Sky Bet League Two: Nominees for January Player of the Month and Manager of the Month


It's another manager/player double nomination for Bury, while six other clubs are represented in both categories.

Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month nominees

A solid month for Crewe sees David Artell nominated for the award. They have moved up to mid-table with ten points gained from five games. The highlight of their month being a 1-0 win over promotion hopefuls MK Dons.

It'll come as no surprise to see Lincoln's Danny Cowley nominated once again. The Imps earned nine points during an unbeaten five games, keeping them at the top-end of the division. They are in a strong position for promotion and they have done well consistently throughout the course of the campaign.

David Flitcroft's Mansfield have moved up to second in the table despite having an incredibly busy month. They played seven league games but managed to earn 13 points, scoring eleven goals in the process. He has had to manage his squad to continue to bring the best out of everyone and he has done that very well.

One of the most entertaining sides in League Two this season are Bury and that is why Ryan Lowe has been nominated again. They came from 3-1 down to beat MK Dons 4-3 and also saw a 3-3 draw against Lincoln. They gained 13 points from their five league games in the month.

Sky Bet League Two Player of the Month nominees

Forest Green striker Christian Doidge has been in fine form since rejoining the club. He was recalled from his loan spell at Bolton and picked up where he left off with three goals in four starts.

Another striker catching the eye has been Hallam Hope. The Carlisle forward has scored three goals and contributed another assist, he has certainly played his part in helping his club rise up the standings.

A key figure for Yeovil in January was Tom James. The central defender has provided an impact at both ends of the pitch, playing a part in helping Town to keep two clean sheets and also finding the net for two of the four goals the Glovers scored in the month.

It's another nomination for Jay O'Shea. The Bury midfielder is in fine goalscoring form, scoring another five in January, four of which were equalisers or put his side ahead. A real talent and someone who has helped Bury massively reach their current position of third.
