This was your last point but I think this should be the first point. Everyone in English cricket is to blame. The County structure/set up isn't right. We need to be playing 10 first class games a season with the best 2 teams playing off to win the overall competition. The hundred is the ECB main focus and not the first class game. then add T20 competitions not just in England but all around the world. I've just been watching BBL and some English players playing in it. That's people focus mainly Dom Sibley, Hameed and Lyth was the best 5 batsmen in Div 1, so we go back to them for this series in place of Duckett or Crawley do we? why? We struggled on these type of pitches cos they don't play enough county cricket or those pitches aren't being produce hence my point about when we should be playing them and not in the last week in September or first week in October. I am blaming ECB chiefs, Key, McCullum, Players and the county game. Everyone is to blame. Ripping it up achieve what? we do it time after time, do results get better in Australia every 4 years? The preparations wasn't right and that been discussed and admitted was wrong but we prepare the same way and its worked. We should have had 2 warm up games for this series, Australia Cricket board aren't going to allow us to loads of warm up games and they wouldn't allow to play at any test ground pre series, See Rob Key's comments Of course they should be full review and what could be improve and what needs to change. I don't think we need to cull everything. Probably a new test coach, few players changes like a new opener replacing Duckett, decide who bats 3, does Stokes as Captain and as all rounder, what is Will Jacks role? who is our best wicketkeeper? who is our best 5 or 6 pace bowlers for different conditions, then we need to decide who is best 2 or 3 spinners in the country and back them. Listen or read to Cook and Swann's comments today https://x.com/cricketontnt/status/2004374945745240372?s=20 Sir Alastair Cook pinpoints 'massive disconnect' as major reason for England's Ashes woes We get rid of the set up after every Ashes series away and do we actually improve? Archer can't finish a test series. Is Root or Stokes going to be around in Australia in 4 years time, highly unlikely. So where are the up and coming batsmen and bowlers and do we bring them in slowly over the next couple of years. Does Stokes stay as Captain? probably. Is Brook ready to take over, probably not. Do we drop Duckett for McKinney or for another opener? is Bethall ready fpr 3 position or should Stokes bat there, Is Smith the best keeper out there? who is our best spinner? who are the future bowlers and why is next 90's mph bowler to replace Archer and Wood long term? alot of questions for Key, Stokes and McCullum/or the next head coach to answer?

You are completely and utter wrong on Paul. I know Paul and to be honest you are talking utter rubbish. He isn't briefed by the club at all. He has different opinion to yours just like I have.

For me, far too focus on compare teams from different seasons when so much within that season has changed within the league, different teams, squad different, so many head coaches changes. Why is so relevant? based on his performances and the facts he is getting fitter and fitter. I'm sure he will start a game soon but you always had a massive and major point with this signing cos he was injury and that has always been your issue with Baradji being here. How many duds have we signed? some players work out and some don't. Even managerial greats like Fergie, Wenger and Mourinho make poor signings that don't work out. Mourinho had Salah and De Bryune at Chelsea and couldn't get them performing at all.

Well that's all down to personal opinion and what people see when watching games. But Alebiosu and Gudjohnsen have been our best 2 signings follow by Morishita, Miller and McLoughlin who have been solid of fairly good signings. Baradji is the one, I want to see more and see whether he can contiune to improve and show us why Ismael was so keen on here. that would be 6 out of 10 signings that have been better than Average, is that's s awful/bad? Is there actually any need to post such pointless comments towards a poster, why not respect their comments whilst disagreeing with them?

Family stand is currently JWL towards the BBE but used to be upper BBE before the move

Every club is special to their supporters and local area Cos people had to modernise with the times, yes older fans should be the option. Whether you attending a concert or comedy night or football game, everything is digital, your bank card on your phone or your tesco clubcard. only 3 or 4 years I wasn't a fan of watching youtube but only the last couple of years later, I watch loads of things on there including Rovers related podcasts

lets bring that 3 points home today, would take a point now tho. Will be interesting what we do if Gudjohnsen isn't fit.

The bowlers did very well but the batsman apart from Brook and Atkinson. This is seamers friendly pitch. In terms of what? We have rip it every time and got no better. The county game needs massive reform and reorganise. Less games, better pitches and playing at the right time. Who are the better batsmen then already in the team? The top 3 batsmen in Division 1 are players who have played test cricket and failed. Do we go back to them?.

correct. We have a fixed fee to sign him. Given he was key target for Ismael and Rovers, I fully expect this transfer to be permanent before end of the season

Do not despair about the Ashes – here are five England hopefuls to keep tabs on Asa Tribe looks very good technique from those clips Sonny Baker is meant to be quick

maybe show respect for people personal choice. Everyone has a different reason or reasons for attending games or boycott/not attending. each choice should be respect and not moan or complained at

No. Wrong type of player for us. What has he done since he was managed by Pochettino

Ive asked the question. Not defending anyone

But every attendance figures always including ST numbers even on teams like Man United. But the biggest blow at Sheffield Wednesday was HMRC bill. Is that not correct? Crowds are low at the minute but 12.30 kick offs are always lower attended. Lets see how the next 2 games are attend and the Watford game?.

Hence my point who decide to take them off sale, us or them? That's my question

Gudjohnsen has decent link up play. Alebiosu has been our star signing. Morishita has been solid signing. McLoughlin and Miller has been more than solid signings, yet the odd bad performance grant Baradji is the one I want to see more off. TGH has been orite Not every signing will work out but that's normal within a football club

Thanks for the reply.

Weren't all the tickets digital anyway?

Supposedly 1m clause in loan agreement Not a fan of McLoughlin?

I'm asking who made the decision. How's that passing the buck. I'm asking who made the decision. That's all I asking. Read my post. People too quick to blame us. I think given staff a few days over Christmas is good move by the club given staff are working on New Year day and around that period..plus this week. The staff are hard working. I was in the club shop picking presents up for family.

Gudjohnsen, Alebiosu, Miller, McLoughlin has good signings. Baradji look like he will be. Some havent

Is it Rovers decision to take them off sale or was the deadline made by Sheffield Wednesday?.

Maybe we should have signed Sanderson last season when we had the option. Would you have done that given what we know now

James Bord is supposedly the preferred bidder for Sheffield Wednesday. Also owns Dunfermline and ex professional poker player. Owns consultancy firm Short Circuit Science, which specialises in data analytics and AI.

How many match day fans did you ask on Saturday? what did they say? The concourse at half time was very busy in BBE. I posted what the people I asked said. The club shop would have been busy in the last couple of days I bet. People will be attending the Wrexham game and Charlton games as people would have bought tickets as Christmas presents.
