From a family paint shop in Sheffield to performing in front of half a million people in Berlin and writing songs that have become global classics, Paul Carrack’s remarkable musical journey has been celebrated in his home city. The Legendary singer, songwriter and multiinstrumentalist was honoured with a Sheffield Legends plaque outside Sheffield Town Hall last week, recognising a career that has spanned more than five decades and established him as one of Britain’s most respected and enduring musical talents. Known worldwide as “The Man with the Golden Voice”, the Sheffield-born

released 19 studio albums, written songs recorded by artists including Diana Ross and Sir Tom Jones, and performed alongside an extraordinary roll call of music legends including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Ringo Starr, B.B. King, The Smiths, Madness, Roxy Music and The Pretenders. His career has also been woven into major moments in global history. In 1990, following the fall of the Berlin Wall, Carrack was personally selected by Roger Waters to perform at The Wall Live in Berlin, singing before a crowd of more than 500,000 people and a television audience of millions around the world. Despite his international success, Carrack has remained proudly

Sheffield Honours “The Man with the Golden Voice” musician has enjoyed a career that few can match. From penning the timeless hit How Long and co-writing global favourites including Love Will Keep Us Alive and Over My Shoulder, to lending his unmistakable voice and musicianship to some of the biggest names in music, Carrack’s influence has been felt across generations and continents. The 75-year-old’s rise to international fame began in humble circumstances. Teaching himself to play drums and organ in his family’s paint shop, Carrack developed a passion and talent that would take him from Sheffield to some of the world’s most iconic stages. Over the years, he has

connected to Sheffield throughout his life and career. Speaking about his new honour Carrack said: “I’m sure there are hundreds of Sheffield men and women who have served this great city well and are far more worthy of this award than me, but I accept it in honour of my late father and mother, my brother John, my grandparents, my aunts, uncles and cousins – all of them solid Sheffield folk who instilled in me the values of honesty, determination, hard work, humility and love. Values that have served me well in my life and career.” The honour comes at another milestone moment for Carrack, who recently released his latest

studio album, The Country Side of Paul Carrack Vol 2, on 7 August 2026. The album continues a remarkable independent career that has seen Carrack successfully build and run his own label, Carrack-UK, for more than two decades, giving him complete creative control over his music while maintaining a loyal fanbase across the world. The plaque was unveiled outside Sheffield Town Hall on Tuesday 4 August, with Paul Carrack being joined by family, friends, the Lord Mayor of Sheffield and civic leaders. The unveiling is the second in the latest series of Sheffield Legends honours, with further announcements expected in the coming months.

FUNDING FOR GRASSROOTS SPORTS CLUBS ACROSS SOUTH YORKSHIRE Grassroots sports clubs across Yorkshire are being urged to apply for funding from Aldi, as the supermarket brings its support for local sport together under one Aldi Sports Fund programme. Eligible clubs could receive funding to help cover essential costs such as equipment, kits, coaching, training programmes and facility hire. This development comes as part of Aldi’s drive to support sport at every level, from local clubs through to Britain’s Olympic and

Paralympic athletes. As the Official Supermarket Partner of Team GB and ParalympicsGB, Aldi also supports Team GB and ParalympicsGB athletes with monthly vouchers for their all-important food shop. Through the Aldi Sports Fund, select Gold grant recipients will also have the opportunity to meet a Team GB or ParalympicsGB athlete and hear first-hand about their journey in sport. Tim Ellerton, Chief Commercial Officer at Team GB and Jenny Seymour,

Commercial Director at ParalympicsGB, said: “Aldi is a fantastic partner to Team GB and ParalympicsGB, and we are delighted to see them extend their commitment to supporting sport at every level across the country. From local communities to the world stage, they understand the extraordinary impact sport can have. It will be great to see athletes getting involved and helping to make that impact felt in communities nationwide.” Julie Ashfield, Chief Commercial Officer at

