what needs to change, now and in Jan

This squad hasn't become useless overnight. The problem is the extreme lack of balance in it. There are players here who are good at their jobs, the problem is they are all doing the same job or being asked to do something they aren't natural at
Eg. Our "Wingbacks" being not attacking, bacuna being asked to be an attacking winger when he's not. A midfield of pack and ralls being asked to somehow be creative etc.
We've got about 50-75% of a team that could be competitive, they just need to be complemented with a different style of player to do the things they are good at and allow our current pros the ability to stick to the things they are good at. Yes it means we don't have our "best" (debatable) players all out at the same time but the balance is more important for a team performance.
Anyone who comes in will realistically have to be cheap but if we have a spine of a decent team, which I still think is in there somewhere, who stick to what they are good at, even some League 1 level players to complement that should see us safe from relegation at least.
Something like the line up below
---------------smithies/Philips------------------
NG----flint/Morrison---McGuiness---Bagan/new LB
---------------pack-------ralls-----------------
Evans/new RW--------colwil/new CAM--------Giles
---------------------Moore-----------------------
