SHEFFIELD TRUST ISSUES WARNING OVER E-SCOOTERS Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust, Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool and Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital release data from a five-year study on e-scooter injuries. Clinicians from three of England’s major children’s trauma centres are urging families to be aware of the risks of using e-scooters, after new research revealed a dramatic rise in e-scooter injuries among children. The study, published in the Emergency Medicine Journal, analysed data from January 2019 to December 2024 at three major children’s trauma centres including Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust. They identified 477 children who attended hospital following an e-scooterrelated injury, with annual

cases rising from fewer than 10 in 2019 to almost 150 in 2024. The average age of injured children was 12 years old, with half aged between 10 and 13. Nearly two-thirds (64.5%) were boys. The findings also revealed that fewer than 2% of riders were reported to be wearing a helmet at the time of their injury. While rental e-scooters are only available to people aged 16 and over as part of government trial schemes, privately owned e-scooters are widely used by children despite being illegal to ride on public roads, pavements and other public spaces. They say the growing number of injuries highlights an emerging public health challenge and are urging clearer public education, stronger enforcement and a review of current legislation.

Among the key findings: • 95% of injuries involved the rider. • 80% involved privately owned e-scooters. • 75% were caused by falls from the e-scooter. • Nearly 12% resulted from a collision with another vehicle. • 5% involved pedestrians struck by an e-scooter. • More than half of incidents occurred on public land, including roads, pavements and parks. Injuries to the arms and legs were the most common, but almost one in four (24%) children suffered a head injury and nearly one in five (18.5%) sustained facial injuries. One in ten head injuries was serious enough to require imaging, hospital admission and, in some cases, surgery. Overall, the impact on

hospital services was significant: • Nearly 65% of children required medical imaging. • More than 13% were admitted to hospital. • 7% required surgery. The study also found that three-quarters (74%) of injured children lived in areas of the greatest social and economic deprivation. While the study did not investigate the reasons behind this, the finding highlights that e-scooter injuries are disproportionately affecting children from more disadvantaged communities, which underlines the importance of clearer public health messaging and education to help reduce injuries and improve safety for children. Dr Lisa Sabir, Emergency Medicine doctor and researcher at Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation

Trust, said: “Behind every one of these statistics is a child and a family who face a potentially distressing and unexpected trip to hospital. We know that families want to keep their children safe, and don’t want to come to our Emergency Department with these injuries, but sadly we are seeing more. “We need to make it easier for children, young people and their families to understand where e-scooters can and cannot be used, and the risks involved. Clearer, consistent information, alongside appropriate legislation, road safety measures and greater use of helmets, could help families make informed decisions and, ultimately, prevent children from being injured.”

Doncaster dad raises over £170,000 as tribute to beloved wife When Acker Shaw’s wife Brenda passed away in 2000 from breast cancer, he pledged to raise £52,000: £1,000 for every year of Brenda’s life. Brenda had spent five years going through treatment at Weston Park Cancer Centre, and Acker wanted to raise money to thank the hospital for the ‘exceptional care’ it provided. After reaching his original target in 2018, Acker decided to continue raising funds to help the one in two people in our

region who will receive a cancer diagnosis. Over the past 26 years, he’s collected donations at thousands of football fixtures and raised more than £170,000 for the charity. In 2022, he was named as a Weston Park Cancer Charity patron, in recognition of his tireless commitment to our cause. Known for his signature pirate hat, on matchdays Acker can be found with his trusty collection bucket in hand come rain or shine.

This year, he recorded his highest annual fundraising total – with £20k collected at 140 sporting events. The money Acker has raised will help Weston Park to provide practical, emotional, and financial support to local people facing cancer. It will also enable them to invest in ground-breaking research and treatment enhancements for Weston Park Cancer Centre. Acker’s remarkable achievement was celebrated at the 2026

Weston Park Cancer Charity Race Evening, where he was presented with his latest fundraising cheque. Never one to rest on his laurels, Acker has big plans for the future and has announced his intentions to raise a quarter of a million pounds for Weston Park Cancer Charity! Acker said: “When I first set out on my fundraising mission, I wasn’t sure if I’d reach my £52,000 goal. So, to have raised over £170,000 for Weston Park Cancer Charity feels

absolutely amazing. “I’ve met wonderful people on this journey, and I want to thank every single person who’s donated and all of the football clubs that have supported me.

