Players/Tactic advice needed for Yeovil Town

[gloverdingle]

Hi guys, I'm a new forum member and this is also the first FM game I have bought, so I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to Football Manager.

I am currently half way through my 1st season in a Yeovil Town save (the team I personally support) and am struggling just above the relegation zone in League One. I will post my current team and tactics I am using, after much tinkering I've finally settled on a 4-2-3-1 assymetric formation with a focus on counter attacking.

I have just entered the January transfer window, but have no real wage budget or transfer budget to play with so I need to offload some higher earners in order to bring in some new blood. Any tactical or transfer advice much appreciated.
