' Sory Kaba and Connor Wickham '
By Glen Williams
Both players have effectively come in from the cold.
Connor Wickham's career has been largely wrecked by injury up until this point, and after leaving Forest Green Rovers earlier this term, he would have been forgiven for wondering if he'd ever get a run out at this level again.
He's been given a real chance to show he still has something to offer in the Championship, and this style of football might well be suited to his strengths.
Similarly, Kaba has arrived following a somewhat mixed spell at Midtjylland, and has been given an opportunity to make his mark on English football.
There feels like a genuine hunger to impress from both players, and things just feel a bit fresher in the final third with them as options.
Both appear to be firmly in Lamouchi's blueprint for the rest of the season.