“Everything I do is in

tribute to Brenda, who I miss dearly. If I can make life easier for just one person going through treatment, then I’ll be happy.”

My online dating bio says that I have a corner office with views of the entire city, drive a £500,000 vehicle, and that I’m paid to travel. My dates are always upset when I tell them I’m a bus driver. After all these years, my wife still thinks I’m sexy. Every time I walk by she says: “What an ass!” My wallet is like an onion. When I open it, it makes me cry. I used to be addicted to time travel. But that’s all in the past now. I challenged the number 1 to a fight, but he brought his friends 3, 5, 7, and 9. The odds were against me. I was feeling bad about the future today, but then I installed the new version of office. It improved my outlook. I’m not wearing glasses anymore. I’ve seen enough. My mate says I’m getting fat, but in my defence... I’ve had a lot on my plate recently.

Tour de France Grand Départ trophy is coming to Sheffield

Sheffield residents and visitors will have the chance to see the Tour de France Grand Départ trophy up close when it visits Meadowhall on Tuesday 25 August. The trophy is touring the UK ahead of the 2027 Grand Départs of the Tour de France and Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift, which will bring some of the world's best cyclists to Britain and to Sheffield. Visitors will be able to see the trophy in person, take photographs with it and find out more about the 2027 races. Representatives from the Grand Départ GB 2027 team will also be available to share information about volunteering opportunities for the event. The Grand Départ trophy is presented each year to the next host of the Tour de France. Last month, British cycling legends Lizzie Deignan and Sir Mark Cavendish received the trophy in Paris on behalf of Great Britain, following the conclusion of the 2026 Tour de France. itain will host both the men's and women's Grand Départs in 2027, the first time both races have started in the same country outside France. Sheffield will host the finish of Stage 2 of the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift on 31 July 2027, helping welcome one of the world's biggest sporting events to the city. Councillor Ben Miskell, Economic Development, Skills and Culture Policy Committee said: “Welcoming the Tour de France Femmes avec Zwift to Sheffield in 2027 is a fantastic opportunity for our city. Major

sporting events of this scale attract visitors, showcase Sheffield to a global audience and create valuable opportunities for local businesses, hospitality venues and the wider economy.” “The trophy visit is a chance for people to find out more about the event and the opportunities it will bring, for residents right across the city, as well as learn how they can get involved in what promises to be a memorable moment for Sheffield.” “I would encourage anyone with an interest in sport, volunteering or the future of our city to come along, see the trophy and discover more about what's to come.” Darren Pearce, Centre Director at Meadowhall continued: “The Tour de France is one of the world's great sporting events, so hosting the Grand Départ trophy next week is a special moment for us at Meadowhall. Knowing that Sheffield is playing a part in the 2027 race is really exciting – we’re looking forward to it!”

city centre roadworks

News, Information and Advice book clubs & e-bikes - news from the mayor council People in South Yorkshire will be able to hire e-bikes and take them home as part of a first-of-its-kind scheme being launched by Mayor Oliver Coppard. Other city-based schemes around the country generally see users booking bikes for short trips and needing to find suitable spots to drop them off. But the new South Yorkshire scheme will become the most flexible operation in the country ahead of its planned launch next spring. Part of the South Yorkshire People’s Network, it will make e-bikes cheaper and easier to access, giving people more freedom and choice in how they travel for regular journeys. Oliver Coppard said: “The idea at the heart of the South Yorkshire People’s Network is that transport should work for everyone in South Yorkshire, giving us all freedom and choice about how we travel and move. That’s why we’ve designed this pioneering new e-bike subscription service; because it’s not enough to simply build bike lanes and cycle networks, we need to give everyone the chance to use them. So, from next spring, people across South Yorkshire will be able to hire a new e-bike on a long-term loan, for an affordable monthly price. That’s potentially game changing for anyone who wants to make different travel choices but has been priced out up to now. I’m proud to say we’re the first place in the country to develop this type of scheme, but I know we won’t be the last. South Yorkshire is leading the way again, putting the public back in public transport.” Backed by initial investment of £1.3m, the first 275 e-bikes are now out to procurement, helping to get the scheme rolling ahead of its planned launch in spring 2027. The scheme has been shaped by research showing how e-bikes can help people travel further and make everyday journeys easier, and data from the short-term loan schemes operating in Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham and Sheffield. With transport costs continuing to put pressure on households, the scheme’s flexible, first-of-its-kind tiered

