The nominations for the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month award for August.
Derek Adams (Plymouth Argyle)It's been an impressive start in his new surroundings for the former Ross County manager. Twelve points from a possible 15 were gleaned by the attacking verve he has instilled since arriving in Devon with Argyle scoring in every game.
Gareth Ainsworth (Wycombe Wanderers)
Ainsworth is proving that last season’s march to the Sky Bet League 2 Play-Off Final was no fluke. He has organised his side superbly – his defence conceded just a single goal in five unbeaten matches as Wycombe laid the foundations for another promotion charge.
Paul Cook (Portsmouth)
Cook has brought his footballing philosophy to the south coast, allying a commitment to attractive football and meticulous planning. Eleven points from five unbeaten games have given Pompey their best start since dropping into League 2.
Ian Hendon (Leyton Orient)
Hendon masterminded the only 100 per cent record in the Sky Bet Football League in August. Orient’s five wins brought 15 points and a 13-3 goal differential; bringing hope as well as banishing the memory of last season’s relegation.
The winners will be announced on Friday.