Aldi, said: “We know how much local sports clubs mean to the communities they serve. They’re run by passionate volunteers and give people of all ages the chance to get active, try something new and be part of a team. “For the past 10 years, our Scottish Sports Fund has helped hundreds of clubs, and by bringing this activity together under the Aldi Sports Fund, we’re making it easier for even more grassroots organisations to see what support is available in their area. “Our partnership

with Team GB and ParalympicsGB is all about inspiring people to get involved in sport. Through the Aldi Sports Fund, we’re helping more clubs continue the fantastic work they do every day.” Grant values and application windows vary by location, with clubs able to visit the Aldi Sports Fund webpage for full details on the funding available in their area. To apply, eligible clubs should email sportsfund@ aldi.co.uk with no more than 200 words explaining what makes their club great, how the funding

would be used and the difference it would make to their local community. Clubs can visit www. aldi.co.uk/sportsfund for full eligibility criteria, application dates, grant values and details on how to apply in their area. The Aldi Sports Fund builds on the success of Aldi’s Scottish Sports Fund, which has supported hundreds of local clubs over the past 10 years, and brings funding information for clubs across England, Wales and Scotland together in one place.

Explore, play and blast off with the family at the PEPPA PIG Space Adventure at the NEC A brand-new, limited-time seasonal experience has arrived at the NEC in Birmingham, inviting preschoolers and their grown-ups to step into Peppa Pig’s surroundings for an out-of-this-world adventure in Peppa Pig Space Adventure. Running from now until the end of November and perfect for a family outing in the last few weeks of the Summer Holidays Peppa Pig Space Adventure is a hands-on walk-through experience designed for pre-schoolers, where each room tells a story and little ones lead the way. Developed under license from Hasbro, a leading games, IP and toy company, PEPPA PIG Space Adventure launches at the NEC soon. Families can book now at www. PeppaPigSpaceAdventure.co.uk. When a rainy day interrupts playtime in Peppa’s garden, Mummy & Daddy Pig suggest the fun move indoors, where imagination allows the family to blast off on an adventure through space! Along the way, there are plenty of photo opportunities, playful discovery moments and hands-on fun. Designed for preschoolers and early years children, the experience blends storytelling and play in a calm, welcoming environment where families explore together. It is a walkthrough adventure, not a stage show, with each space inspired by Peppa’s world. Peppa encourages kids to explore the world around them, while helping give kids the confidence to treat every first step as a new adventure, from the everyday to the epic.

The experience takes place inside a purpose-built space at the NEC and runs for a limited season only until the end of November. Sarah Harvey, Chief Development Officer at the NEC, said: “We’re delighted to welcome PEPPA PIG Space Adventure to the NEC. It’s a focused experience that gives young children and their grown-ups the chance to play and explore together inside a world they already love. We’re excited for families across the region to enjoy this special limited-time adventure.” David Hutchinson, CEO of Path Entertainment Group, said: “PEPPA PIG Space Adventure is designed to capture the warmth, humour and imagination of Peppa’s world in a way families can step inside and experience together. It’s playful, gentle and full of discovery, and we’re thrilled to be bringing it to the NEC for families to enjoy.” Tickets available at www.PeppaPigSpaceAdventure.co.uk.

News, Information and Advice

abbeydale dam repairs supertram works commence doncaster great bear hunt Sheffield City Council is celebrating the successful completion of the £1.3 million restoration of Abbeydale Dam and the adjacent grinding hull at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet, marking a significant milestone in the protection of one of the city’s most important historic assets. The project has addressed serious structural issues that threatened the integrity of the 18th-century dam, which forms a vital part of Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet – a Scheduled Monument and one of the most complete surviving water-powered industrial works in the world. Back in 2021, substantial leaks emerged in the dam’s north-east corner, resulting in water flowing through the structure and creating dangerous pressure behind the walls. Emergency measures were implemented to lower water levels and stabilise the dam, but a permanent solution was required to safeguard the historic site and prevent further deterioration. Working in partnership with Sheffield Museums and specialist contractor Esh Construction, Sheffield City Council has now completed an extensive programme of repairs. The works included rebuilding and repointing displaced stonework using traditional stonemasonry techniques, installing clay linings and waterproof membranes to prevent future leaks, grouting voids within the structure, and undertaking repairs to the grinding hull and associated infrastructure. Cllr Brian Holmshaw said: “This marks an historic moment in the long history of the scythe and steelworks at Abbeydale. Addressing this has saved one of the cornerstones of Britain’s industrial revolution. I’m delighted to see that this project has been completed and the hamlet is open for future generations to visit, learn from and enjoy.” With the structural works now complete, attention is turning to the careful refilling of the millpond. Following ecological assessments undertaken by Sheffield City Council’s ecology team, refilling will not begin until September to ensure compliance with legislation protecting breeding birds and

