Always liked Yaser Kasim for Swindon but their local rag had a summary of each player for their player of the year vote that said this about him: "Yaser Kasim: Fell out of favour around Christmas and, in the last season of his contract, has appeared to be winding down his stay at the club."

 

Their keeper won the vote with 68%:  "Lawrence Vigouroux: Has been a pivotal figure in his first season as a permanent player at the club, recording 11 clean sheets to keep Swindon alive in games."

Tommy Lee may come in as our new GK. Although has been out of favour I believe this year?

 

In January:



The bad news comes for a fan favourite however, custodian Lee potentially missing the entire 2016/17 season.
He had shoulder surgery in the summer but has had complications and the latest has knocked him back again in his attempt to add to his tally of 366 games as a Spireite.

Having played more than 50 games in each of the last three Chesterfield campaigns, it will be a bitter blow for the 31-year-old to sit out this season.

“He’s working extremely hard with Roger and the medical team,” said Caldwell.

“He’s had a couple of complications with his shoulder injury and we want to take it slow and make sure that when he comes back he is 100 per cent ready to play and to train.

“That’s one that will probably be a bit longer term.

Swindon had a fast winger who caused us  problems  at their place.

and the left back/wing back Ormond Ottweill. has caused mayhem against us for the past 2 seasons and hasn't been catching recently. Think he might have had a disciplinary issue with social media if i recall.

Also George Thomas striker at Coventry. might be out of our league though (metaphorically as well as literally)

MK Dons have released quite a few. Possibly because they don't want to pay them what they want. Bowditch Martin and Potter would be of interest but doubtful we'd be able to meet their demands

Bowditch is a good shout. He seems to have been around forever and seems to score against us always.

What about the other end of the spectrum? Raiding the promoted ? Sure there will be plenty not deemed good enough for the championship but good enough for what will hopefully be a decent league one side ? 

Good shout, fat boy Billy Sharp is out of contract :OASISscarf: he'd do a job for us.

Leon Clarke would score a boatload next to AAH. What's his contract status?

yep but only in the first 3 months and last 2 months of the season. doesn't score a goal between November and March

Looking at the squads of the bottom four, with the exception of a few Swindon players, it makes sense why they're going down...

Agreed. Other than those already mentioned, I honestly can't think of any player at the relegated (or, nearly relegated) clubs that would improve us.

 

At the top, how about Noblot's Dean Moxey, Gary Madine and Ben Alnwick? Probably out of our reach, but they're all far too good for League 1.

I never noticed that tbh but will take your word for it. Bet it would still be enough to have been our top scorer for the last god knows how many seasons though.
