NOTTINGHAM Forest boss Stuart Pearce has amazingly not been named Manager of the Month in the Championship today.
The Reds manager looked a dead cert for the accolade, after inspiring an almost perfect start to the new season at the City Ground.
But he has been beaten to it by Wolves manager Kenny Jackett.
Forest's Michail Antonio has also missed out on the Player of the Month award for August to Charlton Athletic's Igor Vetokele.
Pearce has led the Reds to the top of the Championship with an unbeaten start to the season, with four wins and a draw in their first five matches.
The bookies have also installed them as early favourites to win promotion into the Premier League.
They have played some great football, scoring 11 goals in the Championship, with Antonio scoring four goals, in all competitions, to be the joint top scorer with £5m man Britt Assombalonga.
They thumped Reading 4-0 at home and gained superb wins at Sheffield Wednesday and Bournemouth.
Despite that, Pearce has been pipped by Jackett, who has led Wolves to third, with wins against the three teams relegated from the Premier League in Norwich, Fulham and Cardiff.
