Doubt they'll be starters but they were both a key part of our promotion season and great lads that are popular amongst the team and fans, very good squad players to have.

Front 6 is tough to pick, still got Reece Brown who's had a great pre season, Van La Parra, Quaner, Kachunga, Mbenza, Koroma and Mounie... plus some promising youngsters. Some great depth there but still...
We've had a really good pre season. Wins against Hamburg, Greuther Fürth, Rochdale, Donny, Cov and draws against Wolves and Montpellier.
Feeling more confident now, certainly haven't looked like we're on a downward spiral.
I guess if you add our draws against Man Utd and Soton from the end of...
Yep, summed it up for us there. After the start we had we can't afford to lose at home to Brighton then lose an away game dominate.
Totally bored of compliments about performances... can't fault our effort tonight but sadly I just can't see us getting enough points this season.
We play...
Good time to play Bournemouth? On the back of 4 successive defeats... possibly. I view Bournemouth as a side that has a buzz/energy about their play which gets better with confidence. So we need to frustrate them to begin with.
Good time to play us? Probably! We're all pissed off after...
Sounds like a decent replacement unfortunately. Worked his way succesfully up from the lower leagues, good job at Ingolstadt, then a 2nd place finish with newly promoted Leipzig.
After a brief read up on him though he does appear to have had a couple of board disagreements in his past...
Off...
Great stuff, gone from being dead and buried to 14th in 3 games! And some favourable fixtures coming up.
Forget who we are or how big you think we are, we looked like a good mid table Premier League club today and thoroughly deserved it. Not bad for the 2nd or 3rd worst team in the league.
Blimey that was a bit shite, but first home goal and league win for 7 months felt good. Need to improve though, we've played a lot better than that and lost this season.
Only team in the country yet to win this season :ds:
Fair to say we HAVE to win this. No goals in NINE home games but surely we can score against Fulham's defence?!
Ourselves, Cardiff, Fulham, Newcastle, Southampton and Burnley all look shocking at the moment. Like really bad.
We need to win our next 2 games, Fulham and West Ham at home. We've won 3 games in 30 and not scored in 9 home games so it's unlikely but we need to turn a corner and fast. If we do...
We're so unfortunate to only have 3 points. Overall we're performing better than we did in the corresponding fixtures last season but getting so luck at all and not taking chances. I still have faith that the results will come so definitely wouldn't write us off yet. The bottom 3 this time last...
4 goals in 16 games. 1 goal scored in our last 8 home games. Backing us to beat Derby's record of 20 goals scored in a season (we will get more than 11 points though!).
Bit of pressure on both teams here. Palace have lost 3 in a row, 4 would be worrying, and they have some injury worries, really hoping Zaha and Tomkins won't be ready!
We meanwhile are still winless and have Leicester A and Spurs H next which I don't see us winning, certainly don't want to be...
Had a great pre season and forced his way into the side, probably been our best player so far this season. Had a few injuries last season so was unlucky. His attitude has been questioned in the past, hopefully eradicated now.
Really important for Wolves to get that first win. West Ham... wtf? My tip for 7th is looking gone already. 0 points at home to Bournemouth and Wolves.
There's always clubs that struggle when have trouble behind the scenes but after their positive summer I thought that was behind them. Or maybe...
