Quite liked Sobowale but it is was fairly clear Holloway wasn't keen so no surprise. So who will fill in at RB while McGregor is out? Snowdon?

I think you and i both predicted his exit, so this was very much expected. Also creates room for other recuitment.
We did back in May, I think he has potential but without the ability to follow orders he was never going to get regular game time with us, a move will suit both parties.

Absolutely between those 2 yes, Snowdon being a way more attacking option though more winger than wingback. |

No mention of a fee so I suppose it’s a contract termination?

Was top of my list of expected outgoings from the contracted players this summer.
Nothing against him, seems a nice guy and hope he does well in Scotland. Needs to start regularly at his age and won’t get it here.
Butterworth the other one who I wouldn’t be surprised if they were to depart for similar reasons.

The Moonraker article mentioned Snowdon has impressed in the RWB role, perhaps it’s Snowdon vs McGregor for the spot this season. |

Sobowale off to St Mirren
Not surprised, good luck to Tunmise. No. 2 shirt up for grabs? |

Strange one, wouldn't have been at all surprised to see him leave a month ago but all the mood music since then has been positive. Neither here nor there one, wouldn't have minded him staying at all but don't think it's a huge loss either.
Pre Holloway he got a lot of MOTM votes in bad sides. Clearly not quite what Holloway was looking for but we've had much worse.

Sobowale's pace was useful in playing a high line, but he would on occasions switch off. I think his downfall was his lack of beating his marker to put in a cross. He would always check inside slowing the attack in the manner of Tyrese Shade. Smudger, Tabor and co. need the ball played in front of them with a retreating defense. That requires pace and first-time crossing ability to consistently make assists. |

Perhaps it was the inability to follow instructions that made Sobowale stand out as one of our best players under Kennedy.
I liked him, but trust Holloway to get it right.

I liked him too, he had several MotM awards earlier on last season IIRC. St. Mirren are no mugs good luck to him, but Holloway wants something different, apparently. |

Fine with this, as long as he's replaced by an actual right back.
We can't go into the season with an injured McGregor and Snowdon who's a midfielder
