Kevin Nolan has been named the League Two Manager of the Month following a near-perfect September for Notts County.
The Magpies had seven tricky games to contend with in the month, but Nolan led them to six wins, only falling at the final hurdle with defeat at bitter rivals Mansfield Town.
At present, Notts remain top of League Two with eight wins from 11 league games, a remarkable turnaround from the side that notched up a horror 10-match losing run late last year and heading into 2017.
Nolan told the official club site: "This is an extremely proud achievement for me, my staff and my players, who have all made a massive contribution.
"There's no way I could do this job without Richard Thomas, Mark Crossley and everyone who has supported me behind the scenes. They all thoroughly deserve this recognition.
"I would also like to thank the chairman once again for the amazing backing he has given me, not only this season but since our arrival in January."
Nolan fended off competition from Exeter’s Paul Tisdale, Accrington’s John Coleman and Coventry’s Mark Robins in what is the first manager of the month award of his career.

Hello and welcome to episode 27 of the Pride of Nottingham PONcast, hosted by the East Midlands' very own Ant and Dec (but with more facial hair - much more) Chris and JJ.
In this week's episode, we analyse Notts County's humbling 3-1 defeat at Mansfield Town in the Nottinghamshire derby - both on and off the pitch - before going on to review what has been an otherwise impressive September for the Magpies
We also look ahead to October's first League Two fixture, a home clash with bottom side Forest Green Rovers which, despite seeming straightforward on paper, will prove a tough mental test in terms of keeping complacency at bay for Kevin Nolan.
Other topics covered include the speculation linking Liam Noble to a potential departure from FGR, attacking legend Les Bradd's 50-year anniversary of his Notts debut, and plenty more.
All this and more only in episode 27 of the Pride of Nottingham PONcast!

Kevin Nolan has stressed that Notts County must not underestimate Forest Green Rovers as they have "absolutely nothing to lose" and will be eyeing the scalp of the League Two leaders.
The Magpies remain top of the division on goal difference following their 3-1 derby defeat at Mansfield Town a week ago.
On Saturday, Meadow Lane will host an encounter between Notts and FGR, who currently sit at the basement of the league.
“It has been a difficult season so far for them,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post. “I watched them against Swindon when it was on television and I felt they were unlucky not to get something out of the game.
“But, for me, it’s not about Mark Cooper, Forest Green, or the links we have with them, it’s about us. It’s about what we do and as I have said consistently over time, on our day we are a match for anyone.
“If we turn up on Saturday then we have a fantastic chance of winning all three points. That’s what we will be going out to do.
“It doesn’t matter what division, how many times have you seen bottom beat top?
“In our league, anyone can beat anyone and that’s why I say to these boys, there is not a time you can switch off and hope to get through a game and win.
“You have to be at it every game. You cannot have five, six, seven or eight players off their game.
“If we have that on Saturday, we will be punished by Forest Green because they have got some good players and good strengths.
“And listen, they are coming to the league leaders. They have absolutely nothing to lose, and they are going to want to produce an upset.
“There has been so many times when my mates have rung me and said ‘I can’t believe this team has beaten one at the top’ and the result has let them down on their accumulator.
“There is no doubt in my mind that we will face a top team who are in the league for the first time and are wanting to impress.
“And what better place is there to get that lift by beating the team who is at the top of the league?
“That’s what we have to deal with. We are there to be shot at. And it’s how long we can handle that for and how long we can stay there for.
“I am sure I will see a lot from my players in the next 48 hours, and I am hoping it’s going to be positive again because the reaction they have given me so far has been absolutely amazing.”

