Despite picking up an impressive four wins and one draw from his first seven games in charge, Silkmen boss Keith Alexander has missed out on making the shortlist for the 'Manager of the Month'  award which was announced by the Football League today.

The four managers in line for the award for March are Darren Ferguson (Posh), Paul Ince (MK Dons), Jim Gannon (Stockport) and Alan Knill (Bury). The winner will be announced on Thursday at 12.30 on Sky Sports News.
