Lowery won't be travelling anywhere with Crewe at the moment. He's been frozen out and didn't even feature in pre-season games as he won't sign a new contract.Cafc43v3r said:
I heard he was in Crewe, not at Oxford.AFKABartram said:
No one seems to have considered we play Crewe in 2 games time so he might not have been scouting for potential signings. Could have pre-game prep for future opponentSwisdom said:So do we have any idea who Steve Gallen was scouting last night? He was definitely off watching someone. If, as rumours suggested, he was at Crewe then it was a wasted journey watching Dale as he was "sick" apparently
Neither Dale nor Lowery traveled to Oxford but that's pure speculation on my part. It could be that Crewe is a convenient place to meet representatives of clubs and players based in the North West in regards to different signings.
Or he could have a bit on the side there....0 -
I know that which means he is highly likely to be in Crewe, or the surrounding area yesterday......LargeAddick said:

If Cawleys tweet is accurate, he wouldn’t be scouting anyone, he would be negotiating a deal - either with the selling club or the player and his agent.Swisdom said:So do we have any idea who Steve Gallen was scouting last night?

You’ve totally missed the point. If as suggested there is nepotism from Roddy then I would hope those two, manager and assistant manager to say I’m not having that. What’s this coup bollox about.ElliotCAFC said:

Can we add Roddy (x2) and Keohane to the exit list?CL_Phantom said:Rumours round up?
Rumours in
Henderson - training with us, was alleged to have signed about 2 weeks ago.
Blackett- Taylor - league 2 winger on trial.
Not exactly inspiring, Blackett-taylor hasn't exactly set league 2 "on fire", prefer a more "ready" player as back up over the youth as think they benefit more from a well measured introduction, but, if that's the bench warmer/ competition for DJ/Washington/Kirk then might as well leave that spot for Clayden and Ghandor and alternate them on the bench. Especially if there's a budget constraint and the need for more signings.
Henderson... Injuries are an issue but I guess you wouldn't expect him to play much, again, do you keep Harness on the bench instead and manage that money better.
Rumours out - like the ins we've not heard a peep about any of our players being sniffed at, in particular, Schwartz.
We're all expecting him to be off but there hasnt been a whisper of him going, either perm or loan, you'd imagine given his recent personal life changes and the fact he doesn't look fancied by Adkins, that his agent would be working his nuts off to get him out, but, nope. Nothing. Zippo.
Personally think he isn't leaving, a touch of Sandgaard influence perhaps.3 -

A man of his integrity surely would have advised we get him in the U18/U23s and have a look before you go offering him a contract.
The speed at which he's got in the door stinks if you ask me.2 -
We've just signed a player from Crewe, for all we know he's there tidying things up in regards to Kirk, maybe even meeting his family given the recent news, it's not like we have a CEO to do all that, and Gallen was pretty active in all sorts when he was appointed DOF to begin with.

I agree, there’s certainly an aspect that leads me to believe he’s been fast tracked - but I don’t have enough evidence to start pointing fingers or protest anything.carly burn said:

Load of bollocks .. Roddy played at Southampton. then went into non league .. Roddy never worked at Southampton and never took him to Reading …. what people seem to forget is that Adkins would have final say on players who play in the team / squad and of those he don’t want anymore so if Roddy was not good enough ( seen him in ore season and he done very well ) he would not be here no matter who is dad wasLonelyNorthernAddick said:

Adkins doesn't want to make a roddy for his own back.15

Yeah, as much as the whole thing about Roddy Jr getting a contract is a bit odd (to say the least) I'm not sure we can go as far as saying Daddy is somehow responsible for getting him game time as well.ElliotCAFC said:

For one thing, why would Gunter be playing there at all if that were the case? I can't see how Roddy Sr has the weirdly specific amount of influence to interfere with team selection but only in some games.
Secondly, why would Adkins go along with it? He's already proved willing to leave a job if he's got issues with interference from above but now he's suddenly lost his spine? Doesn't seem likely.
I think Junior got given a chance on his own merits and probably blew it, frankly.2 -

The bigger issue / question is whether Ged has delayed the acquisition of a new left back to give his son a game. I don’t know enough about the u23s or u18s to know if there was a better natural left back to play in the cup game who may have been “held back” by JR playing that game or making the league squad. If he is all we have then I have no problem with NA over the team selection.ElliotCAFC said:

I don't believe Adkins plays any part in the recruitment whatsoever - he only met Kirk for the first time after he'd signed.RonnieMoore said:
No he don’t .. NA identity who he wants and SG director of football goes about getting his targets in …J BLOCK said:Roddy is now in charge of identifying players and Gallen does the negotiations. Gallen’s role has changed which is evident from the dross we’ve signed this summer.5
