) - Van Hecke put in solid performances in both games during March as Brighton kept up their hunt for European football. He netted in the Seagulls' win over Fulham where his all round defensive display was good, and he put in another one against Man City.

LB: JURRIEN TIMBER (ARSENAL) - Timber put in all-round good performances in both games during March as Arsenal conceded just one goal and kept themselves in second place. He did his job brilliantly defensively in making key interventions, and he offered a threat whenever he went forward.

CDM: DECLAN RICE (ARSENAL) - Rice showed that he's more than a defensive midfield player during March by pushing further up the pitch and helping out the attacking players. He did this in both games and especially in the one against Man United where he scored the equaliser. I think he;s beginning to turn into a box-to-box midfielder.

CM: ELLIOT ANDERSON (NOTTINGHAM FOREST) - Anderson put in top performances in both games during March and he's done that all season. He set up Anthony Elanga's first goal in the win over Ipswich and worked his socks off in the midfield against Man City. He's been one of the signings of the season.

CM: BRUNO FERNANDES (MAN UNITED) - Fernandes was undoubtedly the best player during March as he registered 2 goals and 2 assists across both games. His contributions were key in United getting points from both games and who knows where they would be without him.

RW: MORGAN GIBBS-WHITE (NOTTINGHAM FOREST) - Gibbs-White registered 2 assists during March picking up one from each game. He's been the player that has knitted everything together for Forest this season and they'll be lucky to keep hold of him this summer.

LW: JEAN-RICNER BELLEGARDE (WOLVES) - Bellegarde registered 3 assists during March as Wolves increased the distance further between themselves and the relegation zone. If he can keep up his form in March for the rest of the season, he could play a key role for Wolves in their bid to end the season strongly and secure their survival.

ST: ANTHONY ELANGA (NOTTINGHAM FOREST) - Picking this team of the month was hard because only two games were played and very few strikers scored many goals. That led me to putting Elanga up front as he can play in this position, and he played in both games for Forest. He netted twice in Forest's win over Ipswich and caused Man City all kinds of problems down the left hand side in the other game.
