THE CITY OF STEEL WELCOMES THE RETURN OF THE IRON MEN AT GIANTS LIVE! THIS WEEKEND TIME OUT PAGE 4

SHEFFIELD’S FESTIVE FOOTFALL REACHES THREE YEAR HIGH At a time when many cities across the UK have seen a decline in high street trade over the Christmas period, Shefﬁeld has notched up its busiest since 2015. With experts predicting the steepest decline in December’s high street footfall since the recession in 2010, Shefﬁeld has bucked the national trend with an increase in December’s city centre shoppers The increase in footfall spread across all areas of the city centre with Fargate up three per cent, Division Street up 1.6 per cent, The Moor up 6.6 per cent and the Moor

Market up two per cent from December 2017. Sheffield City Council worked hard to create a magical experience in the city. The impressive Christmas offer included an improved International Christmas Market, festive bars Thor’s Tipi Bar and The Sleigh Bar, brand new illuminations, fairground rides, a huge wheel to take in the sights of the city and Santa’s Grotto. Sheffield Business Improvement District provided 3D festive illuminations on Barkers Pool and The Moor, the Sheffield Christmas Trail, an interactive trail for

families, and Santa’s Post Ofﬁce, a free immersive experience. Shefﬁeld city centre welcomed many additions in 2018, with the opening of the National Videogame Museum, an improved Site Gallery and new restaurants as part of The Light complex. Development is taking place across the city centre with Heart of the City ll, a new food hall underneath the National Videogame Museum at Castle House, further improvements on The Moor, the extension of Grey To Green towards Lady’s Bridge and

The Wicker and the Knowledge Gateway scheme between Fitzalan Square and Paternoster Row. As well as work to improve the city centre by the council, Sheffield BID delivers additional projects to attract more visitors to the city centre, including the Alive After Five strategy, Dine Sheffield, the city’s foodie fortnight, guides on Sheffield’s thriving independent businesses, and city hosts on the streets. Diane Jarvis, Sheffield BID Manager, said: “It is fantastic to see that a combination of

festive experiences, exciting leisure activities, fantastic food and drink, and retail encouraged more people to visit the city centre during the festive season. This reflects the hard work of a number of organisations and businesses which are determined to make Sheffield a success story when so many towns and cities across the UK are struggling to increase visitor numbers. “Following the success of Santa’s Post Office in 2017, the immersive festive experience returned in 2018. In addition, the BID has increased our festive offer for families by providing the Sheffield Christmas Trail, a free interactive trail across the city centre.”

NEW YEAR, NEW HEALTHIER YOU A free local service can help residents achieve their New Year Resolutions for 2019. Get Healthy Rotherham, commissioned by Rotherham Council, provides specialist support in many of the most common resolutions, including stopping smoking, losing weight, eating more healthily and being more active.

Anyone aged over 18 and who lives in Rotherham can access the support available (subject to eligibility criteria). In addition, nearly 80,000 people in Rotherham are eligible to have a free NHS Health Check with Get Healthy Rotherham the ﬁve yearly health assessment which can help people take steps to live a healthier lifestyle. The

assessment aims to identify those at risk of serious, but potentially avoidable conditions, such as heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of dementia. People aged 40–74 years old and who meet the inclusion criteria are eligible. Anyone wanting to stop smoking can get support directly from Get

Healthy Rotherham’s programme of support, which includes free expert advice and stop smoking medications including Nicotine Replacement Therapy. Support is available either online, via telephone support or face to face at one of many community venues across Rotherham. The service is also working in partnership with Slimming

World to help deliver a free 12 week weight management programme for people who wish to lose weight (subject to eligibility criteria). Get Healthy Rotherham Service Manager Jacqui Reddick said: “The start of the New Year is when most people decide to improve their health, and as we provide weight management support,

a specialist stop smoking programme and general healthy lifestyle support it’s never been a better time to take advantage of the free support we offer. The NHS Health Check is also an excellent way of helping people understand how healthy changes could help reduce their risk of developing a long term health condition in the future.”

