Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray and Portsmouth boss Kenny Jackett are in the running for November's League One Manager of the Month award.

Blackburn Rovers manager Tony Mowbray and Portsmouth boss Kenny Jackett have been nominated for November's League One Manager of the Month award.

Mowbray has led his side to fourth in the table thanks to four wins from their four league games last month.

In addition, Rovers have won their games in style, scoring 13 goals and conceding five against Bury, Oxford United, Bristol Rovers and Blackpool.

Pompey boss Jackett, meanwhile, guided his newly-promoted side to three wins from four matches as they edged up to eighth in the table.

Also in the running is Graham Alexander, who extended Scunthorpe United's winning streak to six League One games with four victories in November, conceding just one goal in the process.

Rounding off the nominations is Walsall's Jon Witney, who called on his team to respond to their recent slide and inspired them to turn their form around with six points from three games.

The winner of the monthly award will be announced on Friday morning.