Notts County entered October at the top of League Two, although they were left reeling from a 3-1 derby defeat at Mansfield Town, with the scoreline only marginally better thanks to Carl Dickinson's late consolation.
However, being brought back down to earth could be beneficial in the long term as it showed the Magpies players that great form and momentum can come crashing to a halt, so back to the drawing board.
Up next for Notts is a home game against the league's basement side, Forest Green Rovers, promoted from the National League last season.
Pride of Nottingham spoke to FGR fan Connor to get an insight on Saturday's opposition.
About Connor: In my early 20s, been a fan since 2012, and my favourite player is Dale Bennett.
Forest Green are in the EFL for the first time in their history. Tell us about their rise and how it feels at present.
It's incredible really, uncharted territory for the town of Nailsworth and the region of Gloucestershire. For years and years FGR was just a local non-league club that you'd pop down to support alongside a couple hundred other people, but since Dale Vince took over the club it's been an incredible rollercoaster ride and we're making the most of it, even if things are a little murky at present.
Much is made of the club's green credentials - and opposition fans seem eager to mock this aspect. What do you make of it?
At first it did seem like a bit much when Vince made all those changes to the club but it's a noble cause, it's for the good of the environment and so most of the fans have happily got behind it. As for the opposition fans mocking us, we've got used to it now. It's pathetic and cute at the same time, won't say much more than that.
Mark Cooper used to be Notts manager but the manner of his departure left many fans unimpressed. How is he doing at FGR?
Cooper was a popular choice at the time and managed to get us promoted. However, his relationship with the fans isn't very good at present, and he appears to have lost the dressing room too. The biggest mistake was giving him a five-year contract, because sacking him would cost the club a lot in compensation, but likewise Cooper isn't exactly under that much pressure to deliver.
Liam Noble was famously the subject of interest from Notts in the summer but he won't be playing - what's happening with him?
The official line is that Noble is going to be absent because of a medical issue. The club's PR hasn't been very good in the last couple months so fans are speculating as to what exactly it might be. But the general consensus is that it's something potentially sensitive and confidential so aside from unbased speculation, there isn't really anything more to it.
Who are your danger men?
Christian Doidge got 27 goals in 44 games last season and got off to a good start this season with 4 in his first 5, though his form has tailed off since then. Dale Bennett is one of the most consistent players in our line-up, is skilled and always gives 100%. And then we have Keanu Marsh-Brown and Noble, neither of whom are playing at the minute sadly.
Final score?
With how things are at the minute at FGR and bearing in mind County's form, I'd be delighted to take a draw. I'll go with 1-1.

Kevin Nolan has expressed his delight with Shola Ameobi's return for Notts County, but insists he will not rush him back into action.
The former Newcastle United forward had not played for the Magpies since injuring his hamstring in the win over Morecambe.
However, Ameobi was given more than 20 minutes on the pitch in the derby with Mansfield Town, and Nolan says his return gives him more attacking talent at his disposal.
“Shola’s return is great as it gives us more options,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post.
“We are now at the point where, with the exception of Dan Jones, we are a fully-fit squad.
“He (Shola) has done a lot of work, but we are not going to rush him because we don’t want a recurrence of his injury.
“We are delighted how quick he has come back and it just shows that the work he did in pre-season enabled him to be strong and ready to go against Mansfield.”

Kevin Nolan has backed his Notts County players to put the 3-1 defeat at Mansfield Town behind them and "prove people wrong again".
The Magpies enjoyed a flawless September right up to the final fixture of the month, where a Danny Rose brace and Richard Duffy's own goal sadly brought the visitors back to earth.
Despite the defeat, Notts remain top of League Two, and Nolan admits he gave them a pep talk following the loss at Field Mill, with a view to the Forest Green Rovers clash and the subsequent games in October.
“I said to the lads at the end of the game that I was very proud of them,” he told the Nottingham Post.
“They have been absolutely magnificent and to be top of the table after 11 games is a wonderful feeling.
“Let’s not get carried away with just one game. Let’s just think about what we have done in the last 10 because we were magnificent.
“Nobody over those games can ever say we didn’t deserve to win. All I am trying to get across to the players is that when you do win, and you don’t deserve it, that is when you are a proper side.
“When I was playing and you had the likes of Man United coming to you, they wouldn’t be brilliant but would go away with a win or a loss.
“That’s what we have got to learn so we leave some grounds thinking ‘how did we get away with that?’.
“Defeat against Mansfield will give the lads determination to prove a lot of people wrong again.”