Cllr David Roche, Cabinet Member for Public Health and Adult Care at Rotherham Council, and Chair of the Rotherham Tobacco Alliance, also emphasised the importance of the NHS Health Check. He said: “We are working closely with Get Healthy Rotherham to ensure that everyone who is eligible is able

to access the NHS Health Check, as the assessment and any subsequent lifestyle changes will have such a positive impact on their long term health. I encourage anyone who thinks they may qualify to contact Get Healthy Rotherham and even people who aren’t eligible may be able to beneﬁt from one of the free healthy lifestyle interventions they offer.”

ALBERT SNODGRASS A dog was drowning in a pond, luckily a German man walked past and pulled it from the water to try and save it. I asked the man: “are you a vet?” The man replied: “am I vet? I’m bloody soaking.” I’m ﬁne letting other people dot my i’s, but crossing my t’s? That’s where I draw the line. A person came into my pet store and asked if we had any chameleons. “I have no idea” I said. It’s crazy how fast milk trucks are driven these days. One blink and they’ve gone pasteurise. There are three types of people in this world. People who are good at maths, and people who aren’t. I went to Specsavers the other day and you would never guess who I bumped into. Everyone.

SOCIAL CLUB

Frustration can set in, as obstacles to your plans may prevent you from making the progress you desire. With an influx of powerful influences, it may be wiser to go with the flow rather than get anxious. Opportunities for enlivening your social life can take the edge off any disappointment. Call for more...

A romance could become more intense early on, and yet you may have reservations about it. Don’t dismiss these as you are right to explore such feelings until you are satisﬁed all is well. There is a lot to be said for socializing and accepting invites though Libra. Call for more news and astral advice...

You could be sabotaging your best intentions unknowingly. If so, it helps not to create more conﬂict by ﬁghting with ingrained patterns. Leave it for now, as the Sun in a prominent sector hints at possibilities that you might feel more comfortable about Taurus. Call for more news and advice...

You may be frustrated by how slowly things are progressing. But are delays such a bad thing? Although there may be hold-ups, it could allow you to consider key plans in further detail. More positive news can show up towards the end of the week too. Call for more news and advice...

Are you really too set in your ways? If others suggest you are, this may come as a surprise to someone who can be very ﬂexible, like you. There may be one issue though, where you are ready to stand ﬁrm. But is doing so in your best interests Gemini? Call for more news and astral advice...

A project or romance may seem great on the surface, and yet you could wonder at the real cost in terms of time and money. As the week progresses though, your heart may begin to rule your head, perhaps encouraging you not to be too cynical and to give it a go. Call for more astral advice...

It might appear someone is blocking you from pursuing an important goal. The more you resist them, the more they may push back. If you set this matter aside for a few days, upbeat aspects suggest fresh opportunities could emerge, and pursuing these can take things in a new direction. Call for more...

If the Lunar Eclipse has made you aware of the resources you have access to, then this is a good thing. The coming days suggest that focusing attention on resolving issues that have been a drain on your resources, can see you happier in general, and anything that adds to this will be a bonus. Call for more...

It can feel that work has taken precedence over everything else, which is why you may be keen to take a break. If this seems impossible considering your present schedule, it may be that you need to delegate. With a little creative thinking what seemed like a burden may no longer appear so. Call for more...

A powerful Lunar Eclipse may mean the week begins on an emotional note, which could inﬂuence relationship decisions. This and another edgy tie, suggests leaving anything important until later in the week when your outlook can be more positive, and others can be at their most supportive. Call for more...

The Sun’s move into your lifestyle sector can highlight your routines and how well they are working. This can be a major consideration if you’re experiencing delays with an important project and wish to remedy this. Later in the week a stalemate could give way to a rush of activity. Call for more...

With the Sun in a secluded zone, the coming weeks are perfect for tying up loose ends and reclaiming energy invested in situations that no longer serve. If you have lost your enthusiasm for something, then it may be a sign to let it go and move onto new opportunities. Call for more...

