Artell is up against John Coleman (Accrington), Gary Bowyer (Blackpool) & Derek Adams (Plymouth Argyle) for the award which is decided on Friday.

Assistant Manager Lunt is pleased that his colleague has been recognized for the upturn in the Club's fortunes & has praised Club staff for their contributions. 

He said: "It's great for him. It was his third month in charge of the team, & he's done really well to turn things around.

"I spoke to Dave & we put it all down to the players & everyone who works at this Football Club.

"Every member of staff, anyone who does anything here, we all work together & we're all trying to do the right things. 

"We all want to succeed & we all want the Club to do as well as possible."
