January transfer window signings Tony Grant and Madjid Bougherra will both continue their push towards the first team this afternoon as they get run outs for the Reserves against Notts County.

The pair both produced impressive performances for the second string in last weeks friendly against Walsall at Reaseheath, and will look to impress manager Dario Gradi and his coaching staff once again this afternoon.

Grant, who made his return in that Walsall clash following several months out with a broken ankle, will be hoping to get a full 90 minutes under his belt against the Magpies as he pushed for a place in central midfield with the first team, whilst Bougherra will be aiming for a solid performance in central defence to boost his chances of appearing at Molinuex against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Darren Moss, Chris McCready, Eddie Johnson and Michael Higdon will also be amongst the side as they look to make an impression, whilst youngsters Robert Lloyd and Michael O'Connor are set to start in midfield.
