In recognition for Plymouth Argyle's improved showing in March, manager John Sheridan and winger Jason Banton have been nominated for the respective manager and player of the month awards.
Former Oldham and Chesterfield boss Sheridan, who replaced Carl Fletcher in January, has overseen four wins from a possible six in March.
This run includes home wins over Barnet and Fleetwood Town, an away win against Southend United and victory over Exeter City in Sheridan's first Devon derby at the Home Park helm.
Former Republic of Ireland midfielder Sheridan faces opposition from AFC Wimbledon manager Neal Ardley and Bristol Rovers manager John Ward who, ironically, nearly became Director of Football at Home Park prior to Sheridan's appointment.
One hallmark of Sheridan's reign in charge of the Pilgrims has been the club's impressive home form, which, at the time of writing, reads played eight, won four, drawn three and lost one.
Their only defeat from their six matches during March came at the hands of title chasers Gillingham at the Priestfield Stadium on March 9th.
A key player for the Pilgrims during this run was winger Jason Banton, currently on loan at Argyle from Crystal Palace, who found the back of the net three times against Gillingham, Fleetwood and Exeter.
Despite only being at Home Park for a short time, Banton is currently the Pilgrims' leading scorer with six goals and his performances would surely have not gone unnoticed by his manager at Selhurst Park, former Pilgrims' boss Ian Holloway.
To win the award, Banton faces competition from one-time Argyle full-back Lee Molyneux, now of Accrington Stanley, and Cheltenham Town defender Steve Elliott.
