UP to four Town players could be off-loaded during the January transfer window as new boss Danny Wilson looks for an immediate turnaround in fortunes at the County Ground.

As of yesterday morning, clubs are allowed to trade again and have until the beginning of February to finalise their squads for the remainder of the season.

With Swindon sat just a place and a point outside the League One relegation zone, Wilson has already spoken of his desire to freshen up his playing staff sooner rather than later with new faces.

And the Advertiser understands any incomings will have to be balanced out by departures as the County Ground chiefs try to keep the wage bill under control.

The futures of midfielder Lilian Nalis and defender Yinka Casal are under threat, while Blair Sturrock and Michael Pook may also find themselves back on the fringes of the first team squad despite having been involved recently.

After being appointed manager on Boxing Day, Wilson told the Advertiser last week that the timespan he has to judge his players is shorter than normal and that he would have to make some quick decisions.

He admitted: "If we were sat here at the start of June and had the whole of pre-season to look at players then it's a bit easier.

"But when you are coming in at this stage of the season the timespan becomes a lot shorter, and I think the impact has to be made straight away.

Swindon Town's new manager Danny Wilson has said he is excited by the potential at the County Ground.

Wilson, who saw his side lose at home to Brighton in his first game in charge on Sunday, told BBC Radio Swindon: "The potential here is obvious.

"The ambition is great from my point of view and the rest of the board's.

"When the chairman made the phone call to myself from then onwards I was very positive about the situation. I don't think it took long to make my mind up."
