Tracking our (outbound) loan players 24/25

Total side note, but this weird non league structure made me curious about how AFC Darwen were doing these days, so I took a look at their league and got momentarily confused...there's an Ashton Athletic there, so I thought I was looking at the 7th tier again...but there's also an Ashton Town there. And of course the 7th tier has Ashton United. It seems Ashton really excels at producing crap football clubs...or so I thought. The 7th tier sides are in Ashton-in-Makerfield, Ashton United are in Ashton-under-Lyne. Both come under Greater Manchester apparently but they're 28 miles apart. Not a lot of originality in naming going on between the Ashtons and the numerous Premier Leagues, maybe the same people named them all!

Robbie Savage talking about James Edmondson's loan at Macclesfield before last nights match

Starts this evening for

Vale drew 0-0 - Vale played the first 60odd minutes before being subbed off with the game at 0-0 in his first start since returning from injury.

Saadi - drew 2-2 - Saadi has now started the last 6 in all competitions, Its only Cyprus, and given that an aging Matt Derbyshire did "ok" there in his spell at AEK before moving to Bradford in League 2, I am guessing that it is probably on some sort of par with the 4th tier here, but he is doing ok for himself there by the looks of things.
