On Alan Devonshire
Alan Devonshire is a West Ham United legend, having made almost 400 appearances for the Hammers between 1976 and 1990. The former England midfielder made his way into management in 1995 taking over at Osterley. He has since had spells at Brentford Women, Maidenhead United, Hampton & Richmond Borough and Braintree Town. Devonshire made his return to the Magpies in 2015 and guided them to promotion to the National League in 2017.
One to watch
One of Maidenhead’s homegrown talents, Reece Smith, has been one of the bright sparks so far for the Magpies this season. Having already made 85 appearances at the age of 21, the winger is one to watch at York Road.

View from the dugout
Danny Webb said: “We go down there and we play our normal game. We understand their threat, understand our record there, and try and put it right.
“We understand that we don’t have a good record there. We want to turn a corner with that record tomorrow.”
