Boss Jim Magilton has confirmed that he will continue to add to his squad outside the transfer window. The Blues currently have Bury Town defender Ian Miller, Dutch centre-half Joey Van Den Berg and striker Njazi Kuqi on trial.

Magilton told the club site: "It's certainly not an end to the new arrivals. I still think we lack a little depth in the squad and I have money to spend to bring more players in.

"We also have some very good young players here who are pushing hard to be involved. Billy Clarke was given a chance at QPR and did well, Danny Haynes is progressing and hopefully that goal at Loftus Road will help Dean Bowditch get back to where we want him to be.

"There are 16 and 17-year-olds here who are making great strides as well. Yes, they are only boys, but we have great belief in them and will continue to help them develop and see how far we can take them."

The 16 and 17-year-olds likely to have caught Magilton's eye are probably midfielders Jai Reason and Edward Upson. The pair were used as substitutes in last night's reserve victory at Stevenage Borough.
