    Not sure who picked it but they have just announced Nathan Lowe as Young Player of Year in League Two even though he left Walsall at New Year.

    Pointon was up for it too

    Alexander manager of the year and Lowe young player of the year.

    When were these votes cast? March and January? Its a sham.

    With Lowe if people are saying the reason Walsall have collapsed then surely that proves how good he's been this season, if we are comparing his numbers to Pointon then Lowe got 15 goals and 5 assists, the assists are the same as what Pointon has got who's meant to be a creative player

    Congrats, if he gets us up it’ll be well earned. Moore is the definition of pay to win. Suppose McCann may feel aggrieved though.

    Hopefully getting promoted with Byrne and Baldwin as integral parts of your defence?

    Bloke should be knighted and made a professor of football, not just given a dodgy league 2 award l!

    He hasn’t played a L2 game since Xmas ? I think that’s the point being made . So half a season?

    Well deserved if we are up next Saturday considering the baggage and pressure of this job.

    Erm…….Richie Smallwood in the Team of the Year League Two. So two awards.

    Alexander looked visibly shocked when named as the winner at the EFL awards ceremony in Park Lane in London.
    “Honestly I’m so overwhelmed,” he said. “There’s a touch of embarrassment – Grant McCann and Darren Moore have already been promoted”.
    “I don’t really know how to take it, to be honest.” https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/sport/sportlatest/25119152.bradford-city-richie-smallwood-league-two-best-team/

    At least he was embarrassed.

    Surely this is now the mother of all ‘Curse of the Managers award” waiting to happen. o_O

    5 wins out of 23 away and you're the best manager in the league.

    Unbelievable

    If anyone deserves it it's Ian Holloway at Swindon.

    When he joined them they were rock bottom and doomed, club in total disarray.

    They're ending the season currently 7 points off the play-offs and on the cusp of a top half finish.

    If the award should go to the manager whose team has overachieved the most, then I'd suggest Bromley's Andy Woodman should have been right up there.

    That said, if we win our next match, then it's Alexander for me.

    Well I am pleased for both of them. However, it seems discipline is not taken into account when choosing. I would be looking at managers who have not had a big budget and have still achieved success. Let’s hope it doesn’t have the same effect as being manager of the month.