to minimise impacts on wildlife, including insects and other species that have established themselves within the drained pond area. Before refilling can commence, larger vegetation including willow and elder trees that have become established within the pond bed will be removed to help reduce future silting and improve the long-term management of the pond. These works will also take place after the bird breeding season and will be undertaken by specialist contractor Horticon. Once vegetation clearance is complete, the sluice from the weir can be reopened and the pond will be refilled gradually. A slow refill approach has been recommended to allow animals and insects sufficient time to relocate as water levels rise, while also helping to minimise impacts downstream and ensuring compliance with current Environment Agency requirements. In the meantime, pumps will remain in operation to manage the flow entering the site from Ecclesall Woods. This watercourse is separate from the dam sluice and helps maintain existing water management arrangements until the refill process begins. The Council is continuing discussions with stakeholders on future management considerations, including whether fish should be reintroduced to the pond once refilling is complete. The authority will also continue to monitor river levels ahead of September, recognising that prolonged dry weather conditions could affect water availability. Any future proposals relating to the wider water management system, including potential changes to the weir, would require further technical assessment, including detailed hydrological studies. The completion of the repair programme represents a major investment in Sheffield’s industrial heritage and ensures that Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet remains protected, operational and ready to continue inspiring future generations with the story of the city’s manufacturing past. Preparations are also underway that will see the Hamlet’s waterwheels back in action from next spring.

Major Supertram improvements got underway last weekend, as part of a wider £110 million investment to improve the network. The essential works will focus on renewing the major junction of all tram routes, known as the Delta junction, which sits within the Park Square roundabout, near to Hyde Park and Fitzalan Square, in Sheffield city centre. The Delta junction is of vital importance to the network with over 440 trams running across it every day, serving all lines on the network. The works - which will run from Saturday 8 August to Monday 31 August - will involve installing new track, points, signalling equipment and pedestrian crossings. Works will also take place near Hyde Park to replace the tracks as they cross Bernard Road. The £3.5 million of improvements this summer are part of South Yorkshire’s wider People’s Network vision – creating a better-connected public transport system that makes it easier, greener and more reliable for people to travel. Investing in Supertram is a key part of building a network that links communities to jobs, education and opportunities. Whilst Blue, Yellow, Purple and Tram Train services will continue to run, all services across the network will be subject to changes to their routes and timetables to accommodate the works. Replacement buses will be provided to help keep people moving to those areas which cannot be served by the tram network. Customers are encouraged to plan ahead and allow extra time for their journeys. The works have been scheduled during the school summer holidays when passenger numbers on the network are lower. Melanie Corcoran, Executive Director of Transport at South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, said: “This multi-million pound investment we’re making will create a more reliable network for all of us who depend on Supertram every day. The investment is essential if we’re going to build a tram network that is fit for the future and will serve us well in the next 30 years. We know carrying out this work will mean some disruption during

