Crewe did ask Blackburn Rovers boss Mark Hughes if Taylor could play in the FA Cup game away to Bradford but Hughes refused.
Although Mark Hughes looks set to have other plans for the former academy player and it seems that Hughes's former Man United team mate and Birmingam City manager Steve Bruce may swoop for the player during the transfer window in January.
Another loan player, Isaac Osbourne looks to have played his last game with the Railwaymen. Injury has forced the midfielder to receive treatment at his parent club Coventry City and players coming back from injury mean that Gradi may not extend his loan.
