City head coach Michael Skubala and defender Sonny Bradley have been nominated for the Sky Bet League One Manager and Player of the Month awards for March respectively.
The Imps enjoyed another unbeaten month, defeating Cardiff City, Exeter City, Stockport County and Rotherham United, as well as coming from two goals down to claim a draw at Huddersfield Town.
The other manager nominations are as follows:
Tom Cleverley (Plymouth Argyle)
Cleverley’s side showed their growing resilience in March with comeback wins over Doncaster and Huddersfield, while twice coming from behind in a draw at play-off rivals Reading as they gained 13 points from five unbeaten games.
Alex Revell (Stevenage)
After a poor start to 2026, Revell took his Stevenage side back to basics to re-ignite their promotion push. He placed the emphasis back on their defensive stability with clean sheets underpinning their three 1-0 wins in five games.
Richie Wellens (Leyton Orient)
After slipping into the relegation zone, Wellens made the brave decision to be more hands-off during matches, giving his players more freedom. The result was 11 goals and 13 points from six games to move out of the bottom four.
The other player nominations are as follows:
Kelvin Ehibhatiomhan (Reading) - striker
Not a natural central striker, Ehibhatiomhan deputised for leading scorer Jack Marriott to stunning effect, with six goals in six games, including a headed winner at Burton and a first senior hat-trick at Luton, to lift Reading into the play-off places.
Oliver Norwood (Stockport County) - midfielder
Stockport’s results dipped when Norwood was missing through injury and then took time to recover his form.
He did just that in March, running the midfield, dictating play and scoring three goals, including an important equaliser at Luton.
Dom Ballard (Leyton Orient) - striker
Ballard’s hat-trick at AFC Wimbledon - his third this season - showed his poacher’s instincts. His haul of five goals and an assist helped ease Orient’s relegation fears.
It also included a sublime finish on the run and a clever header at Stevenage.
