No rumour but I’d love for us to sign a left footed winger. Fred was excellent yesterday driving at players and being willing to go to the byline if needs be - there’s no one in the squad who can do that on the left. Would also free up Harvie to play on the underlap (as he did for that lovely goal at Lincoln) and would allow to us to be a more balanced attack, as at the moment, regardless of who is on the left side, they just want to cut inside. Would be another option to keep things mixed up a bit depending on opposition, score etc. Not a clue who that man could be though!
Alex Lowry being rumoured from Rangers by Pete O'Rourke on X. Usually a reliable source.
I'm a Rangers fan and a couple of years ago he was considered something of a wonder kid and the next big hope to come through from the B team. Since then though he's lost his way and there were rumours of attitude problems. A move at this point is probably best for him to reset.
Knowing absolutely nothing about Lowry as a player, I like the thought behind this. Realistically, Humphreys is the only natural 10 in our squad right now and no matter how brilliant he has been, we'd benefit from some competition and equal rotation in that position. I suspect this is also future planning for life after Humphreys.
You never know whats going on in someone's life to make their attitude the way it is. Environment, situation, people around you. Happens in every workplace. Maybe a reset is whats needed.
Well you'd hope that Jack, Gareth & Sam can take him under their wing, get him settled, show him the ropes and plant that seed that he could be excellent for this club and let him grow!
Maybe this is the break that he needs. Being around the same environment when you've just lost a loved one and at an age where his head is all over the place already can't be easy. Hopefully a new environment, new setting & teammates will allow him to discover the passion & skill he showed
More noise from some LT news handle about sniffing around our squad. Given we are starting to see how our ownership operate, and I suspect our legal team are very on the ball, good luck!!

We do have Sadlier returning soon though.
Sadlier would fit that role if fit. He’s great at turning the right back inside out and getting a cross in.
any ideas on when Sads is back ?
He was targeting yesterdays game but was mentioned somewhere he had a setback so assuming a few more weeks.
That is gutting. We are missing him tremendously. It feels like most of our danger is from the right side now.
Mind you, still no idea why we don't try starting Fred on the left, GMac on the right. Maybe too unfair to the opposition?

rangers lad done deal😀
My mate who is a Scotland ST holder and follows them home and away, including U21s, says basically exactly the same.
Morley replacement?
No, totally different type of player. Attacking midfielder, plays as a 10.
For some reason I totally missed your explanation and assumed this for manager!
Sounds promising if his head is back in the game.
What position? Attacking mid?
Yep, as above, plays attacking midfield in behind the striker
A change of environment might be just what he needs and two Scot’s in the way of Jack and Dan if he get’s ’home sick’
Humphries replacement?

Not sure he would have passed the old character test. But maybe a fresh start is exactly what he needs.

I guess we’ll soon find out if a data model can incorporate things like a bad attitude.
A challenge for the new manager.
Brentford managed to get the best of Ivan Toney
Does this give us too many forward / AM options for the rest of the season? Or does it mean that we have a few departures coming up?

He's had it tough. His mum died the other year when he was 19.
Well you'd hope that Jack, Gareth & Sam can take him under their wing, get him settled, show him the ropes and plant that seed that he could be excellent for this club and let him grow!
Also in fairness, Rangers is a complete basket case club.

Fantastic to see that we are still scouring the non-league market, even with Data Dan pulling the strings.

Bloomfield confirms he hasn't made any commitment not to try and buy our players this month. That's not very Mr Wycombe.
We are after a Rangers player https://x.com/SportsPeteO/status/1881288567466647930
