Morecambe talisman Cole Stockton began 2022 like he finished 2021 - in great goalscoring form.

Wigan and Wycombe were on the receiving end of a Stockton goal, while he also claimed an assist at Accrington.

The Scottish forward continued his good form into January, even though Sunderland's promotion charge stuttered.

Stewart began the New Year with two goals in the 3-3 draw at Wycombe, before netting in the surprise 3-1 defeat to Lincoln. He also showed he can make goals too, creating the only one of the game in the narrow win over Portsmouth..

Records were sent tumbling at Oxford United during January as a period of good form was highlighted by an outstanding individual performance from Cameron Brannagan.

Facing Gillingham away from home, the U's emerged rampant 7-2 victors, with Brannagan becoming the Oxford player for over a decade to net four goals in a game.

Incredibly, all four of Brannagan's efforts came from the penalty spot, a feat that never been achieved before in the Football League.


6. Daniel Jebbison (Burton Albion)

Daniel Jebbison is a previous winner of the PFA Vertu Motors League One Fans' Player of the Month, and he showed why with another series of cracking displays for Burton.

Jebbison claimed goals in half the matches he played in January with strikes against Crewe, Cheltenham and Wimbledon.

Unfortunately, Jebbison's form for Burton caught the eye of his parent club Sheffield United, who have now taken him back to Bramall Lane for the second half of the season.
