Hull City boss Steve Bruce started last night's Europa League clash with AC Trencin with new signings Robert Snodgrass and Thomas Ince on the bench.
Hull drew 0-0 for their Euro debut.
A familiar starting XI was given first chance at Trencin before the new arrivals entered the fray with 25 minutes remaining.
Bruce said: "I decided the boys who got us here deserved it.
"We'll have a bit of competition for places because they (Snodgrass and Ince) did well enough to deserve a start when they get going but a week is a long time in football, so we'll see.
