The nominations for the Sky Bet League Two Manager of the Month award for February 2017.
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 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.
The winner will be announced on Friday.