pricing model will help make sure cost does not put the brakes on opportunity. It forms a key part of South Yorkshire’s Walking, Wheeling and Cycling Strategy, supporting plans to make walking, wheeling and cycling more realistic, accessible options for more people. Further details on pricing, eligibility and how to sign up will be announced ahead of launch. Meanwhile the Mayor has launched The Mayor’s Little Big Book Club, a new initiative designed to help more children discover the joy of reading and develop a lifelong love of stories, with 4,000 free books to be given away to children across the region. The Little Big Book Club forms part of the Mayor’s wider South Yorkshire Reading Network ambition, a programme focused on creating memorable experiences around books, language, creativity and storytelling, particularly for children and families who are currently less likely to engage. The ambition is to create opportunities for children to experience the magic of stories, building a culture where reading for pleasure is embedded across South Yorkshire. The launch comes as partners across Barnsley, Doncaster, Rotherham, and Sheffield prepare for the South Yorkshire Festival of Reading, part of a summer-long celebration which brings stories to life through storytelling sessions, creative activities and community events across the region. The festival marks the first major flagship moment for the Little Big Book Club on Saturday August 22 and the wider ambition to inspire more children to fall in love with reading. At the Festival of Reading, families will be able to enjoy story times and reading trails, live music, crafts and creative workshops, and performances from street entertainers. The celebrations will also include the giveaway of 4,000 free story sacks, each containing a book, helping thousands more children across South Yorkshire take home a story of their own. Oliver Coppard said: “If

you were lucky enough to have books around you as a kid, you’ll probably remember the first one you fell in love with. Most of us can remember it. We can remember the characters. We can remember where we read it. We can remember the person who shared it with us. That’s because stories stay with us. They spark our imagination. They make us laugh. They help us explore new worlds and see things differently. And we know reading brings so many benefits for young people. It helps build confidence, creativity and communication skills. It opens up opportunities and can shape a child’s future in ways they might not even realise at the time. I want every child growing up in South Yorkshire to have the chance to discover that joy for themselves. Not because somebody tells them reading is good for them, but because they find a story they can’t put down. Because they get excited about turning the page. Because reading becomes something they love, something they share, something that’s part of everyday life. That’s what the Little Big Book Club is all about. We’re starting that journey through the Festival of Reading this summer, bringing stories to life for thousands of children and families across South Yorkshire. But our ambition goes much further than one summer or one event. We want every kid in our region to know that books, stories and reading are for them. Because every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading.” Reading can spark imagination, build confidence, strengthen family bonds and open up new worlds. The Little Big Book Club is built on a simple idea: when reading feels joyful, shared and achievable, families are more likely to make it part of everyday life. Through the Festival of Reading and future Little Big Book Club activity, families across South Yorkshire will have more opportunities to discover stories together, connect with local libraries and community organisations, and make reading a bigger part of family life.

hosts send event

City of Doncaster Council are delighted to announce a dedicated event on Tuesday 29th September at the Eco Power Stadium in Doncaster to help SEND and neurodivergent young people prepare for adulthood. The event is specifically for young people aged 14-25 with a learning difficulty or who are neurodivergent and their families or carers. The event will be a collaboration between local and national organisations and charities with professionals on hand to equip Doncaster’s young people with skills and options to create a bright future. There will be two sessions, the first for Schools is 12:30-3pm and the second session for young people, parents and carers will be 3-6pm. Following feedback from our 2024 and 2025 events, we have introduced a range of enhancements to ensure the event is tailored to the needs of young people: • interactive activities • dedicated sensory spaces • quiet breakout areas Families and young people will be able to meet a wide range of organisations and professionals on the day that provide dedicated support and opportunities across Doncaster as well as covering the pillars of Preparing for Adulthood - education, employment and training, independence and housing, community inclusion and health. Cabinet Member Sue Farmer said: “Building on the success of previous years events, I am thrilled that the City of Doncaster Council and its partners can once again host this event. This is a fantastic opportunity for young people with SEND and their families to explore the wide range of options available to them as they prepare for adulthood. The event brings together so many organisations in one place from health, to housing, next steps after school or college and much more, to help young people make informed choices and feel confident about the future.”