the school holidays, and we’re grateful for everyone’s understanding while it’s completed. Supertram is at the heart of the South Yorkshire People’s Network that we’re building together – creating a public transport system that is more reliable, better connected and makes it easier for everyone to get to work, education and opportunities.” From 8 August, all tram services will operate to revised routes and timetables. Replacement buses will run between Cathedral and Granville Road for connection to the Purple and Blue routes, and between Cathedral and Woodbourn Road for the Yellow and Tram Train routes. All valid tram and multimodal tickets will be accepted for travel on the replacement bus services. Customers can buy their ticket in advance using the TSY Mobile app, or from a tram conductor. Alternatively, tickets can be purchased from the bus driver using contactless card or cash payments when boarding. Separately, children between 5-15 can travel free on the Supertram system over the month of August. Longer journey times are likely, particularly during peak periods. To minimise disruption, Supertram recommends those travelling in the area plan ahead and allow extra time for journeys. Customers can find out more about the replacement bus services and view their timetables via TravelSouthYorkshire. com/FitzalanSquare. Customers who have already pre-purchased a 28-day ticket and would like to change their plans because of the impact these works will have on their travel should contact our Traveline team on 0800 952 0002 for more details. The engineering works are essential to replace equipment which is naturally reaching the end of its life after over 30 years of operations. The new rails, points, signalling equipment and pedestrian crossings will give passengers a better travel experience by improving comfort, reducing noise, and minimising the risk of unplanned closures on the network.

Families are being invited to join in with a free city centre event as one of the nation’s best-loved children’s stories comes to life in the heart of Doncaster this summer. The Great Doncaster Bear Hunt is coming to Sir Nigel Gresley Square on Saturday 22nd August, 10am4pm, bringing a day of free, family-friendly storytelling, imagination and adventure by the much-loved classic ‘We’re Going on a Bear Hunt’. The event is part of the ‘South Yorkshire Mayor’s Reading Network: Little Big Book Club’, an initiative designed to inspire a love of books and reading among children and families across South Yorkshire, and is part of a wider programme of readinginspired activities in Doncaster throughout August. Young visitors will be able to follow an interactive trail through storybook scenes led by Artists from Doncaster’s participatory arts charity, darts, whilst also enjoying bear-themed crafts and activities with Doncaster Family Hubs, as well as bear facepainting, balloon modelling and much more. The day will also feature live storytelling and illustration sessions with Doncaster author and illustrator Phil Sheppard, who has created the bears featured in the event’s artwork, in collaboration with the National Literacy Trust. Families will be able to take home a special

story-themed treat and well as free books to continue the magic – and hopefully inspire their next reading adventure. The Great Doncaster Bear Hunt is taking place alongside Summer in the City, which is transforming Sir Nigel Gresley Square throughout August with seaside-inspired family fun, including sand, rides, games, activities and entertainment. The bear hunt is the showcase event for a full programme of free reading-inspired activities as part of the same initiative, which includes the Concerteenies’ ‘The Duck with No Luck’ musical tour coming to Doncaster, and ‘Tuneful Chatter on a Bear Hunt’ sessions with darts, all taking place on various dates throughout August at a range of Doncaster community spaces including Family Hubs and libraries. The full programme has been supported through the South Yorkshire Mayor’s Reading Network: Little Big Book Club, with funding from the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority and Mayor Oliver Coppard. All events are free to attend and drop-in, with no booking required. The event is running on Saturday 22nd August at Sir Nigel Gresley Square in Doncaster Ciry Centre, 10am-4pm (10am-11am will be designated as a SEND friendly/quiet hour).

With kindness in every stitch, an exhibition of patchwork quilts made for military veterans is proving an emotional experience for visitors at Wentworth Woodhouse. Quilts For the Longest Day, a community sewing and not-for-profit group with nimble-fingered members from across Yorkshire, is displaying its intricately-made quilts in the mansion’s Old Hall. Exhibits include a quilt especially made for Doncaster’s much-loved former paratrooper Ben Parkinson MBE, who was the most severely wounded soldier to survive the War in Afghanistan. Ben, who defied his doctors’ expectations by learning to walk and talk again, is now a veterans campaigner, author and charity worker. He has loaned his quilt made by the group to the exhibition and is also the group’s patron. Quilts For The Longest Day began as an initiative in 2023. Its founder is Lisa Birkett, a Hillsborough 53-year-old with a passion for crafting, who set up her own shop, the Happy Hare, in Chapeltown 10 years ago. Explained Lisa: “The 80th anniversary of World War II’s D-Day Landings was coming up in 2024. My greatgrandfather died in a World War I shell attack, leaving a pregnant wife. That baby went on to fight in WW2 and died in an accident coming home from war, just months after my dad was born. The anniversary meant a lot to me and I came up with an idea to make 80 patchwork quilts for local veterans. Happy Hare customers and women from local veteran groups joined me. It was a big success. We made and distributed 108 quilts and

