Town Development XI currently in action at Supermarine against Cheltenham. Thomas, Smith, Murray and Delf playing. Matt Edwards doing live Twitter feed, if anyone's interested. Score currently 2 - 0 (Tom Smith 13m, Jack Stanley 45m).

So... if we're going to be buying players, let's hope that's done early in January and that we don't end up with the dregs that no-one else wants at the end of the month.

As we're seemingly headed towards a half-season-pre-season, who do we think are essentially finished at Swindon, who are untouchable, who could improve with new players around then etc

Probably different from who fans think should be jettisoned and who the club do.
My take - Delf, Thomas, BOO, Sharpe, Rodgers aren't up to it
Murray, Goddard, Norris, Branco should be kept
Kasim and Obika should be sold if possible
I like Brophy but something is amiss health-wise.
As for the gotta keeps - Vigs, Thompson, Doughty and Jones (hopefully see out their season-long loans)
Hylton's super performance on Saturday should be enough to warrant an extended run in the side.
It's the midfield we need to sort out - forwards at our level don't create their own chances, they need someone to do it for them.
Need CB option, ditto striker, ditto wingback. 4 decent additions should sort it.

I suggest Branco is decent cover and Thomas is young and may still come good consistently, shame we wont be able to get a refund on Norris I'd suggest we need 5-6 players minimum depending who we get rid of, we need to remember this is the last window so we need enough strength to avoid relegation. Hopefully they wont all be youth prem reserves and Tim stick to what was said and gets 2 or 3 experienced players

Almost impossible to call given no indication of budget/number in/out.
To go: - Delph. Pointless wen played as striker - Murray. Disappointing.To be honest Rodgers is more proven shite, but he seems to be more in favour and one has to go to make way for someone who can tackle. - Sharpe (gone already?),
In danger : Norris - I hope he's turned the corner. He may turn out great. But besides a single game he's thus far been hopeless in the league. Rodgers - see Murray above
Absolutely critical to keep : Obika- despite his injuries. Despite being out of contract. On current form I'd still rate him more likely to win us more points than the other options. Vigs, Thompson. Latter not everyone's favourite, but still of massive importance in my eyes
Depends which one turns up: Kasim - a class above everyone else Vs can't be arsed and often injured
I realise at least one of Kasim and Obika are on most peoples "get rid of" list. And I'd agree if I thought quality replacements would be brought in. But based on what we have seen thus far re quality/experience .....
I'm taking the loanees as here for the season .

Build the team around (in an ideal world):
Vigs, Thompson, Jones, Thomas (has been excellent every time I've seen him. This is 4 times, however), Doughty, Murray, Kasim, Goddard, Obika
Keep, for now or later and revisit in the summer- "strength" in depth rather than key players:
Norris, Smith, Iandolo, Stewart, Henry, Delf, Boo, Hylton (last chance saloon), Barry, JSW... and Furlong I guess. Plus the kids - Young etc.
Melt down for glue:
Branco, Rodgers, Brophy, Sharpe (doesn't really seem to have had an impact)
So in January, would love to see a CB, another versatile defender, a LB, and a ST at least.

I'd keep Nathan, and probably Branco,. but the rest can go as far as I'm concerned. I suspect over the course of Jan and post season most will be gone, including Nathan.

Yeah, I like Branco. He's a kind of Div 3 David Luiz.
