CITY’S recent improvement has been acknowledged with a manager-of-the-month nomination for Mark Trueman.

The interim boss is one of the four contenders for the League Two award for January.

City, under Trueman and Conor Sellars, took seven points from their three games last month, including wins over Southend and Barrow.

The other bosses shortlisted for the prize, that will be announced on Friday, are Cambridge’s Mark Bonner, Nigel Clough of Mansfield and Keith Hill at Tranmere.