enjoyed it so much we just kept going, setting up as a proper not-forprofit organisation. We have now made 239 quilts and 217 have been donated. They are gifted to veterans of any age.” The exhibition, Quilts For The Longest Day: A Sewing Group’s Accidental Journey, is in Wentworth Woodhouse’s Community Exhibitions Space and runs until November 14. One quilt on show features the Military Intelligence Corps, which used Wentworth Woodhouse as its headquarters and training depot in World War II. Lisa hopes the exhibition will help her reach more veterans and educate people in the time and skill the craft requires. It takes the equivalent of a week to make each one, with quilters working on a specific task on a mini production line. She is also hoping to gain a few new members. To that aim, On September 20 the group will be teaching the basics at a Sit and Sew session in the Low Drawing Room at Wentworth Woodhouse. “We can always use more hands at our quilt-making workshops at the Happy Hare. We always have a waiting list. There are 30 veterans waiting at the moment,” said Lisa. “Their faces light up when they see their quilts. They love the fact that someone has taken the time to make something especially for them. Most of the recipients are male and I have never seen so many grown men cry.” Quilts have depicted Second World War fighter planes, 21st century warships, medals, poppies and soldiers.

60% of Tramlines 2027 weekend tickets snapped up ALREADY

Following another sold-out Tramlines, excitement is already building for 2027 (23rd - 25th July), with 60% of weekend tickets snapped up and the first ticket tiers selling out within minutes. It follows an unforgettable weekend at Hillsborough Park, where 40,000 music fans each day came together for three days of global artists, grassroots talent and unmistakable Sheffield spirit. Across the weekend, festivalgoers enjoyed headline performances from Fatboy Slim, Courteeners and Wolf Alice, alongside hundreds of artists spanning established names, emerging talent and Sheffield favourites. Beyond Hillsborough Park, Tramlines on Track brought live performances to Sheffield’s tram network, while the city-wide Fringe once again transformed venues across the city into part of the festival experience.

This year’s festival was packed with standout moments. Fatboy Slim wowed fans with his first major outdoor show in Sheffield while Saturday saw thousands embrace Tramlines’ first-ever Fancy Dress Day and The Everly Pregnant Brothers paid a moving tribute to the late Sheffield photographer Glenn Ashley alongside The Leadmill Studio Orchestra. Blossoms brought out Rick Astley (who also played a standout solo set) and Reverend at The Makers included Sheffield legend Richard Hawley and rapper K Dot in their set. Festivalgoers once again praised the atmosphere, organisation and Sheffield pride across the weekend, with many highlighting standout performances, improved accessibility and the unique Sheffield feel of the event. Angela, who attended all three days, said:

“Loved it, managed all 3 days but my legs are aching today! Favourite by far was Fat Boy Slim on a Friday night. Tramlines was very well organised. You only see how well organised it is when you’ve been to a not well organised one! Beer choices were much better this year and the food was nice too. I tried something different each night.” Bobbie praised the atmosphere and inclusivity of the festival: “A real credit to Sheffield and the team behind the festival. The staff were amazing and the atmosphere was brilliant. It’s such an inclusive, multi-generational event.” Ellie highlighted the diversity of acts and accessibility improvements: “Standout act for me was Wolf Alice by far. It was great to see more women-fronted bands and modern punk acts. I also noticed more accessible areas this year, which was really nice to see.”

Timm Cleasby, Festival Director at Tramlines, said: “Every year we challenge ourselves to create a festival that feels unmistakably Sheffield, and I genuinely believe we’ve achieved that again in 2026. Seeing 40,000 people through the gates each day is incredible, but what we’re most proud of is the atmosphere those people create. Whether it was families enjoying their first Tramlines, artists like the Rosadocs reflecting on their journey through the festival, surprise performances or thousands embracing Fancy Dress Saturday, this weekend has been full of moments that simply couldn’t happen anywhere else. Tramlines has always been about much more than three days of live music. It’s about celebrating Sheffield’s creativity, supporting grassroots talent and creating opportunities for artists to grow.

