Back when he became the first player ever to be given a contract by Warrington Rylands I have been an advocate of our making an offer for this player.
Now he is at Macclesfield. On Saturday he ended a seven-game goal drought for them. He's still young. He's skilful, quick, makes goals and scores regularly. He's a scouser who started out at Liverpool. He goes wide and comes inside. He'd be an addition.
Assuming we are EFL-bound he would make the grade and I think be keen to do it. We would have to pay something.
On the other hand if we wait till the end of the season other EFL interest might surface.
My suggestion would be to sign him now whilst he sees us at the crest of our wave and loan him back till the end of this season.
Matt has been keen on him too for some time too. Promotion shouldn't be the end of our story should it?

Wealdstone have appointed St Albans boss David Noble as their new manager.
The National League club were seeking a new boss after Stuart Maynard departed for Notts County last week.
Noble, 41, taking over from Ian Allinson in September 2022 and had steered the Saints into the National League South promotion race.
He joins on a deal until the end of 2025-26 and a club statement said: "His philosophy and approach to the game align perfectly with our ambitions."
Noble made more than 300 Football League appearances as a player, starting out at Arsenal and playing for Watford, West Ham, Bristol City and Exeter.
A statement from the Wealdstone board said: "We have been closely following David's impressive work at St Albans City and are confident in his ability to excel in a full-time managerial role.
"His philosophy and approach to the game will enable him to settle in quickly to build upon the excellent foundations set by Stuart Maynard over the last few years. We are poised for a new era of success at Wealdstone."
Noble's assistant will be Neil Banfield, a former Arsenal youth coach who worked under Arsene Wenger and has most recently assisted Michael Beale at QPR and Rangers.
St Albans will receive compensation from the Stones for Noble's move.

Lotus Road Subbuteo Stadium
Seth Efrika Road
Just south of The Scrubs
If only they'd snagged that bit of land
Brentford snagged
They'd have a new Subbuteo Stadium
Where you might able to see the goals you stand behind.
Larndan W12 BBC
Kick-off 13:30 UK Time
Sunday 28/01/24
Town are off to that little ground in Wes' Larndan Tarn, behind the old BBC TV Centre with more restricted views than you could ever imagine in a 20,000 seat stadium. Trying to sit in one of their seats is like trying to sit in a little kids pedal car. You can just about get your arse on the seat but your legs have to go over the row in front, which really means you have to stand up unless you are on really good terms with whoever is in front of you. In the upper tier, you can't see the goal line unless you are on the front row. In the lower tier, you can't see anything much better either.
(Allegedly, the club has now shortened the pitch, so the goalposts are now on the 6 yard line. See Pies, Pees and Pints).
It's debatable which stadium design is based on which stadium.

Loftus Road A 5 year year old's Subbuteo stadium
On the tellybox
It's FA Cup 4th Round weekend and Prima Donna League matches are thin on the ground. So Sky have picked this game as their Super, Smashing, Great, Win A Speedboat or Two in a Bed, Sunday Soccer Special. The only issue is that it's squeezed in between the back end of the Baggies v Wolves game and is due to kick-off 30 mins before Liverpool v Norwich, so persuading you local landlord/landlady to put Sky Sports Footy on while ITV show Liverpool v Norwich after the Black Country bun fight might take more than buying them a half or a glass of rosé. Just saying. Not too hard in Huddersfield, a bit of a problem for those of us scattered aound other parts. I'm getting Sunday lunch cooked for me again so I won't be watching either ours or the Liverpool game. I might get to see most of the local bun fight though.
So feel free to update at your leisure. I might just have time to post the match squads.
Pies, Pees and Pints
It's all in here
My usual sauce doesn't seem to update it's website as often as it did, so a different sauce with today's Sunday Lunch.
Latest news
Kevin the Gerbil has gone back home to USA'sville earlier than planned for some reason, but that hasn't stopped him dropping some more coach and player critical bombs on Town's Twitter feed. He's indicated that he sees this as a must win game. This of course is all leading to speculation about Mumbling Moore's job prospects. Radio Local's Horrible Hannah didn't hold back from putting her hobnails in during the presser. Listen below.
12 months ago a certain Mr. Fotheringham made the boast that Town would win the (almost) corresponding games, which were against QPR (at home, ironically) and Blackpool (away). Wendies to come next at home this season. Those games were played 4th/7th Feb. We drew them both, the fans had had enough of Fotheringham and he was toast. A few weeks later Colin came in, Town lost 3-0 at Stoke, won 2-1 at home to Brum, then lost 4-0 at Burnley and 0-4 at home to Coventry and the rest as they say was history. Will history repeat itself I ask?
Apart from REG going to Charlton, Josh Austerfield is sharing bunk beds and washing up duties on Platform 15 with Aaron Rowe at Crewe.

