Paul Sturrck: Nominated for the second consequtive month
Blues boss Paul Sturrock has been shortlisted for the npower League Two Manager of the Month for October, joining Ryan Hall who gets the nod for a possible Player of the Month award.
The Shrimpers have been unbeaten in October with five wins and one draw with only fat boy Steve Evans at Crawley Town, also on the list, being able to match it, which may make him slight favourite as Luggy picked it up for September, though with a worse record.
However, Southend did have the best goal difference over the games played of 16 goals scored while letting in only four, which matched the best defensive record of the other teams bar the creepies who let in five.
The other two nominees, see below, both have a loss against their name.
No surprise that winger come inside-forward has a chance in the players section, though last month's Shrimper nominee Michael Timlin has arguably been even better!
The judges last month that decided the winner are former Charlton Athletic manager Alan Curbishley, Sky Sports Football League expert Peter Beagrie, Football League Chief Operating Officer Andy Williamson, BBC Sport’s Mark Clemmit, League Managers Association Deputy CEO Olaf Dixon and npower Head of Sponsorship Emma Collins.
