Wednesday 7 December 2016 06:43, UK
Graham Alexander and Phil Brown are among the nominees for the Sky Bet League One Manager of the Month Award for November.
Scunthorpe boss Alexander has received a third nomination in four months, with the Iron securing a 10-point haul from four November games, including three clean sheets.
The month began with Southend fans looking nervously towards the relegation zone but Brown has guided his side to eight points from four unbeaten games to leave them eyeing the play-offs.
Gillingham manager Justin Edinburgh is also in the running after he refused to buckle to pressure building on him due to a previous poor run of results.
Instead, the Kent club picked up three wins from four games which lifted them to within three points of the play-off places.
