Doncaster Rovers and Wycombe Wanderers dominate the League Two Manager of the Month and Player of the Month shortlists.

Wycombe Wanderers and Doncaster Rovers have representatives in shortlists for the League Two Manager of the Month and Player of the Month for November.

Doncaster, who have suffered two relegations in three seasons, currently sit at the top of the league table with a one-point lead.

Manager Darren Ferguson is nominated for the monthly award for guiding the team to three wins out of three, while midfielder Jordan Houghton, who is on loan from Chelsea, is up for Player of the Month following impressive performances in midfield.

Wycombe have climbed up from 21st to the playoff places following four consecutive wins in November, and as a result of the wins and conceding just one goal, manager Gareth Ainsworth has been nominated for the monthly honour.

Defender Aaron Pierre is also in line for an individual gong after helping Wycombe keep three clean sheets, and at the other end of the pitch the 23-year-old scored once and registered two assists last month.

Gary Bowyer also gets the nod after his Blackpool side earned three wins from four, while Stevenage boss Darren Sarll completes the shortlist for guiding the team to seven points from three games.

As for the remaining contenders for Player of the Month, Omar Bogle makes it onto the list for scoring seven goals in four games for Grimsby Town, while Carlisle United's Charlie Wyke is nominated for netting six times, including his first ever league hat-trick, in four matches.
