FULL TIME: BLACKPOOL 1 SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 1
Sheffield Wednesday goalscorer Clinton Morrison
Veteran’s late penalty forces replay
An injury time penalty by veteran striker Kevin Phillips forced a replay after Clinton Morrison put the Owls ahead at Bloomfield Road.
It was F.A. Cup fourth round, but thoughts of the League One promotion campaign were never far from Wednesday fans’ minds.
Gary Megson’s seven changes came mostly because of next Tuesday’s game at M.K. Dons.
Roared on by 2,200 away fans, Wednesday began to produce cohesive passing in the openeing exchages and carved out a great chance in the 23rd minute.
Sedgwick delivered a corner from the right and to the space beyond the far post where Lowe was waiting to strike a right foot volley cleanly. It looked destined for the back of the net but Gilks made a fine save, turning the ball away to his left.
Blackpool responded with another little spell of possession football but awful defending laid on another chance on a plate for the Owls in the 38th minute when the ball was knocked back towards goal in the middle of the pitch but straight to the feet of Lowe, who was just outside the box.
With Gilks in front of him and a few yards away, the striker did the right thing in trying to lob the keeper but his effort was far too low and went straight in to Gilks’ hands.
Half-time: Blackpool 0 Sheffield Wednesday 0
Wednesday began the second half with Palmer off, Sedgwick moving to the left flank and Jermaine Johnson fitting in on the right. The Owls were not long in putting together a penetrating move and taking the lead in the 52nd minute.
Firstly Blackpool saw their skipper and midfield player Southern walk away down the tunnel after being injured and within moments they were behind.
Prutton played a good ball down the inside right channel to Lowe and it looked as if he was going clear around the keeper on the right side of the box but Gilks got a touch to knock the ball clear. The loose ball fell to MORRISON who did superbly well, lashing home a shot in to the net where the defenders had tried to cover.
As Blackpool piled on the pressure, Sedgwick brought down Taylor Fletcher near the goal and PHILLIPS smashed the resulting penalty in the top right hand corner to force a replay at Hillsborough.
Sheffield Wednesday: Bywater; Buxton, Jones (R), Batth, Beevers; Palmer, Lines, Prutton,Sedgwick; Morrison, Lowe.

Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 05:20 PMI ment to put Alan smith. Big mistake sorry. I shouldn't try doing more than one thing at a time. I was asking what the person name was who did the commentary on radio pig on a different board. Because they say he gave a good unbias report. Unlike radio pig or piggy edwards. Got a bit mixed up translating langages in my head and wrighting at the same time. Sorry english and traslatig in my head to wrighting it down is difficult for me. English is not my first langage. But us humans do make mistakes. Unlike you pigs. But I'm sure you know what I mean when your having a conversation with someone as well as translating pig to English.

Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 05:03 PMThe replay is on a tuesday night, thats 2 hour drive at least, maybe realistically 3 with teatime traffic. Logistics dictate many travelling fans wont be able to make it due to work commitments. I shall be travelling to Cardiff this saturday as i dont normally work weekends followed by trips to bristol...peterborough...reading ..watford..and the promotion party and the den.......however i will miss derby and doncaster for the same reason i doubt a trip to your 1940's shed. Just to remind you the last time we went back to your 3rd world village and shed you managed to muster 5000 so please dont embarress yourself further with talk of attendances... Good decision to keep the tickets at a tenner tho....One final thought, i really dont think ive ever heard anyone say.."you know we just have to have a night out in sheffield". ..league one club with league fans.
dont worry be happy
Sunday, January 29, 2012 at 04:53 PMIt is Alan Smith.