YORKSHIRE HOUSING TOASTS SUCCESSES An ambitious young man has won a Yorkshire Housing award for his determination and drive. Christian Lufwa was highly commended in the Young Person of the Year Award for his dedication and hard work in gaining qualifications and securing a job. The 24year-old was nominated for the award by employments and benefits advisor Imran Hussain. Imran said Christian was a role model for young people. “I put Christian forward because of his back story, his resilience, determination and resolve. He is a good role model for others.” Christian was born in the Democratic Republic of Congo and in 2005 he came to the UK as a child refugee along with his four siblings after the outbreak of war in the African country. The children never knew their parents and were raised by their grandmother in Congo and later their aunt when they arrived in the UK. “I migrated with my siblings when I was 10,” said Christian. “We lived with family in the UK until we were old enough to get our own house when my brother was 18.” Christian finished school in 2010 and went on to do painting and decorating for two years before taking up an apprenticeship with Leeds City Council. After this he completed his full training in carpentry and joinery with another company and when this ended he received help and advice from Imran to secure another job. This included help with updating his CV and improving his interview skills. Now Christian, who lives in Wortley, has been working for Leeds City Council as a joiner for almost two years thanks to the help he received from the Yorkshire Housing team. “It is great,” said Christian. “Joinery is a vast trade so there is a lot to learn. The Yorkshire Housing scheme is there to help people. I represent young people and I want to show them that there is help out there. Not all of us are into cars and chasing girls. It is about getting the right help and being given a chance. And if this happens we will try and do something with our lives.” His ambition now is to become a supervisor. “I have never seen a person of ethnic minority in LCC in a managerial

or supervisory role so I hope to become a supervisor one day. There is diversity but there are few higher positions so that would be an ambition of mine.” Christian hopes to bring his grandmother to the UK from DRC one day and sees his future in Congo. “I see myself getting old and moving back to DRC. Being here has given me the opportunity to further my education and as a young person you need help to be self-reliant and Yorkshire Housing has provided that. This is a way of helping myself and my family back home.” Yorkshire Housing is one of Yorkshire’s largest social housing providers managing 18,000 affordable and social rent homes, with plans to build 3,000 more by 2021. It also provides a range of services to help people live independently in their own homes across the region. Meanwhile one of Yorkshire Housing’s customers was put to the test when he pitched his business ideas to hit BBC 2 show Dragons Den. Rocky, a former chef, runs Mi’ Mam’s Food Company, a business which specialises in sweet and savory Yorkshire Puddings and pies. He named the company in memory of his mother, who never forgave him for making better Yorkshire Puddings than she could. Initially he produced fresh Yorkshire Pudding batter for the catering trade and the retail sector. But demand soon increased when he worked in a community kitchen stall in Leeds, where he had lots of individual requests for pies with different fillings. Through support from Yorkshire Housing’s employment and enterprise team he began to build his business, offering an increasing varieties of pies and offering an extensive mail order delivery business. He also has a growing fan group on Facebook. Yorkshire Housing enterprise coach, John Bolton, helped him to put together his business case for the programme. His pitch was to get enough financial support to convert his first coach into a mobile pie diner, selling them to Biker Festivals all over the country. His plan is to build up a fleet of vehicles. Nicola Flett, employment and enterprise

NEIGHBOURHOOD INVESTMENT PLANS

Shefﬁeld plans to reduce the rents for over 39,000 council homes in line with the national rent policy for rent-setting. The plans have been published as part of the council’s annual review of the Housing Revenue Account business plan, working closely with tenants and residents. As well as the rent reductions, the proposals outline how the council will deliver on its key priorities and invest in tenants’ homes to ensure that they are well maintained over the next 5 years. If approved at Cabinet on 16th January, the council will continue to adopt a proactive approach to managing the city’s neighbourhoods, supporting tenants affected by welfare reform changes and re-shaping the repairs service. In addition, following the Government’s announcement to lift the Housing Revenue Account Debt Cap for local authorities the business plan proposes a further increase in the city’s new build programme. This will involve building 1,600 new homes and acquiring new homes to substantially

increase the number of homes and type of homes the city needs. Overall there will be particular emphasis on keeping costs under control and exploring housing revenue account savings. This will be achieved as a result of getting better value for money on contracts and paying for the services that the council uses. Councillor Jim Steinke said: “We want to build homes of the right size and type in the right places to make sure we are meeting increased demand for social rented and specialist homes in the city in the right way. We know that tenants want more investment in the environment surrounding their properties in particular, so we will be working together with tenants and residents on amending existing policies and introducing new policies during the year that could improve services and improve the quality of homes.”

team leader, said:“I’m really proud that Rocky has had a chance to pitch his business ideas to BBC 2’s Dragons Den. The Enterprise and Employment team helped him to develop his business in the early days, but its testament to his hard work that the business has grown so much and he has managed to pitch his ideas to Dragons Den.” For more information visit: www.yorkshirehousing.co.uk.