Out Injured/Suspended/Isolating
Ollie Turton played briefly for the stiffs on his way back from an ACL injury last week.
Back in hospital having more surgery on his meniscus, so he's done for this season.
Headley and Burgzorg still injured, as are the rest of them bar two.
Back training but not oven ready/Back in the frame
Dutch bean pole Balker has recovered from his bout of the pukes and squirts.
Pearson is back training but likely won't be in the squad.
Last time out
An assortment of post match comments on other well known websites last week plus ours said Town were either too negative and careful, didn't have players capable of finding the onion bag (cows arses, banjos and barn doors again) or we were well set up to frustrate Blackburn and catch them on the break. Which ever way you cut it, it ended up as yet another draw after we'd played them off the park on Boxing Day. We've now drawn 12, two more than Coventry, Watford and Rotherham. Nobody else is in double figures yet.
![[Image: yXCEgjb.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/yXCEgjb.jpeg)
QPR moved themselves 2 points closer to Town by beating South (east?) London rivals Millwall 2-0 at home. Yeah, Millwall are south of the river but they are further north than Chelsea or Fulham. No matter how far north the Thames meanders, if you're on or south of the South Bank of the Thames, you're in South Larndan. You can be in West, East or North Larndan otherwise. Chuffing Lardaners? Whooo'd have one, eh?
![[Image: J9trd8u.jpeg]](https://i.imgur.com/J9trd8u.jpeg)
Blunderland continued their iffy home form with a defeat at home to Hull. Southampton continued their club record run to go 20 games without a defeat. They are now a point behind Ipswich who were well ahead of the chasing pack not too long ago. In the top of the table clash it finished all square.
Meanwhile away from the land of make-belief, Rotherham drew at Boro (how have we lost a Cup game and a League game at home to them? Yes I know I asked that earlier in the week too). Then again, at least we didn't get spanked 6-1 at Chelsea this week. QPR I've already mentioned and Wendies lost at home to Coventry. Brum won at Stoke meaning we now need at least two wins to get off the trap door.

Musical Interlude
I may have mentioned in previous threads that a local lad, with a tightly permed hair do met a soon to be fish farmer with a tightly permed hair do sometime back in the last quarter of the last century. That first lad was Leo Sayer and the fish farmer was none other than Roger Daltrey.
Like I need an excuse to put an 'oo video on here.
(As sung by Maidstone fans at Ipswich this Saturday afternoon .....) 
Well done Maidstone 
or two
here's one that Roger the Dodger, er, borrowed from Leo.
The Sack Race
Two more casualties this week. Matthew Taylor got the push at League One Shrewsbury after only being appointed at the end of June last year.
He was shortly followed into the dole office by Michael Appleton at Charlton Athletic, just after he'd signed REG from us. Has REG jumped too early? Appleton was appointed in September last year. Both clubs are on 30 points, with The Shrews sat on the League One trap door and Charlton 4 places above on goal difference.
Honourable mention since my last thread to Troy Deeney who managed to get his P45 before his first pay slip at Forest Green.
Paul Hurst, formerly of, erm, the parish of Shrewsbury first time round, Grimsby (thrice), Ipswich and Scunny managerial fame and 438 playing appearances for Rotherham, has plonked his backside in the hot luke warm seat at Shrewsbury.
Steve Cotterill (he's been every where man, he's been every where, including Shrewsbury) is now enjoying the selection of vegan pies and peas at Forest Green's canteen. He was a journeyman player making a total of 164 appearances for nobody that really matters, though Wimbledon were in what is now The Prima Donna League, when he played a few times for them. He's not far off the number of clubs in my golf bag when it comes to managers jobs. He's also been about as successful as the clubs in my golf bag to be honest.
Tables, Form & Roller coaster
We couldn't be much closer at the wrong end of the League.

