Two of Neil Warnock's emergency signings when he joined the club will leave in January.
Kieran Richardson and Marouane Chamakh are set to leave the club after when their short term contracts are up.
Both arrived at the club along with Jumior Hoilett and Sol Bamba as Warnock looked to bring in his own players as soon as he became manager. But the gamble on Richardson and Chamakh has not paid off.
"I will speak to those two," Warnock said.
"It is important I get the right balance. I am not 100% but I think both lads understand. They are two I could get off the wage bill, so chances are, I will be releasing them.
"I feel a bit sorry for Chamakh, but at the time when I came in, I felt we needed an influx of players. I wasn't aware of Emyr Huws or Declan John, as they were away with the Welsh squads.
"I didn't think we had cover for Rickie Lambert, but then I was impressed with Kenneth Zohore in training so brought him into the team.
"[Richardson and Chamakh] have been good professionals, but we need to manipulate this squad and those two are easy as their contracts are up. They will both find clubs."
