BILLY Davies has been nominated for the manager of the month award for March, in the Championship.
The Nottingham Forest boss enjoyed almost a perfect month, as his side surged into the top six in the table.
Four wins and a draw restored the Reds' hopes of winning a place in the play-offs, following the manager's return for a second spell at the club.
Davies faces competition from Peterborough United's Darren Ferguson.
Seemingly doomed to relegation around Christmas, Posh enjoyed an unbeaten run of their own in March, including a significant victory against league leaders Cardiff City – where Forest head on Saturday.
Dean Saunders, manager of another team fighting it out at the wrong end of the table, in Wolverhampton Wanderers, is the other nominee.
Saunders' men secured three wins and a draw, giving themselves a chance of avoiding the drop.