AVOIDING FRAUD

Fraud is a criminal activity committed by those acting in a deceitful way. There are many different types of fraud, but all have the same principles. Fraud is when trickery is used to gain a dishonest advantage, usually financial, over another person. There are many words used to describe fraud: scam, con, swindle, extortion, sham, double-cross, hoax, cheat, ploy, ruse, hoodwink, confidence trick. Individuals and businesses can all be victims of fraud. Bank account fraud, benefit fraud and identity fraud are common. But there are many approaches these fraudsters will use. For example selling medicines, gold, shares, holidays, tickets for shows, etc. Did you know? 1 in 5 people fall victim to fraud every year Nearly 50% of all adults have been targeted by fraudsters Technology is enabling fraudsters to carry out attacks quicker and employ more complex behaviour’s to remain undetected. Most Common fraud types: Mail fraud: con artists use fake lotteries and prize draws, get-rich-quick schemes, bogus health cures and pyramid selling to get money from their victims. Investment fraud: the victim is offered investment opportunities in land, fine wines, share sales or carbon credits which have little or no value. Romance fraud: the fraudster meets someone on a dating site and gains their trust. They tell their victim they need money for a family emergency or flights over to see them. Courier fraud: fraudsters call and trick the victim into handing cards and PIN numbers, cash or jewelry to a courier on their doorstep. Fraud recovery: when fraudsters approach the victim again under a different guise, such as Trading Standards or Court officials, demanding money up front in order to finance court action to recoup some of the losses from the original crime. If you think you have been a victim of fraud, even if it was unsuccessful you should report it. If you do not report it, the fraudster will learn by the experience and may be successful next time. Action Fraud Action Fraud is the UK’s national fraud and internet crime reporting centre. They can provide information about fraud and financially-motivated internet crime. If you have been scammed, ripped-off or conned, you can report it to Action Fraud. Report fraud to Action Fraud www.actionfraud.police.uk 0300 123 2040

LOCAL BUSINESSES HELP SHEFFIELD DIVERS REACH NEW HEIGHTS

Three Yorkshire-based businesses have joined forces to create a unique scholarship fund for the City of Sheffield Diving Club. TRI-Sports Consultancy, SC Sports, and FM247 Group are offering the club a financial boost to help young athletes needing extra support for training and competing at all levels. With backgrounds in sport infrastructure and grassroots development Matt Bartle of TRI-Sports and Scott Ward of SC Sports recognised the difficulty many athletes face in achieving their goals in less commercially driven sports. FM247 Group, a facilities management business, joined the initiative after working with TRI-Sports on a number of developments around the country. Gary Horton, Director of FM247 Group said; “When Matt talked to us about the scheme we wanted to be involved straight away. We’re a Sheffield business with a social conscience and as such thought it was a great opportunity to support young athletes in our area” Matt Bartle said: “Sheffield Diving is an exciting and unique club that offers expertise and training for over 400 children every week. For these young sportspersons to be coached and supported by some of the best athletes and coaches in the country is an invaluable experience that stays with them throughout their life. Sport isn’t a level playing field in terms of funding and we’re keen to plug the gap and help young athletes where we can. ” Sheffield Diving Head Coach Tom Owens said: “Participation in sport shouldn’t be prohibited by financial circumstance. It’s fantastic to have local businesses supporting local athletes. The scholarship fund will ensure that mounting costs won’t be a limiting factor for them to fulfil their potential. We’re looking forward to working with all three businesses, drawing on their knowledge and expertise to explore new opportunities for the organisation.”

