The February nominations for the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month Award are:
Jim Bentley (Morecambe)
With staff and player wages being paid late and uncertainty about the club affecting his ability to sign new players during the transfer window, Bentley inspired a solidarity in his side to collect 15 points from eight games, five of them away from home.
Nathan Jones (Luton Town)
Draws against promotion rivals Doncaster and Plymouth underpinned a haul of nine points from five unbeaten games for Jones` team. Their consistency has mirrored his measured approach as the pressure to make the play-offs increases.
Kevin Nolan (Notts County)
His refusal to accept his new side were in a relegation battle transmitted confidence to his players. They responded by garnering 11 points from six games, which included away wins at rivals Leyton Orient and promotion-chasing Plymouth.
Darren Sarll (Stevenage)
Having declared he finds being a manager a lonely job, Sarll made friends aplenty in February by guiding Stevenage into the play-off positions with a 16-point haul from six unbeaten games and an even more impressive 14-5 goal differential.
Winners will be announced on Friday 10th February 2017.
