Plymouth Argyle boss Derek Adams has been named League Two's Manager of the Month for September.

The Pilgrims had an unbeaten month following five wins and a draw, and the club have a five-point lead at the top of the table.

"The players have shown terrific form to have accumulated the points total so far, which is the club's best start for 90 years," said Adams. "This has been achieved by hard work, creative edge and good character. We have to keep going, it's a tough league - you can see that by the results every week.

"We had excellent season last season and we have made an even better start this time around. We had to make many changes to the team over the summer - we've taken in 16 new players - and I'm delighted with the blend to the squad."

Plymouth have dropped points in just three of their 11 league games this season.