No surprise either then that we're both way down in the form leagues.

They've been 3rd bottom for almost as long as we've been 4th bottom this season. Their (lack of) progress is very similar to ours last season, except they went for the new manager thing this season long before we did last season. Will we roll that dice again before the end of the month, or will we give him another shot at redemption next week v Wendies?
Innies and Outies
QPR always seem to have more than a sprinkling of erm, experienced? players in their squad.
Getting them to play a tune together is another matter. That youthful goalie Begovic might have a promising future ahead of him though.

Their main business this winter has been loaning Andre Dozell to Brum.
Dieng went to Boro, Dickie to Brizzle in the Summer
Who's banging 'em in
Former loanee at Town Chris Willock chips in now and again. Ilias Chair is their main danger right now in either the creating or goal scoring department, more so than Dykes, in my opinion. After all, our sectret centre forward has twice as many goals as he has.

They can't all lose
With the FA Cup games there's games all over the place for this match day set of fixtures. L666s have already beaten Norwich on Wednesday, . Rotherham are at Ipswich, Wendies home to Watford. Above us Brum are home to Boro, Smoke at Sunderland, Millwall home to Both Ends. Some games are rescheduled for late February.

We've played 'em before
All square in the League, pity it's not a Cup game. Can we repeat last season's result, where we won 1-2 thanks to two goals from Ruffels?
Obviously, he won't be bagging a brace this season.

Hibs will get a taste of the famous Killie pies later today, but first they need to give Killie a taste of a footballing lesson. The signs are not great following their Dubai jolly. I have never been a fan of hot weather training - let the players earn it by performances on the field, not as an expected perk.
I do expect Maolida, Marcondes and Amos to get more minutes on the park today and maybe a bit of a rummle-up is what is required for the rest of the team. There's not much more to be said that hasn't already been said on just about every thread, so let's get stuck into this dangerous Killie side, beat them and enjoy a succulent pie and chips afterwards (not before, as we've seen enough stodge from Hibs already.

Infuriatingly, a detailed thread I was ready to put up for this match went up in smoke when my laptop crashed mid-post, so it's a lightweight effort done from memory as the FA Cup brings the third Black Country derby of the decade to our doorstep on Sunday morning, delighting vendors of pork scratchings, mild ale and blood-pressure pharmaceuticals everywhere. It's been precisely seventeen years since the last cup tie between the sides - our legendary 3-0 fourth-round win at Molineux was on the same date in 2007 - and you have to go back to February 1949 for the last time the derby was contested with the teams in different divisions (then, as now, Wolves a league above us), so before a ball's even kicked, it's one for the history books.
So much depends on the team selections, and it would be immensely disappointing to see either manager field a weakened XI for such a huge occasion (though Albion are necessarily without Ajayi and Diangana, both at the African Cup of Nations). On paper Wolves are clear favourites on league position alone, together with their current six-match unbeaten streak; nevertheless, we know Albion are strong on home soil this season, are defending the 28-year unbeaten home record against Wolves and have the unpredictability of derby and cup together on our side.
So it's the underdog role for us, and realistically, if we can keep a lid on Pedro Neto and take a draw that keeps honour intact that'll be an excellent result in the circumstances, whatever happens in the subsequent replay. But if the big-money firepower of Wolves prevails on Sunday, so be it; it's not the end of the season or the world. Turn in a good showing and make a game of it, and we can hold our heads high.