free swimming for kids Children and young people across Rotherham will be able to enjoy free swimming opportunities this summer as part of a new Rotherham Council initiative. It aimed at helping more families stay active, build water confidence and enjoy safe, supervised fun during the school holidays. Children and young people aged 0-17 will be able to enjoy free swimming sessions at all four Places Leisure centres in Rotherham throughout the six-week summer holiday period. Adults accompanying children will be required to pay the normal admission charge. Young people aged 8 and over who meet Places Leisure admission requirements can swim without an accompanying adult. In addition, free inflatable splash sessions will be available throughout the summer holidays at: • Rotherham Leisure Complex • Aston-cum-Aughton Leisure Centre • Wath upon Dearne Leisure Centre The initiative is designed to make swimming more accessible for local families while encouraging children and young people to develop confidence in the water and enjoy the many physical and mental health benefits that swimming can provide. Councillor Lynda Marshall, Cabinet Member for Waste Services, Leisure and Green Spaces, said: “We want every child

in Rotherham to have the chance to enjoy safe swimming this summer, regardless of their family’s circumstances. We know that many families are feeling the pinch due to the cost of living at the moment. Hopefully this scheme will help ease the pressure on families as well as providing a fun activity for children during the summer break. I hope families will take up this offer and enjoy everything our leisure centres have to offer this summer.” The initiative will provide hundreds of opportunities for children and families to enjoy fun, supervised activities in the water over the summer break. The Council already supports free swimming opportunities through its Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme for children and young people who are eligible for free school meals. This new initiative extends access to free swimming throughout the summer holidays for all children and young people aged 0-17. Children and young people who already receive free swimming through an existing Places Leisure membership will continue to be able to access sessions in the usual way. Information on session times, booking arrangements and swimming offers will be available from Places Leisure and the Council’s website and social media channels.

As part of the Connecting Sheffield programme, a new bus gate will be introduced on Furnival Gate near the top of Matilda Way, while an existing bus gate, on the opposite side of Furnival Gate, at the bottom of Pinstone Street will be brought back into operation. Both bus gates are due to become operational on 19 September. The driver entering the new bus gate (at the top of Matilda Way) will be issued with a warning for their first offence in the first six months of it becoming operational. This rule will not apply to the existing bus gate (at the bottom of Pinstone Street) when it is turned back on. The changes are designed to prioritise buses on key routes through the city centre, helping public transport move more efficiently. There are still have over 9,000 parking spaces in the city centre. The new bus gate means that the route you use to access car parks from Park Square via Arundel Gate then Charter Row, Moore Street or Rockingham Street – including Atkinsons and Wellington Street NCP will change. You will now need to access Charter Row from the Inner Ring Road at Moore Street roundabout. Construction work has started and will continue until the end of August to build a traffic island at the top of Matilda Way. During this period, one of the bus stops on Moorhead is temporarily suspended, with services moving to the neighbouring stop. Once operational, the bus gates will allow buses, taxis, cycles and authorised vehicles to continue using Furnival

Gate, helping to reduce unnecessary throughtraffic and support a cleaner, greener city centre. The work forms part of the wider Connecting Sheffield: City Centre project, which is making the area more attractive and is delivering improvements to public transport, walking, wheeling and cycling links across the city centre. Residents and businesses in the area will receive information about the changes ahead of the bus gates becoming operational in September, including details of alternative routes for drivers and temporary bus stop arrangements during construction. Meanwhile Drivers are being advised to plan ahead as vital improvement work gets underway on Tenter Street roundabout. The work is an important part of ongoing efforts to maintain and improve Sheffield’s transport network. The roundabout will be closed to traffic for up to two weeks, with signed diversion routes in place throughout the works. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra time for their journeys and follow the clearly signed diversion routes. Surrounding roads are expected to be busier as a result, particularly Broad Lane and Townhead Street. The diversion route for drivers travelling from Broad Lane via Tenter Street will take traffic along Netherthorpe Road to Hoyle Street roundabout, before continuing via Shalesmoor, Gibraltar Street and West Bar. The same route will operate in reverse for traffic travelling in the opposite direction.