CITY FAVOURITE VENUE SET FOR REVAMP PLANS for the future of Sheffield city centre theatre and arts space The Montgomery are now well under way. The Surrey Street venue, loved by generations of Sheffield community theatre companies, is aiming to see an ambitious programme of refurbishment work begin in 2022, with completion set for 2023. And the venue’s Managing Director, Dawn Reynolds, says that with early planning stages now well under way, she is more confident than ever that the project can be completed on time. “We have already had some extremely productive and constructive meetings with our most regular users, the community theatre companies of Sheffield, and are delighted that they are very supportive of what we have planned,” she said. “There was a lively and constructive discussion about what was needed and I think everybody recognises the part The Monty has to play in the cultural life of the city. I am now working on key strategic documents that will go to our trustees before we take the project on the next vital step, the development of a feasibility study. Only once that is in place can we start talking to architectural designers and, even more importantly, begin the massive fundraising process that will be the key to the proj-

ect’s success.” Among the proposals currently aimed at bringing the complex ﬁrmly into the 21st century are a complete refurbishment of the front of house, main auditorium and backstage facilities. A new Surrey Street main frontage would give the venue a much greater presence and identity. A new affordable recording studio, bar area, improved toilet facilities and public spaces are just some ideas that would enhance the venue and create a more welcoming environment for visitors. And the installation of a lift would address the long-standing problem of access, enabling The Montgomery to offer more relaxed performances, dementia friendly workshops and more, making it a theatre and arts centre available to everyone. “We want The Monty to be loved by all the communities of Shefﬁeld which means it has to be accessible, bright and ready for 21st century usage while at the same time retaining that important feeling for its remarkable heritage - a heritage that goes back well over a hundred years. What we want is for the community companies to see The Monty as their theatre and their arts centre, somewhere that can be called home and can be built on and

DALE TAVERN

OBITUARY: GLEN DALE It is with great sadness that we have to announce the passing of legendary local entertainer and former Mercury Clubland Award winner Glen Dale. Glen has been a regular in the venues of the region for decades but first found fame as part of sixties Group The Fortunes. In an interview in 2008 Glen said“We were in Germany when it hit the charts but we still honoured our bookings in Sheffield at the same money. We did ourselves a lot of good with that.” Glenn also recalled how the group really were big in Sheffield. “We had a massive following. We’d go to a club a couple of hours early to set things up and find people already queuing to get in,”. After leaving The Fortunes Glen continued to perform and be a very popular entertainer at many of the region’s clubs and venues. Glen will be remembered fondly by all those who ever saw him live on stage and will be dearly missed.

INNOCENT DRIVERS HIT BY CAR CLONING CRIMINALS

Unsuspecting motorists face being charged with offences they didn’t commit due to car-cloning criminal gangs, a top police official is warning. Thousands of number plates are being copied by gangs who then rack up speeding fines and congestion charges while using the cloned plates. In some cases criminals fill up cars with fuel and drive off without paying, while more serious offences include ram raids. A leading police officer is now calling on car manufacturers to “play a part” in doing more to protect innocent motorists and make it more difficult for criminals to clone plates. David Jamieson, police and crime commissioner for the West Midlands region, called number plate cloning a “very considerable problem.” He said: “We're seeing thousands of plates being stolen just in the West Midlands – Merseyside, Greater Manchester and West Yorkshire are seeing huge rises as well.”

VISIT US AT:

SOUT H YO RKS.

SHEFFIELD S9 2SP

Mr Jamieson called it “ludicrous” that cars are still being made where plates can be taken off with ease, although acknowledged government cuts had played a part in the rise of cases. He added: “The number of police ofﬁcers we have, especially on car patrol, has reduced and you cannot do everything.” If you’re getting accused of offences you haven’t committed and are worried your number plate has been cloned, you should: Contact the organisation issuing the ﬁnes or penalty points and explain your situation. Contact both the police and the Drivers and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) and inform them you think your number plate has been cloned, providing all information you can. If you’re buying a used car and want to check the number plate on the vehicle is legitimate, you should: Look out for any signs that the car’s paperwork has missing information or has been tampered with, such as missing pages and altered details. Check the serial number and DVLA watermark on the vehicle’s V5 logbook, and check the numbers in the logbook correspond to those etched onto the vehicle itself. If you want complete peace of mind before buying a used car, take advantage of the RAC’s Car Check service, which can instantly check a vehicle’s history in just three easy steps.

