Coventry City CEO Steve Waggott has said that the club want to bring in players when the January transfer window opens.
Writing in his programme notes for City's game versus Fleetwood Town, Mr Waggott wrote: "We are not looking to make excuses but the recruitment drive in the summer was based on another season away from the city and the cost restraints that brought. Some of the players we brought into the squad have undoubtedly strengthened the squad whilst others haven't quite fitted into the Pressley/MacFarlane model.
"In January, we want to bring players in, hopefully make permanent some of the players we have on loan and, also extend the loan of one or two already here. On top of that, we are also in talks with members of the squad whose contracts are up next summer with a view to keeping them here.
"We know recruitment is an area where we must continually improve and we have a network of scouts in plce now where we believe we can identify the best targets for the first team and also for academy and development levels.
"In League One, the approach to recruitment comes down to the 3A's - abilty, availability and affordability. Gettng the balance right between those three can be an art as it is a science and the work we do in January in getting that correct will have a big bearing on the rest of the season.
"Of course, we also understand that our players will be targets for other clubs from higher leagues and that is another factor that we have to weigh up and consider as we plan for January.
"It's going to be another busy period of activity and I will, once again do everything I possibly can to support Steven and Neil in improving the squad."
