Assuming SE is allowed to stay on and preside over the January transfer window, what are the key positions he needs to address? We don't normally do too much business in this window and looking at the last few, there's very little quality that has come into the club, although some good players have left (Barlaser for instance).

I personally think our current squad is not too bad in terms of quality - the style they're being forced to play doesn't get anywhere like the best out of them. So I'd be looking to offload players who offer the least quality;

Hugill
McWilliams
MacDonald
Phillips

My priority for incoming would be;

A midfield general in the style of Kelly but younger and fitter
A centre forward in the Michael Smith mould who can hold the ball up and bring Nombe/Wilkes into play
A young keeper with potential to develop into the first team.

We also need to resolve the Osong situation. If for any reason he isn't willing to play, return him and get in another loanee forward.