COUNTY SENIOR FOOTBALL with Michael Clarke

The weekend saw the first full league programme since the New Year, with 15 games taking place across the leagues’ three divisions. Premier Division League leaders North Gawber Colliery were made to work hard for their victory over mid-table Hepworth United on Saturday. Goals from Jake Bedford and Joe Jackson were enough to give North Gawber a 2-1 win in the end and maintain their three point lead atop the table. Second placed Dodworth Miners Welfare had a similarly tight victory, as they beat Grimethorpe Sports 1-0 at home. Level on points with Dodworth are Stocksbridge Park Steels Reserves (having played a game more), after they beat Handsworth Parramore Reserves 3-0 away on Saturday. Defending champions Swinton Athletic are just a further two points back, after they beat High Green Villa 2-1 at home. Frecheville made it five league wins on the spin, with a 3-1 away win over Denaby United. The win takes Frecheville up sixth place. Fifth place Penistone Church Reserves’ unbeaten run away from home in the league continued with a 2-1 win over South Kirkby Colliery. Penistone’s last loss away from home in the league came all the way back on the 22nd August – a 2-0 defeat to second placed Dodworth. Jubilee Sports claimed their first league win since late-October, with a 2-1 home win over Wombwell Main. Division One Ecclesfield Red Rose 1915’s 13 game

100% start tot eh season came to an end on Saturday, as they were beaten 3-2 at home by third placed Burngreave FC. John Lufudu starred for Burngreave, scoring twice. Burngreave trail Ecclesfield by six points, with a game spare. Second placed AFC Dronfield cut Ecclesfield’s lead at the top to just a point, after a 2-0 away win over Wombwell Main Reserves. However, Dronfield have played three games more than the leaders. Houghton Main stretched their unbeaten run to nine matches with a 3-0 win over Boynton Sports at Killamarsh Juniors Football Ground. Houghton Main remain in fourth place. Jordan Cooper scored a hat-trick within 23 minutes for Denaby Main in their 9-0 win over bottom side Millmoor Juniors. Cooper went on to score twice more in an emphatic victory for the fifth place outfit. Division Two With league leaders Sheffield Union not in action, Wombwell Town took the opportunity to take top spot with both hands, as they beat Thurcroft Miners Welfare 8-0 at the Thurcroft Hub. Both Ryan Smith and Luke Norbury scored hattricks for the in-form Wombwell. Dodworth Miners Welfare Reserves moved into fourth place with a 4-0 win over United Worksop at Manton Athletic Sports Club. Goals from Arron Gordon, Josh Malin, Jack Wiggett, Jamie Lawson and Alec Ransome gave second bottom AFC Dronfield Reserves a 5-2 home win over New Bohemians. Swinton Athletic Reserves made it backto-back wins for the first time this season, with a 4-2 win over Ardsley Athletico Juniors at Netherwood ALC.

so accuracy was paramount. The lead hit the bottom, and I resumed my wait… A second bite was met with determined resistance as a feisty chub of around a pound tried to shed the hook, but it was soon netted and returned downstream. Just ten minutes in and two bites had resulted in a typical small stream chub, so I was off to a good start. The next two indications were far subtler and each retrieval was met with distaste; both times, a female Signal Red crayfish, bellies adorned with hundreds of eggs, were unhooked and quickly despatched. Even when dead, no part of the Signal Red should be returned to the waterway, in fact it’s illegal to do so, so don’t get caught out! Another similarly sized chub was quickly followed by a two more, bringing the total to four, and then a very positive whack on the rod tip saw the biggest fish of the day banked, another quality chevin of perhaps 3lb (if I’m lucky!) before a final fish made the tally six. My three hour visit had been productive, my bargain seatbox had held everything I needed (and more importantly didn’t collapse when I sat on it!) and the fish had been obliging so it had been a great little trip and very enjoyable. I could have gone to a circuit carp water for the weekend, taken a mountain of kit, spent 48 hours in freezing conditions with nothing to show for it, or I could have enjoyed the solitude and tranquillity of a couple of hours by the gurgling waters of the river; it’s a no brainer for me… Simple tactics and baits, using the bare minimum of kit, and I’d had a

