Bullen, who has led the team to successive victories since the departure of previous incumbent Jos Luhukay, believes that freshening up the squad could be the catalyst to the team kicking on in the second half of the campaign.
"I don't think there's any harm in a new face here or there." Bullen said.
"The players have shown the last two games they can battle it out with the best teams.

"The last thing you want is players getting comfy.
"You want them under pressure."
Bullen is expected to be in the dugout for the trip to the Hawthorns, despite constant speculation linking Steve Bruce with the vacancy at Hillsborough.
A deal is thought to be close to completion but Bullen says he is more than happy to continue taking the team until told otherwise.
"Obviously, I'm aware of the speculation," the Scot added.
"But what will be, will be.
"I'll keep going as long as I'm asked to keep going."