Brought to you by Rotherham Council and partners, this two-day event is a chance to celebrate everything that makes the borough special and the communities that make

it thrive with thousands of visitors are expected to join the celebrations. This year’s programme offers a rich blend of experiences including outdoor theatre, adventure play, live music, the annual horticulture show, sporting activities, circus magic, pop-up performances, spectacular displays and laughout-loud comedy. For the 46th Rotherham Show, people are being invited to choose their own adventure. Attendees can pick up an adventure map from the info point and choose to explore music, sport, sensory, heritage or nature adventures taking

them across the park. The Green Field is all about celebrating horticulture, the environment and local communities, with a fun mix of circus acts, workshops, comedy, strong‑man competitions and dog shows to enjoy throughout the day. People heading over to the Blue Field will find a vibrant mix of music, colour, food and sport, with Get moving in the Moving Rotherham zone and a stunning Luminarium experience, as well as the opportunity to take a break at the main stage to enjoy live performances. One of this year’s highlights is Timisien

by Architects of Air, an extraordinary walk-through luminarium where visitors can explore soaring domes and glowing labyrinths illuminated entirely by natural daylight. In 2025, Rotherham marked a milestone as the world’s first Children’s Capital of Culture. On the Yellow Field, the Council is proud to continue that legacy by offering creative opportunities for young people, alongside entertainment and handson workshops for families to enjoy. Alongside all of this there will be plenty of food and drink outlets with offerings from around the world and a covered seating area for those wishing to rest between

performances and activities. The Mayor of Rotherham, Cllr Haroon Rashid, said: “Rotherham is a place with a real sense of community, and the Rotherham Show brings that to life. This event showcases so much of what makes our borough special, from creativity and culture to people coming together to enjoy themselves. I am proud to welcome residents and visitors to Clifton Park and look forward to seeing families and friends making memories over what promises to be a fantastic weekend.” Cllr Lynda Marshall, Cabinet Member for Waste Services, Leisure and Green Spaces, said: “The Rotherham Show is one of the highlights of our

year. A chance for people to come together and celebrate everything that makes our borough unique. “From performances and workshops to fantastic food and family activities, there’s something for everyone. I’d encourage residents and visitors alike to join us, enjoy the weekend and be part of this brilliant event.” The Rotherham Show is free to attend, with gates open from 11am to 5pm on both days. Visitor parking available at Herringthorpe Playing Fields at a cost of £3 per vehicle per day.

Soapwatch

Coronation Street: Kacey’s plan is revealed when she shows Sarah pictures of Harry at Lottie’s house and suggests that he could be in danger unless Sarah convinces Kit to help with her son’s case. When Ollie announces that he’s organised a meeting with an influencer to review Speed Daal, Ben decides to get competitive and hosts a craft beer event at the Rovers. Following Ollie’s arrest, Ben informs Gary that Ollie could end up in prison over the incident. Jake listens in on their conversation and it’s clear he’s overcome with guilt, but will he own up to his actions? Sally and Tim are alarmed by screams from the garden and find Lucy accusing Jodie of spying on her. Sally raises concerns to Tim that they aren’t equipped to cope with Lucy’s issues. The Driscolls receive a shock when they discover Maggie and Brian coming down the stairs together. When George returns home, he tells Christina that he’s had time to think about their relationship. Will he forgive her? Emmerdale: In a week that will change lives forever, the morning of the wedding arrives and Dawn worries that Kim‘s return will prevent her escape. Meanwhile, Graham hides his worry from Joe, promising nothing will go wrong. Lucas lets slip to suspicious Graham about Dawn and Billy’s escape plan, so Graham returns to Home Farm to intervene. Graham snatches Dawn’s car keys in a desperate attempt to make her stay. Left with no choice, Dawn knocks him unconscious with a shovel and ties him up so he’s unable to leave. Jimmy feels bitterly betrayed by Caleb and Ruby when he realises they’ve tried to screw him over. Caleb’s guilt soon becomes clear, but Ruby is ruthless and businesslike. Eastenders: The Fox-Truemans are still desperately trying to find a stem cell match for Denise. With the family starting to despair, they get some much-needed hope when Kim learns that Denise has a halfbrother. Penny reluctantly accepts support as she and Vinny prepare for the baby’s imminent arrival. A pregnant Priya is unsure if the father of her unborn baby is Max or Ravi but is determined to find out. With Jean’s help, she attempts to obtain DNA samples from both Ravi and Max at the donor drive. Suki and Eve are devastated to learn that Ria’s mother might be preparing to seek custody. Alfie grows concerned when footage from Bert and Ernie’s school project shows Kat upset in the background. Cindy instructs Oscar to organise Max’s stag do for him, despite Max’s reservations.