Notts County owner Alan Hardy has urged families across the region to head down to Notts County during their community day on Saturday.
The Magpies host Forest Green Rovers at Meadow Lane this weekend as part of a special day which will see a wide range of activities take place.
Among them will be games, face painting, the chance to look at an ambulance and fire engines while there will also be singing choirs.
Tickets for the game are just £10 for adults, while under-18s’ tickets are £5, under-12s’ are £1 and under sevens can go free.
“It promises to be a fantastic occasion and we have so many wonderful activities for children and adults to take part in on the day,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.
“Whether you are a family of football fans or not, come down and experience what we are offering.
“We hope to create a carnival atmosphere in what is a big game for us. And who knows - if you are not a football fan, we may convert you into one!
“We have pulled out all the stops to make it accessible to everybody and with the team at the top of the league and looking to get back to winning ways, it’s going to be an exciting day.
“We have had a tremendous amount of interest and I cannot wait for what should be a splendid occasion full of atmosphere.
“I am also hoping that Forest fans will come along to see how the likes of Ryan Yates and Jorge Grant are getting on given they have played a major part of our success so far.
“There are no Championship games or Premier League matches to watch, so come and pay us a visit and help play a part in our bid to get back to winning ways.”

Notts County have announced that club record goalscorer Les Bradd will donate £1 from every sale of his forthcoming book to the beneficiaries of Thursday's CEO Sleepout.
The legendary Magpies striker began his 11-year stint at Meadow Lane 50 years ago this week following his £1,000 move from Rotherham United.
Over the late 60s and throughout the 70s, Bradd thrilled the Black and White Army as he notched up an amazing 125 goals in 398 appearances in the famed Notts shirt.
In Far Post: A Striker’s Tale of Scoring Goals and Breaking Records, Bradd takes an in-depth look at his own career and gives an exclusive insight into his relationship with club legends like Jimmy Sirrel, Tony Hateley and Don Masson.
And the 69-year-old has confirmed that a cut of each book sale will go towards CEO Sleepout, a charity championed by Football In The Community that will see executives sleep outdoors overnight to raise money in the fight against homelessness and poverty.
"To see the effort that everyone at FITC has put into making the sleepout a success has been heart-warming" Les told the official Notts site.
"Last year was a fantastic event as business owners across the county met and raised money for the homeless. I knew I wanted to support the event in any way possible.
"I hope the sales of my book can in some way support the lives of those most in need within the city."
On general sale from Saturday, you can pre-order your copy of Les' book today at lesbraddbook.co.uk or alternatively, you can visit the Meadow Lane club shop.
In addition, Les will be signing copies of the book in the club shop on Saturday at the following times: 9.30am-10.15am, 1pm-1.30pm and 5pm-5.30pm.
Notts chairman and owner Alan Hardy is taking part in the CEO Sleepout - you can donate to his cause here.

