Sky have just announced a new Sky Sports+ channel for next season, meaning that lg1 and lg2 clubs are guaranteed a minimum of 20 live games and Championship teams a minimum of 24 live games.
For most of us who can't get to away games, it will be a welcome option, but is it likely to have an adverse affect gates overall?
Is more the impact on 3pm Saturday games the issue for me. Like the familiarity of going to the game about 1, having a beer, then coming out and meeting friends down the pub for the late kick off and checking all the scores.
the blackout doesn’t seem fit for purpose anymore, is just denying clubs money from streaming rather than helping attendances. If people want to watch 3pm games then they can do it easily enough.
Will see how it pans out in the new season but getting away from 90% of games played at the same time feels wrong somehow.

I do totally understand that football is more than just stats and there are lots of factors other than the keeper at play when we look at goals conceded.
However I really must insist on this, what good is a goalkeeper if he doesn't stop you conceding nearly a hundred goals?
Are we really saying that the rest of the Rotherham team was so severely out of their depth that with one of the best keepers in the league they still conceded that many goals? If they had a bang average Champ goalkeeper they would have basically picked up about 5 points all year and conceded a hundred goals?
I've honestly never seen the guy play so I'm not qualified to say if he is any good. I just need to know what is so good about him if he concedes about 2 goals a game in the Championship?
Also, if I was to use your Premier League analogy, how would newly promoted Ipswich fans feel if they signed Wes Foderingham from the Blades??
Didn’t Ramsdale get relegated and then a big money move?
I see your point, but if we’ve watched him and very few goals are the keepers fault then I think a good signing. Wildsmith won golden glove but think we all agree was better the season before.
personally be happy with Wildsmith staying, but if doesn’t want to then maybe this our best option.

Tyrese campbell be a good option up front

I know lots of factors contribute to things like this but there is a basic fact that the bloke conceded 85 league goals this season
Call me cynical but are we saying that they would have conceded well into the triple figures without him?
We need to be absolutely 100% sure if we're going to let Wildsmith go to sign this guy.
Let 23/24 League One's Golden Glove winner go for nothing, just to sign the statistically worst goalkeeper in the 23/24 Championship??
He got in team of the year, I’m pretty sure for example if Allison was in goal for sheff Utd they’d still be bottom.
Football about more than stats at times.
Also, like someone else says we have no idea what our budget is so pointless speculating. Personally happy being linked with players for fees again. Trust clowes to keep us on a stable footing so can spend what he deems fit.

Sibley is a LWB no chance in a 3 man midfield.
I do think he could play the 8 role, is similar to being a 10 with a bit more defensive responsibility.
sibleys main issue at 10 seems to be getting involved in games. Has quality on the ball and gets shots off.
agree he looks good at wing back though. And learning another new position probably not ideal at this stage in his career.

Not a chance, he left the club when we were near down and out and left in the worst way he possibly could. Have no time for someone like him in a rams jersey.
Zero chance, would rather play with ten

Did any of them think it was the fans fault?
Yeah I think it was just poor “banter”. I dare say some of our fans probably sing similar at other places.
i don’t care to be honest, have never liked Birmingham and happy to see them down. Bielik and Buchanan can have a stint down there.

IMHO only Adams from those three is anywhere near the level we will need next season.
Smith is a good solid pro dropping through the divisions and Thompson is little more than a keen runner.
Winning the midfield will be so important and will require strength, stamina and guile.
I think we probably need at least two, possibly three new midfield players in our squad.
Agree on smith and Thompson, smith should be Adams back up. Like you say Thompson runs a lot. He does seem to be a more positive player now and plays forward a lot more than when first in the side. Would be surprised if Thompson plays much next season.
We need to replace bird and hourihane I’d say. Brannagan or Sheehan be ideal for bird.

Not like our fans to write a player off without a fair chance 😂
How is it writing someone off? It’s just a discussion, think everyone is hoping he becomes a big player for us.
would imagine cbt himself would’ve hoped to play more and contribute more than he did.

personally not sure he'll be good enough for championship, impact player from the bench at best maybe
does anyone know if we are obligated to buy ?
rather we put the 300K towards Adams fee
Money will be tight and we really need to spend it wisely
Yeah I hope he cracks on next season, but he didn’t have the impact we wanted at all after signing. Showed glimpses but looked pretty raw.
I think the key is going to be him buying into pressing and tracking back, looked miles off in this respect.

He's a left back Conor Sammon. Bit of an athlete, tragic footballer.
Agree, I wouldn’t be desperate for him to stay in league one let alone the championship. Looks nervy all the time
-
Yeah he’s obviously worth £500k to our team, was brilliant. If can get for any less happy days.

Seems no reason we can’t sell 25,000. Still leaves 4000 each game for purchase.

I struggled with the quality of football at times, generally had to be not poor to win at home against a bottom half side.
was good seeing some new grounds, very happy we’re out of it though.bring on the championship

Burrows a no brainer if we can persuade him for left back. Sibley stepping up well but we have might to defend a lot more next season, not sure that’s his strength although much improved.
Sheehan and brannagan good ball playing options for midfield. Anthony Evans a more attacking player.
Four of the best players in league one, all decent ages and look to have class to play higher.
Mark Harris a good option up front too.

Yeah I imagine none of the games shown during the blackout window.
its very different from rams tv also, read that 3 championship games a week be played at 12:30 each week. Is a one in four chance will be each team. That differs get really from this season.