CHRIS WILDER REFLECTS ON BLADES AWAY POINT

United manager Chris Wilder gave his reflections on a solid point on the road as United recorded a goalless draw against Swansea City in south Wales. After the game, Wilder commented: “A little bit frustrated because I think we’ve done enough to maybe nick a tight game. It was always going to be two tough opening fixtures, Birmingham City, one of the teams we fancied to push towards the top six, top four, and Swansea City who had a fabulous first day result at Stoke, another team that was fancied. “So the competition, as it is, is incredibly competitive. We had a couple of disappointments with losing Chongy and Ryan One before the game that we had to deal with. We changed our shape, and

that wasn’t a shape to be negative because it can’t be when you statistically outperform the opposition. We got beat up and bashed a little bit last week in terms of the numbers that came out and hopefully those same people will be looking at the numbers today.” The Blades boss tweaked his system with a back three which included Sam McCallum and was pleased with the way his side committed to the change. He added: “At this particular moment, this was the best way, in my opinion, of getting results. We had to get to grips with the game after the first 10-15 minutes, but they’ve had nine shots, we’ve had 12. We’ve hit the bar. We’ve had two or three great opportunities from set plays, so to get up to those positions from

a set play, you have to do something right to get into those areas and the delivery was good. We’re maybe a little bit disappointed we haven’t scored from them, but the players committed to the shape, they believed in it, which I said to you before, it’s not been a straightforward week. For us to get a result against two fancied teams, we obviously want to be in and around it and we’re not unbelievably there yet in terms of recruitment, which you understand, and we’re trying to strengthen it, but all I always ask, and demand, and even the people walking on the beach front this morning demand, is everybody leaves everything out there and those players have done.”

BRUCE HAPPY WITH MILLERS ATTITUDE

have a new manager, but it’s a team who have worked together for a long time. And they are a good side, York, they asked you questions, they are a well drilled outfit and they are going to cause a lot of teams problems. But I thought we dealt with them well. ‘I wasn’t so pleased to see the goal we gave away from our corner, the way we got counter attacked. And, again, that comes down to something we need to work on. ‘Jili (Bayabu) gave another good performance. I thought Ewan (Otoo) was very good again. Kieran Ngwenya came on the pitch and he’s going to give us something and Tom Bradshaw. Mulls (Paul Mullin) gave us his lot. Sonny Aljofree has a calm head on a young body and good

qualities, though still has a lot of learning to do but I thought he was very good today. ‘But we are a team who are new, who haven’t worked together much, some haven’t had preseasons and there was a lot of cramp a lot of sore bodies but there was a lot of lads really digging in which pleased me. I’m sure the supporters can see that this is still a work in progress and it’s tough for some of the players who have been thrown straight into the competitive matches but I thought they dealt with it well.’

Rotherham United Head Coach Alex Bruce said what pleased him about his team last weekend against York City was ‘that they dug in.’ Speaking to Radio Sheffield after the one-all draw the Millers Boss said, ‘There were momentum swings in the game when it went for them, where it went for us when we’ve huffed and puffed when we might have nicked another one. But there were positives, negatives, stuff we need to work on which I think was pretty evident today. ‘We’ve played against a team who accumulated one hundred points last season and, I know they

BANTAMS SPOIL THE PARTY

The Owls were made to pay for profligacy in the final third as Bradford snatched all three points at Hillsborough. Aden Baldwin settled the Yorkshire derby two minutes into the second half after they were let off the hook by Wednesday, who did everything but score in a one-sided opening 45. The early traffic was one-way - Barry Bannan sent a sighter just past the post before the midfield man forced a fine save from Jon McCracken. The Owls kept the foot to the floor, winning a flurry of corners, as Bradford were pinned further and further back. The fact the visitors could muster only one shot up to the break – Antoni Sarcevic’s speculative effort flying into the Kop – told its own story.

