Lee Bell has been shortlisted for Sky Bet League Two's Manager of the Month award for February.

The Reds completed the month unbeaten which included impressive victories at Stockport County and Notts County.

Nominations list:

Graham Alexander (Bradford City)

Wins over high-flying Wrexham and MK Dons were the highlights as Alexander reversed Bradford’s recent slide to move his team back into play-off contention, collecting 10 points from four games and keeping clean sheets in all of them.

Lee Bell (Crewe Alexandra)

Bell’s tactical nous shone as Crewe picked up 11 points from five unbeaten games to move into the top three. Flexible with his formation, he used his side’s fitness levels to press from the front in vital wins at Stockport and Notts County. 

Nigel Clough (Mansfield Town)

With 90 attempts on goal, 28 of them in the 5-1 win over Salford, a 9-2 demolition of Harrogate and 20 goals scored in five games while collecting 12 points, the consistency of Clough’s side deservedly saw them take over top spot in League Two.

Mat Sadler (Walsall)

Sadler had to contend with losing his two most experienced central defenders, yet still guided Walsall to 14 points from seven games, ending with four straight wins which lifted his side from 16th to seventh and into the play-off places.

ALL WINNERS WILL BE ANNOUNCED ON FRIDAY 8 MARCH 2024

The Sky Bet Manager of the Month judging panel comprises former Barnsley manager Danny Wilson, Sky Sports’ EFL expert Don Goodman, and Sky Bet EFL trader Ivor Davies.
