Boss hopeful duo can stay

The duo's month-long loan spell ends later in October and Laws is keen on keeping the duo at Hillsborough.

Defender Johnson won the man-of-the-match award in his first game, the victory against Hull where Kavanagh also stamped his authority in midfield for the first time.

Since then, they have both played well and being arguably the best two players in the last month at Hillsborough as results have started to slide again following back-to-back wins against Hull and Norwich.

Both players have admitted they would like to stay at S6 beyond their original spell with Johnson in particular, stating he would love the chance of an 18-month deal.
