Grogan sat out today's FA Cup second qualifying round tie at home to league rivals Hednesford Town because he was cup-tied after playing for Cammell Laird in the previous round.

But the 24-year-old will be recalled having impressed on his debut, a 4-1 win at home to Colwyn Bay last weekend, and in Tuesday's goalless draw at home to Worcester.

Watson said: "Mike has had to sit this one out but he will go straight back in for the next league game. Before he came, we weren't creating chances.

"People don't think bringing in a holding player changes that, but he's reinforced our attacking options."

Watson will also be able to call upon another midfielder, Russell Benjamin, as today's game represents the last of a three-match suspension.
