Shoot!’s League Two Awards (January)

Manager of the Month: Paul Tisdale (Exeter City)

It’s hard to believe that Exeter fans unveiled a ‘Tisdale Out’ banner at Adams Park back in September.

Then again, Exeter City hardly set the world alight at the start of the campaign as they struggled and toiled near the bottom of the league.

All that has changed now and the Grecians enter February in the play-off places courtesy of a remarkable run, including five wins from five in January.

Built on a tight defence, just one goal conceded, they’ve recorded handsome victories over Leyton Orient, Grimsby and Colchester, as well as edging past Portsmouth at Fratton Park, before becoming the first team to beat Wycombe in League Two since October.

The play-offs may have been a pipe dream not long ago, for Tisdale and Exeter now though, they could potentially target the top three.
