SAINTS boss has been nominated for the manager of the month award.

Throughout April, Nigel Adkins oversaw his charges win seven of their eight matches in a hectic month on the road to promotion from League One.

That sequence includes inflicting the first home defeat of the season on Champions Brighton and a superb comeback at St. Mary's to beat MK Dons 3-2.

The four-man shortlist also contains Huddersfield boss Lee Clark, who has spoken highly of Saints achievements during the run in.

The League One manager of the month will be revealed on Friday.
