Re: Alex Lowry signs
Of course, it's never going to be perfect. I just don't see why an increased budget means we have to abandon principles that have worked so well for over 10 years. Anyway my previous comment wasn't aimed at Lowry, I don't anything about the kid, I'm sure he'll latch on to the Wycombe way.
Re: Alex Lowry signs
Gaz and Dobbo didn't always get the character test 100% right though. Alex Jakubiak, Jason Banton, and Josh Parker all spring to mind
Re: Alex Lowry signs
It limited us in a good way, and I will be disappointed if this "less selective" approach is going to be a regular thing.
I suppose senior pros like Bradley aren't allowed to pin a young player acting up against a wall anymore....

Big club, a chance to build something and local to here (just over half an hour away).
Re: New Manager Vote
‘No disrespect to….’ must be the most insincere phrase in the English vocabulary because you know it will be followed by a disrespectful comment. In this case disrespectful and ridiculous.
Re: Alex Lowry from Rangers to join ?
To be fair, the Old Firm dominance has always been there. That run of Dundee United, Aberdeen, Aberdeen in the 80s was the longest period of neither Celtic nor Rangers winning the title - ever.
Re: Alex Lowry signs
When I look back to how I was when I was 18,19,20 and 21 and then if you were to sprinkle on top a mother that dies of cancer and living in the lime light of one of the top two football teams in your country, I would be more surprised if there aren’t rumours of your attitude being lacking at times. Shows you’re human.
To echo a theme in Brian Jeeves post, let’s try and be understanding of the lad if he’s made a few questionable decisions, we don’t know what he was going through at the time and I rather suspect it’s more than most of us will ever know.
This may well be the change the young man needs in his life to make a new start we would all love to be able to make at times in our lives.
And the one thing with someone like Jack Grimmer as your captain you can be sure of, we still do have some excellent characters in the squad. Even if we are adding heavily to it
Re: Alex Lowry signs
I do wonder how much the 'character test' limited us in terms of signings in the past. There's still a threshold, and I'd hope we wouldn't sign someone like a Mason Greenwood, for example, but I'm glad we're being less selective.