McCann eyeing more output from Rovers in upcoming games Grant McCann is hoping to see his side become more clinical in coming weeks, after a goalless draw with Barnsley at Club Doncaster Sports Village. Opportunities arose for

The first half ended as it began with Wednesday going so close when Callum Slattery was inches off target from 20 yards. But the Owls were stunned immediately after the interval as Bradford stole into the lead. Ibou Touray’s corner was flicked into the path of the onrushing Baldwin, who smashed home from close quarters. Suddenly, the tide had turned and Bradford’s tails were up. Joe Lumley had to dive low to palm away Jake Beesley’s header and Josh Neufville saw a long-ranger whistle past the far post. The Owls made a triple substitution to stem the flow and boost their forward play and although the holes were plugged at one end, there

was no way through at the othe despite Mason Burstow spurning another clear chance right at the end. On reflection aftr the defeat Owls Boss Pedersen said: “We have played two games now where we were solid in both the first half, against Bolton and against Leyton Orient, and we went from solid to strong in both the second half. “Today I think we were stronger in the first half than we have seen before this season. “I think we were very strong on the ball, we were strong in our press and verticality when we won the ball. So there was a lot of trust, a lot of belief from the first half, and then in the second half, what went wrong? “We had a build-up from a goal kick, we

lose the ball and then we conceded again after a set-piece, after the second phase, where we were not tough enough. “And for me, it had influence on the confidence in the team, and I think we put the shoulder a little bit down, instead of taking them higher up, and then we should have worked ourselves again into the game. “And then we had also more good phases in the second half, but not with the same intensity, not on the same level as we had in the first half. With Callum (Slattery) and Jamal (Lowe) we had also the chances in the second half to score.” Asked about any concern, given the fact that Wednesday had just two goal attempts in the second half, and 10 in the first

period, the Owls chief added: “Yes of course. I think it was the picture of the game, this aggressive, forward mindset we had in the first half, with our pressing, with front foot defending, playing forward when we won the ball. “And also in general in the first half, when we were on the ball, we had much more speed on the ball, we played less long balls and had more forward passes, where we bypassed opponents and where we sped up the game and when we lost the ball, we won it again. “In the second half, we also had phases where we saw this, but not at the same level. The second half was not good enough after a strong first half.”

various Rovers players on Saturday afternoon, but there was no decisive moment, and the two teams had to settle for a point. Speaking on the draw, McCann said: “Frustrating probably sums it up. I didn’t think we showed enough quality to win the game, despite creating the best three or four chances. “I felt we were a bit sloppy in the final third in the first-half, and in the second we didn’t really improve on it. It is not just the forward line, it is everyone - when we get up the pitch we need to be better.

“Currently, it feels like we have the reins on up top, so it is down to me as a coach to try and change that.” On the search for three points, he added: “With it being our first home game of the season, we wanted to be better than what we showed, particularly from an attacking point of view. “I know the players are trying their best, and I don’t ever question their appetite, energy, aggression and desire. We have got a really good group. “It is a work in progress. There are a lot of new lads who have come in,

who are trying to get used to how we want to play, so hopefully we can get better as the season goes on.” A big takeaway from the afternoon was the Rovers backline keeping a clean sheet, with Neill Byrne being named Pass Logistics Man of the Match. McCann was pleased with his defence, and hopes to see the good displays continue. “That was a positive for me today. We certainly don’t want to concede as many goals as we did last season, so that is something we can build on in the next few weeks.

“Three of the next four games are at home, and we want to make a real statement there. I said to the boys before the game, ‘we have to make it difficult for anybody that comes here’, and we certainly did that.” “After the players have rested up, we will be back in to focus on Middlesbrough. James Coppinger was at their game (against Blackburn Rovers), so we will get a report from him. “It is another good test for us, and we will be looking forward to it when it comes along.”