That’s why hearing performers talk about progressing from our smaller stages to bigger stages means so much to us. The response this weekend has been phenomenal and we’re already excited about what’s next, we have lots planned already and

can’t wait to share with everyone.” With 60% of weekend tickets already sold and the first three ticket tiers gone, fans hoping to join Tramlines in 2027 are being encouraged to secure their tickets early via tramlines.org.uk

It was the Beat of a Generation & the Sound of a Nation. Made in Motown aim to recreate the classic music & sounds of Detroit during the 1960s & 70s. The band comprises of high quality musicians dedicated to recreating authentically the “Sounds of the Motor City”, fronted by the incredible talents of the band?s three female vocalists. If your a fan of Martha Reeves, The Temptations, Supremes, The Marvelettes, Marvin Gaye & many more Motown legends, then this is a show not to be missed. Sit back & enjoy the songs that were “Made in Motown”.

BLADES PROGRESS AFTER NEW LOOK OWLS POSITIVE OPENER COMFOTABLE WINNING START United began the new season with a deserved away success at the One Call Stadium, to advance to the second round of the Carabao Cup. Goals from Partrick Bamford, Mark McGuinness and Callum O’Hare saw the Blades gain revenge on the Stags following Town’s FA Cup success at Bramall Lane in January. Boss Wilder’s first competitive starting XI of the 2026/27 saw Tanganga wear the captain’s armband, although McCallum was a noticeable absentee through illness. United’s campaign got off to the perfect start, as they took the lead inside four minutes in Nottinghamshire. A failed clearance by Russell caused panic in the home defence and

Plenty to build on after win Grant McCann feels his side’s defensive performance laid the foundations for an opening day penalty shootout victory over Stockport County in the first round of the Carabao Cup on Saturday. It was a day to remember for Alfie May, who opened his account on his second debut shortly after the break, but the hosts were quick to bounce back as they netted the equaliser just a minute later. Stockport, who finished in the play-off positions last season, were unable to grab a second and the two sides settled the tie from the spot.

after seeing two efforts blocked, Rothwell’s third was turned into the net by Bamford as the hosts appeals for offside fell on deaf ears. On 24 minutes, having enjoyed the better of the game, Chong got to the byline and pulled the ball back for Rothwell who will have been disappointed not to hit the target from close range. At the other end, moments later, Cooper had to be alert to the danger as BlakeTracy took aim, before producing an ever better save before the break, to deny the same player after a corner wasn’t properly cleared. Burrows replaced Norrington-Davies at the break and the first action of the second period, saw Peck’s effort deflected wide for a corner.

Following Seriki’s earlier booking, former Blade Reed was the first Town to be cautioned. And following a double change with 20 minutes remaining, McGuinness rose highest from Peck’s inswinging corner to head home United’s second of the game. The comfort of a two-goal lead saw United play with a real freedom, with chances coming regularly, as Cannon was denied by an excellent save by Lewis. The last action of the contest saw United break at pace down the right and substitutes Donovan and Oné combined to put a goal on a plate for O’Hare who finished confidently from close range.

Tommy Simkin enjoyed his own memorable debut as he saved two penalties, before Hakeeb Adelakun tucked his own away to send Rovers into the second round draw. Grant McCann has reflected on the victory, saying he was pleased with the patience his side showed to earn their place in the next round. He said: “I thought it was a really disciplined performance, they’re a really good possessionbased team. They had a 5v4 against us, mainly because we didn’t want the 10s getting on the ball. We know they have good players, and I thought the boys, the front four, particularly the ones that started the game, put in a massive shift for us. “We had a lot of chances on transition and breaks that we probably didn’t execute and then we

scored from a corner. It was a, really good goal and something we’ve worked on. Jay (McGrath) knocked it down and Alfie’s alive. “I was frustrated to concede so quickly after, but we stuck at it, we stayed in it. We had a couple of really good chances, there were lots of good bits of the play, particularly from a defensive point of view and that got us the win. “Penalties are penalties, you’ve got to get up there and be confident and calm, it could have gone either way, but from a defensive point of view, that gives us something to build on.”