delightful time… just how fishing should be. At this time of year, I do try to adapt my fishing to the likely captures; pike, chub, perch, roach and grayling are all targets for me, as I’d much rather catch something than go camping, but what about you? I ran a Twitter poll this week, aimed at anglers under the age of 35 years old and was surprised by the results; 73% of those polled rarely, if ever, fish for anything but carp! I find that astonishing; a huge percentage of anglers would rather be camped out in the bitter cold hoping for a bite, rather than change their target and catch fish regularly throughout the colder months! Each to their own I know but doesn’t it give you food for thought? If you are one of the 73% why not try something different? You never know, you might catch a surprise!

home team to one shot. “It was literally one-way traffic. We did everything we could to win a game but unfortunately for us, it did not drop for us. You can’t ask anymore from our team, we just need to take our chances.” The pivotal moment of the game came when Sean Raggett failed to cut out Freddie Sears’ cross and Keane pounced on the indecision to lash home from close range. Despite the Millers limiting to the hosts to few clear-cut chances over the course of the 90 minutes, the Rotherham boss was disappointed with his side’s defending in Ipswich’s winning MILLERS boss Paul Warne admitted that goal. he was left scratching his head at how his “Ipswich had two up top and we knew we side came away from Ipswich Town without would have to ride the storm in the first part any reward – after Will Keane’s first-half of the game, hence why I went with a sitter in strike turned the relegation clash in the midfield,” Warne added. home side’s favour. “We did that pretty well but it was a bit of an Following a tepid first-half display, the Millers error for the goal, but there are always errors were a much-improved side following the when goals are conceded. interval and despite penning the home side “I could be standing here after a three-one win deep for large spells of the second-half, Paul but that wasn’t the case.

ROWE EXPECTS ROVERS TO BOUNCE BACK Captain Tommy Rowe says Rovers will be looking to stay level headed following just their second defeat in 13 games in all competitions. Rowe came off the bench to score at Wycombe, but a Paris Cowan-Hall brace either side of Curtis Thompson’s equaliser saw the Chairboys take three points on Saturday to leave Rovers frustrated. “It doesn’t matter where you go, away games are always going to be difﬁcult. We got our goals through our hard work and endeavour, but we changed the way we played a little bit afterwards and we dropped our standards which should never happen,” said Rowe. “Even though we weren’t at our best in the ﬁrst half, we managed to stay in the game against a very good side who set up very well, and credit to them because they really stuck to their game plan and got the win. There’s a

WAY BELOW EXPECTATIONS Steve Agnew pulled no punches in his assessment of the Owls’ performance following the 3-0 defeat at Hull. Despite the Tigers’ status as the in-form team

of the Championship, Agnew saw little of his side in a positive sense at the KCOM Stadium. He said: “We were way, way below standard today and we got what

we deserved. “Hull were very good but we were the opposite and for that we take collective responsibility as a coaching staff and group of players.

“Sometimes football surprises you and today was one of those days. We didn’t see that coming. “Keiren Westwood made a fantastic save after about 30 seconds and we were on the back foot from the off and just couldn’t get going. “You can’t put your ﬁnger on why that was

but what I do know is that performance was way below the standards we expect.” The Owls have a quick-ﬁre opportunity to improve when they travel to Luton in the FA Cup third round replay on Tuesday night. And Agnew welcomes the chance to banish the Hull display and get back out on the ﬁeld at Kenilworth Road. He added: “After a game like today you want to

that underlined their credentials as the form team in the division. Newly-crowned Championship Player of the Month Jarrod Bowen showed why he is fast becoming hot property, scoring twice to put Hull in the driving seat. Substitute Frazier Campbell saw them over the line to round off a dominant display on an afternoon to forget for Wednesday. Conversely, the Tigers played like a team on top of their game, particularly in the ﬁrst half, and went close inside two minutes when Kevin Stewart forced a ﬁne save from Keiren Westwood following a neat three-man move. Westwood darted off his line to thwart Chris Martin 10 minutes later before skipper Marcus Henriksen tested the Owls’ keeper with a low drive that was palmed to safety. Hull went on to control possession as the contest unfolded, causing problems in and around the danger zone, and deservedly made the breakthrough on the stroke of half time. Key men Bowen and Kamil Grosicki looked dangerous on the ball throughout and the warning signs