Two months into the season and Notts County are flying high. Top of League Two, joint-second highest goals scored on 21, joint-third lowest goals conceded on 11 (and just over half of those came in our two "blip" games).
What makes it all the more impressive is that there have been some really tough games in August and September - very much make or break. And credit to Kevin Nolan and the players (and Alan Hardy) it's been a case of "make".
August gave us two teams relegated from League One - one a bitter local rival - and a solid team boasting the very awkward Adebayo Akinfenwa. September, meanwhile, gave us the remaining two relegated sides, the Prawn bogey team, and two more East Midlands rivals.
And despite this run, Notts got through these months in fantastic fashion.
Now, into October. On paper, this month is a lot, lot more straightforward. The first three teams (Forest Green, Barnet and Crewe) are all in the bottom six at present, before the long-haul Carlisle away day and, to finish off the month (once we get past the meaningless EFL Trophy game with Mansfield), Newport at home, a team that, to their credit, has begun the season well, but remain short of quality.
The key words here are "on paper". Fixture-wise, this month will need Nolan to really put his "no complacency" mantra into practice. And my view is that the first two months of the season, where the manager has seen players out of the starting XI or even the squad for dropping standards, will have served as good preparation for the next four weeks.
Maybe the defeat at Field Mill could also prove to be a blessing in disguise. The whole of September was outstanding and, in a way, us fans got a little "used" to winning. Maybe the players ended up taking the foot off the pedal in terms of mentality and, lo and behold, the Stags had our pants down. A rude awakening, but one that will jolt the team back into the right frame of mind.
Already there's talk on the forum of FGR being a team that we "are going to slaughter". Based on form, league standing and player quality, it would seem the case, but already we have lost half the battle by thinking this way. Remember, Mark Cooper is an ex-Notts manager and historically they have got their own back on their former employers.
Arguably the biggest sub-plot of the weekend's game, that of Liam Noble returning to his old stomping ground, seems to have been put on ice given that FGR have ruled him out sans return date due to medical issues, but if he does end up playing, there's that age-old "former player returns to haunt his former club" which fate almost always springs up (hell, we saw it ourselves when Terry Hawkridge bagged his first for Notts against, who else, Lincoln).
So in a nutshell, an easy month on paper is very much a potential pitfall, so Nolan will arguably be given an even sterner test this month - motivating a player to be 100% against a Coventry or Exeter is not as difficult as getting the same percentage against a Barnet or Newport.
Over to you boys - don't get complacent, or the amazing start we've had so far in 2017/18 will end up being an irrelevant memory like all the great starts we've had in recent years.

Juventus's summer transfer business ended with a reinforcement in midfield, Blaise Matuidi, who came from Paris Saint-Germain and chose number 14, and a defender, Benedikt Howedes, who came from Schalke 04 and chose shirt number 21.
Following the closure of the transfer market, our competitive fixtures started: in the Italian Supercoppa final, Juve lost 3-2 to Lazio, with a Paulo Dybala brace not enough to win.
Dybala, aka "La Joya" (the jewel), is playing his first season with the number 10 shirt. "It's an honour," Dybala, who started the season very well, told the press.
Serie A started with Juve-Cagliari and finished 3-0 for us Bianconeri. Juve then won again in the next two league matches against Genoa and Chievo.
Up next was the Champions League group stage, with Barcelona, Olympiacos and Sporting Lisbon in our group.
The first game was in Catalonia, where Barca beat us 3-0. At Camp Nou, Mattia De Sciglio was injured and will be out for about 40 days.
After that game we won the three successive league matches, against Sassuolo, Fiorentina and against Torino, once again proving Turin is a black and white! We then won our second CL match, a 2-0 victory over Olympiacos.
On the 7th day of Serie A we draw 2-2 with Atalanta, goals by Federico Bernardeschi (first goal for Juve) and Gonzalo Higuain.
At present, Napoli are top of the league table by two points. However, Dybala is top of the goalscoring charts with 10 goals.
On October 14, we will head to the Allianz Stadium in Rome to face Lazio.
Meanwhile, off the pitch, the authorities decided the future of our president, Andrea Agnelli.
Andrea, accused of selling tickets for matches to 'mafioso' organisations, was banned for one year (disqualification), plus a 20,000 euro fine and a 300,000 euro fine for Juve.
The Juve players who are currently injured are Sami Khedira and Claudio Marchisio, who will return shortly; Miralem Pjanic, who is to be evaluated; De Sciglio, Howedes, who should be available in a couple of weeks, and Marko Pjaca, who suffered an ACL injury in March and is on the mend - within a month we could see him at last.
Juve are also expecting the return of Douglas Costa back to his best and, with the international break, he has time to rest.
Our next goals are to return to the top of the league and progress in the Champions League!

