Exeter City manager Gary Caldwell does not envisage major additions to his squad next month.

The Grecians are 15th in League One having won just one of their last nine League One matches, though all the games they have not won have come against sides in the top 10.

Last January Exeter brought in six players either permanently or on loan including Millenic Alli, Ryan Woods and Ben Purrington.

"We won't have much in terms of finances to change a lot," Caldwell told BBC Radio Devon after his side's loss to Barnsley.

"So it won't be wholesale, it won't be lots in and out.

"But there will be possibly one or two coming in to try and give the team more energy, more quality and just freshen it up a little bit.

"It won't be like it was 12 months ago where there's wholesale changes, which I think is a good thing because January is a difficult month to get things done."
