John Coleman, Michael Gash take September's League Two honours

Accrington Stanley boss John Coleman and Barnet striker Michael Gash win September's League Two Manager and Player of the Month respectively.

John Coleman and Michael Gash have been named September's Manager and Player of the Month respectively in League Two.

Accrington Stanley boss Coleman led his side to 13 points out of 15 last month after a slow start to the season in August.

Stanley won just one of their league games in the opening month, but soared up into the playoff places in September with four straight victories after starting the month with a goalless draw at promotion favourites Portsmouth.

"It's an honour to receive the award but it's a fallacy that it's Manager of the Month as it should be Team of the Month as it's the team that gets the most points," said Coleman.

"I am just the recipient. I didn't score any goals - although I wish I had.

"The last time I got any kind of award like this, we won the league - the Conference - so hopefully it's an omen."

Barnet striker Gash, meanwhile, rediscovered his scoring touch in September with four goals in five matches.

"It's fantastic to pick up this award in my first Football League season, and after just two months," said Gash. "But it's not just me. It's the whole team, the staff, and everyone behind the scenes who have contributed to this award."

Two of Gash's four goals were a match-winning brace against Dagenham & Redbridge on September 26.
