Brewers boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has been nominated for Sky Bet League 2 manager of the month
Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (Burton Albion)
Hasselbaink has made an easy transition into League 2 management, passing on his experience and know-how to reinforce Burton’s position in the automatic promotion places. A total of 11 points from five games unbeaten is a measure of his fine start.
Â
Micky Mellon (Shrewsbury Town)
Mellon guided his side to three successive wins to end the month as his side re-assumed the leadership of League 2 with the attacking flair that has become their trademark under the Scot. Ten points picked up from five games.
Â
Ronnie Moore (Hartlepool)
Moore began 2015 with the hardest job of any League 2 manager at rock bottom Hartlepool. But he has transmitted his enthusiasm, passion and optimism to his players. Seven points from five games, including confidence-boosting wins over Cheltenham Town and Plymouth Argyle, brings some hope of survival.
Â
Chris Wilder (Northampton Town)
If Wilder’s side struggled for consistency and rhythm in the first half of the season, January could hardly have gone better with 13 points from a possible 15 and a 12-2 goal differential. His team is looking towards a late Play-Offs charge.
