Manager of the Month: Shaun Derry (Cambridge United)

Cambridge’s season didn’t start at all well, and for a while, it looked as though they would be spending the campaign as relegation fodder.

Debates around their multiple signings were had, not to mention how they had invested the money from their FA Cup exploits with Manchester United last season.

Such talk is somewhat forgotten now as Cambridge entered 2017 in the play-off places. They started December with a 5-0 win at Hartlepool United and then went on to beat Crewe Alexandra and Stevenage.

A 1-1 draw with Leyton Orient marked the only dropped points in the month for Derry’s men as he’s managed to put United’s early season worries well and truly behind them.
