City in rumoured move for Stockport striker

CARDIFF CITY are being linked with Stockport County's forward Anthony Pilkington after suggestions that Dave Jones has made a bid for the player with the club where he started his managerial career.

Pilkington, 20 this summer, has made an impact on the North West scoring 16 goals in 63 starts + 14 sub league outings for the Manchester based club. He has been a regular this season netting 6 goals but 3 have come in his last 2 games as the League One side currently stand in 7th spot and on the verge of the play-off race for the Championship

Don't know much about him, more if this develops.

600 UP FOR DAVE JONES TODAY

This afternoon's massive visit to Reading will be Dave Jones' 600th game in management in a career that has taken in, and brought success, at each of his clubs - that's Stockport, Southampton, Wolves and, currently, as the Championship's longest serving manager with Cardiff City.

He's a dour character who doesn't see rapport with the fans as a major requirement but you can't deny, on balance, he has done well.

Congrats Dave ... now get us 3 points today!