FORM GUIDE
LIONS 11 PNE 6
MANAGER
Joe Edwards (born 26 September 1986) is an English professional football manager and former player who is the current head coach of Championship club Millwall.
Playing career
Edwards is a product of Chelsea's youth academy since the age of 8, and worked his way up their youth categories. He was released by the club at the age of 16.[1]
Coaching career
Shortly after being released, Edwards was approached by Neil Bath to join Chelsea's staff in 2004 at the age of 17 and started working on his coaching badges. He initially trained the U8s, and from 2006 to 2014 coached various different youth levels for the club.[2] In 2014 he was appointed the manager of the Chelsea U18s and helped them win 2 consecutive FA Youth Cups.[3] In 2016, he was appointed as loan player manager, and often went out to other clubs to track the development of different loan players, and also exposed him to different managerial styles.[1] On 6 May 2017, he returned to manage the Chelsea U19s and U23s replacing Adi Viveash.[4] In 2017, he was also part of the England U20s backroom staff that helped them win the 2017 Toulon Tournament.[5] In June 2017, he earned his pro license.[6] The following season in 2018, he took the Chelsea U23s to the semifinals for the EFL Trophy, the highest placement so far by a reserve team.[7]
For the 2019–20 season, Edwards was appointed as assistant manager for the first time under Frank Lampard.[8] He remained assistant at Chelsea after Lampard was sacked and Thomas Tuchel was appointed, and was part of the backroom staff as they won the 2020–21 UEFA Champions League.[9] In January 2022, he followed Lampard and was assistant manager with him again at Everton, leaving Chelsea after 27 years associated with the club.[10] In April 2023, he once more returned to Chelsea as assistant under Lampard as he filled in as interim manager. In August 2023, he was appointed as the interim manager for the England U20s.[11] On 6 November 2023, he was appointed as the manager for Championship club Millwall.[12] In his debut game, Edwards led Millwall to a 4–0 win at Sheffield Wednesday, the Lions largest away win in the second tier since 2001.[13]

Who’s Available?
Duane Holmes, Freddie Woodman and Milutin Osmajić are all back involved after missing last Sunday’s match against Leeds United.
Jack Whatmough will be absent through injury again, however he is back training with the group and should be able to return the following weekend at home to Ipswich Town. Ched Evans will also miss out as he looks to strengthen his hamstrings.
Skipper Alan Browne could become the 13th player to reach 400 appearances for PNE this weekend, and would be the second youngest to reach this tally, with only Lee Cartwright doing it sooner.
Opposition Focus
Millwall will be looking to get back on track following three successive defeats, which were preceded by three victories in a row.
Those wins came as part of a five-match unbeaten run which looked to be the turning point for new head coach Joe Edwards, who was appointed in November, following a mixed start to life at The Den.
Edwards – formerly of Chelsea, Everton and England – was left disappointed with their previous outing in a derby day defeat to Queens Park Rangers, saying they weren’t good enough in “pretty much every department”.
A Recent Clash
In the reverse fixture in October 2023, Mads Frøkjær’s early goal was cancelled out by Zian Flemming as the points were shared at Deepdale.
Match Officials

Struggling League Two side Forest Green Rovers have appointed Steve Cotterill as their manager.
The 59-year-old replaces Troy Deeney, who was sacked on 18 January after six games in charge.
Cotterill takes over with the club rooted to the bottom of League Two and facing a battle to preserve their English Football League status.
The Gloucestershire club have not won in their past 12 league games and are six points from safety.
Cotterill has a wealth of experience across the EFL and most recently managed Shrewsbury Town for two and a half years, leaving in June last year.
He spent five years at hometown club Cheltenham Town early in his managerial career, taking them from the Southern League to the Football League for the first time in 1999.
Cotterill also won promotion with Notts County and led Bristol City to the League One and EFL Trophy double in 2015.
His other former clubs include Stoke, Burnley, Portsmouth and Nottingham Forest.
"I'm delighted to welcome Steve Cotterill to FGR. His record speaks for itself with 25 years of experience in all leagues of the EFL, spanning nearly 900 games," said owner Dale Vince.
"Steve knows what it takes and shares our determination to avoid relegation this season. Then build our way back up to League One and looking upward again.
"I'm sure our fans will welcome this appointment and Steve to our club."
Cotterill will take charge of training on Thursday and is expected to be in the dugout for their game against Accrington Stanley.
He becomes Forest Green's sixth manager since June 2022, following Rob Edwards, Ian Burchnall, Duncan Ferguson, David Horseman and Deeney.
Following Deeney's departure, Vince said the club were looking for "experience" in their next boss, after appointing a string of managers who had never managed in the EFL before.
Forest Green have failed to create any stability ever since winning promotion to League One for the first time in 2022 under Edwards, who subsequently left for Watford.
They struggled throughout the campaign in the third tier and were instantly relegated back to League Two.
But the slide has not stopped, with Forest Green winning just four league games so far this season to leave them facing a potential return to the National League.