for Wednesday were evident. And Bowen duly stepped up to give his side the lead, cutting across the edge of the penalty area and unleashing a fierce hit into the bottom corner. The Owls were limited to just one shot in the first half, an Adam Reach effort from range that flew over the crossbar. And any ambitions of an uplift after the resumption were thwarted only five minutes in. Westwood was adjudged to have sent Martin tumbling in the area and the referee had no hesitation in pointing to the spot. Bowen made no mistake from 12 yards and an already arduous looking task for the Owls took an uphill turn. The pattern of play continued in Hull’s favour as Wednesday struggled to make an impression in the final third and the game was out of the visitors’ reach on 76 minutes. Campbell advanced menacingly into the box and pulled the trigger on the angle, the ball flying past Westwood and into the back of the net to complete a convincing victory.

BACK IN THE TOP TWO United moved into the top two of the Sky Bet Championship, with another home maximum. David McGoldrick’s tenth of the season proved to be enough to see off QPR, with United keeping a third straight clean sheet. Basham returned after suspension, with new recruits Dowell and Madine amongst the substitutes. Inside four minutes the Blades should have been ahead. Baldock’s diagonal ball found the run of Sharp and the skipper unselﬁshly laid it off to McGoldrick, but he side-footed his effort wide from a very promising position. United continued to force the issue, with Cousins booked for a late challenge on Fleck. The game

was pretty even, but United registered another attempt on target as Norwood tested Lumley. And in the 37th minute, some patient buildup play on the right ended with Norwood whipping in a cross to the near post and MCGOLDRICK got across his marker to header home past Lumley. The ﬁrst action of the second-half saw Fleck booked for a foul on Eze which stopped a potential counter-attack. With 22 remaining, Dowell received a warm applause, as he took the place of Duffy. There had been little action of note, with both sides struggling to create any goalscoring opportunities. QPR looked to break,

but Freeman’s shot was tame and easy work for Henderson. Dowell was then cautioned for stopping a break. The Blades were denied twice from consecutive corners, with Basham and then Egan seeing headers deﬂected clear. Seven minutes remained, as Clarke took the place of Sharp. Stevens found himself in a decent position on the edge of the box, but dragged an effort

inches wide. At the other end, Freeman picked the ball up and fired a shot at goal, but it went wide.Three minutes of added time were signalled and Stearman was introduced, taking the place of McGoldrick. Wells got to a loose ball first, before Stearman, but fired high and wide as the Blades saw the game out for a fourth consecutive league success.

REFLECTIONS ON A WINNING WEEKEND Chris Wilder wasn’t getting carried away despite seeing his Blades climb into the automatic promotion spots following victory over QPR. David McGoldrick’s ﬁrst-half header proved to be decisive against Steve McClaren’s side and the United boss was delighted with a four consecutive victory that saw them leapfrog Norwich City. He commented: “We’ll just keep rolling on, but we’re delighted to keep backing up the results and performances from over Christmas. The lads have had a break, but they were back at it again and this was a deserved win. It was a good performance, we showed a lot of different qualities, it wasn’t a free-ﬂowing display, but we’ll take the points, it was a big result.” Wilder added: “QPR only lost narrowly at Leeds, they’ve drawn at Villa and won at Forest, so we knew. We did lots of things right, we were in control, they had a spell after halftime, but then we got back into it. I’m

pleased for Kieron Dowell coming off the bench and he showed glimpses in what was a real group effort. I was critical of them after the Barnet game, but they’d had a decent week’s training and it was a jolt to everyone to say we need to do that bit better.” Meanwhile George Baldock believes the credit for United’s form should be shared throughout the team. Speaking after the weekend’s victory over QPR, which lifted United to second in the Sky Bet Championship, he said: “We’ve deserved the four wins in a row, we’ve put a nice little run together. We’ve defended as a team all over the pitch, our team shape has been excellent and we’ve limited chances for the opposition. It is a team effort with regards to clean sheets, we defend as a back ﬁve but everyone deserves credit.
