Despite getting two nominations, Dons did not get an award

Both Curtis Nelson and Paul Warne both missed out on winning League Two Player and Manager of the Month for February.

In his first full month at MK Dons since joining from Derby County, Nelson helped Dons establish themselves in the automatic promotion spots. However, he was pipped to the prize by ex-Dons loanee Jack Payne, who netted four goals last month, including his second hat-trick of the season against Barnet.

Warne meanwhile, after picking up 11 points from a possible 15 and going unbeaten through the month, was beaten to the Manager of the Month trophy by Shrewsbury’s Gavin Cowan. Arriving from non-league Brackley, Cowan transformed Shrewsbury’s season, guiding them to five straight wins in a 15-point haul from seven games, beating promotion chasers Swindon, Notts County and Salford, and moving clear of the relegation zone.
