Steve Davis up for League One Award with Derry, Grayson and Johnson

Crewe Alexandra boss Steve Davis has been nominated for the League One Manager of the Month for October after guiding the club to three successive wins against Coventry City, Walsall and Peterborough United.

After an indifferent start to the new season, Crewe’s outstanding form last month propelled them back into touching distance of the safety places.

Davis is up against Shaun Derry (Notts County), Simon Grayson (Preston North End) and Lee Johnson (Oldham Athletic)