Kevin Nolan has hit out at a "ridiculous" festive fixture list for Notts County this season.
The Magpies must travel to Morecambe on Boxing Day which is then followed by a trip to Swindon Town three days later.
Notts were also handed midweek trips to Exeter City and Yeovil Town this season, causing much inconvenience for the Black and White Army.
“It’s ridiculous from the EFL,” Nolan told the Nottingham Post on Tuesday.
“They need to get the fixture list right. We are going to Morecambe and Swindon over Christmas and that’s scandalous. It’s a bugbear for me.
“If it’s local and away from home then at least the fans have the chance to go if they are off and enjoy an away day.
“Everybody loves Boxing Day fixtures and we don’t want our fans travelling four hours.
“It’s like Exeter. People shouldn’t be getting in at 4am or 5am in the morning from a game.”

Alan Hardy has described Kevin Nolan as "a star of the future" after the Notts County manager was nominated for September's League Two Manager of the Month award.
The 35-year-led the Magpies to six victories out of seven in the month, including memorable successes against local rivals Lincoln City and fellow high-flyers Exeter City.
A superb month for Notts, only marginally soured by a 3-1 defeat at Mansfield Town right at the end, saw the club enter October at the top of the table.
“He has done an incredible job and the start to the season as I said last week has been absolutely staggering,” Hardy told the Nottingham Post.
“I’ve no doubt in my mind that Kevin will be a star of the future and the way he has led the team since he came here back in January has been magnificent.
“The form over the last month has been absolutely outstanding and he totally deserves this nomination.
“To win six out of seven games is a hell of an achievement and I couldn’t be prouder to see his team and the players sitting at the top of the league.
“It has surpassed all expectation and long may it continue.”

A lot has been said about the policing and stewarding of Notts supporters at Mansfield on Saturday. Now I'm not for one second going to claim that our fans are all angels, although find me a club that doesn't have it's fair share of idiots, but year in year out when we go to Mansfield we get treated like absolute dirt, and it's becoming a joke.
When we go to Mansfield, we're banned from the town centre and pubs. When they come to us they get free roam of the city. There was a pub near the station actually advertising itself as being open to Notts fans, yet when Notts fans arrived at Mansfield station police blocked the route towards the pub and forced us straight to the ground.
I saw families with young children trying to make their own way to the ground, being told by police to wait and being forced to join the police escort to the ground. For what reason? Who's going to start a fight with a mum & dad and two young children?
I know football is tribal, and that's what makes it so special. I don't like Mansfield one bit, but I think 99% of us are quite capable of walking to a ground without feeling the need to assault somebody for wearing a different football shirt to us.
When we got to the ground it was supposed to be a full search policy before we were allowed in. Some people were not searched at all, some were searched in a completely over the top and somewhat degrading manner. I wasn't searched, yet my overnight bag was virtually emptied. Any need?
You then get crammed into a small caged area behind the stand which is nowhere near big enough to accommodate that many fans. You've got young children and disabled people being squeezed in amongst that.
You've then got completely needless heavy handed stewarding inside the ground, stewards trying to snatch flags from fans. I saw a steward physically grab a fan by the neck for taking photographs of our fans!
Then coming out of the ground we're again herded like cattle back to the station, and then East Midlands Trains in their infinite wisdom lay on a train made up of 2 coaches to transport Notts fans back to Nottingham. We were crammed in like cattle, and you had police shouting at us to move down the train, even though we barely had room to breathe! If I had been on that train for much longer I would've been sick.
We got hammered on the day and deservedly so, so this probably sounds like sour grapes, but come on, why do we get treated like animals? Not just us at Mansfield, but football fans in general. By no means am I saying it's like it was in the 70s and 80s, but it's far from good. Treat people like animals and they will behave like animals.
It's 2017, surely they can now differentiate between normal football fans just going for a day out with their mates to watch their team, and complete idiots who are there with the sole intention of causing trouble.
