Dale manager Keith Hill has been shortlisted for the League Two Manager of the Month for April, along with all the usual suspects on the shortlist.

Others on the shortlist include Paul Ince of MK Dons, Jim Gannon of Stockport County, and Graham Turner of Hereford. The decision will be taken by Sky Sports expert Chris Kamara who will be drawing on his own managerial experience with Stoke and Bradford to help him come to his conclusion.

If he makes his judgement based on the number of points acquired during the month, then its already in the bag as Dale picked up 17 points in April - three more than their nearest rivals. Admittedly we played more games, but even based on points per game, win % or whatever way you want to look at it, Hill was top dog.

The decision will be announced on Sky Sports News on Thursday afternoon.