The Blades have been drawn away to Blackburn Rovers in the next round.

Wednesday opened the new season with a 1-0 win over ten-man Bolton to reach the second round of the Carabao Cup. Jamal Lowe came off the bench to decide the contest after Xavier Simons saw red for violent conduct. The dismissal changed the flow of an even cuptie, allowing the Owls to exploit the advantage and go on to move into round two. Simons’ early bath undid Bolton’s earlier promise, they were first to show when Ruben Rodrigues dragged wide from close quarters and the same player threatened again on the 20-minute mark, this time planting a firm header over the top. Callum Slattery was just

off target at the other end after unleashing from the edge of the box, with keeper Jack Bonham relieved to see the ball whistle past his far post. Neither Bonham or his opposite number Joe Lumley had a shot of note to save as the interval neared - possession was shared and despite both sides showing flashes of intent in the final third, the opening period stayed goalless. The second half needed a spark and Jordi Liongola provided it right at the start with a delicious feed into the danger zone that Max Lowe couldn’t quite direct goalward. Then on 56 minutes came the turning point as Simons was involved in an off-the-ball incident that saw the midfielder

brandished a straight red card. And with the familiar sight of Barry Bannan pulling the strings, Wednesday climbed into the box seat. Typically, Bannan was at the heart when the hosts broke the deadlock

Millers Head Coach Alex Bruce saw his team beaten at home by the better team at the weekend being knocked out of the Carabao Cup by West Bromwich Albion. Speaking after the fourone loss the Millers Boss told the club’s Official Site that he believes there were some positives to take from the game. “I’ve learned that we have a lot of work to do” Alex said. “I’ve also learned that thankfully we won’t be coming up against that level of opposition every week. Ultimately, we conceded goals at bad times in the game.” “When it was two-nil

we had a chance with Paul Mullin where their ‘keeper makes a great save and they go up the other end of the pitch and score which kills the game.” “There were some parts of the game that pleased me but I’m not going to sugar coat it it was a tough afternoon. West Brom showed their class and their quality. So there was a couple of pleasing things but there was things there that we need to work on and we’ll be starting again on Monday morning.” “I think we were a little bit too honest, especially in the middle of the pitch, trying to jump out and

press the defenders and they were just getting picked off with the ball and spaces opened up behind them. But those kinds of things can tactically be worked on.” “One thing you can say is that the chances we created at the latter stages of the game was one thing that pleased me and they didn’t chuck the towel in.” “With the amount of players we’ve brought in this week I am not going to be over critical or lose much sleep over the game today. I’m obviously disappointed that we lost but sometimes you just have to have a level

on 70 minutes, sending Jamal Lowe through on goal with a trademark pass and the striker lobbed expertly over the stranded Bonham. The lead was almost swiftly doubled but Bonham denied Sil

Swinkels with a super save that ultimately proved academic as the Owls comfortably saw the game out to progress to the next stage.

The Owls will host Wolves in the second Round.

head, keep calm a little bit because the reality is we’ve got players who have only done three days pre-season, players who have never played with each other before. We are a new team and at times I think it showed today.” Speaking of possible future transfer movements Bruce said: “Brandon Williams is still with us. But we aren’t handing any contracts out at the moment though there could be a couple of things done over the next couple of weeks. But I won’t keep people here when there is no future for them but the one’s I’m still thinking about will

remain around until I tell them otherwise.” “We still need bodies, we still need people who can come and make up the numbers for training days and I’ve got an idea of what we need and what the numbers are. I’d like to do something in the middle of the pitch, add another body in a wide area and I still think we need bodies at the top end of the pitch. It’s possible we will get someone in before Cheltenham but there’s still a bit of work to do so we will have to wait to see what happens in the next couple of days.”
