Sheffield Wednesday’s travel plans as Owls hire facilities on way to Wembley

Reds manager, Michael Duff, explained this week that they will be using Brentford’s training ground as they prepare for the game, with his side heading south a day earlier than their blue and white neighbours.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Moore revealed that his side had been given the day off prior to them departing Sheffield the following day – and though he wouldn’t reveal where they’ll be based, he insisted that they’ve very pleased with what will be on offer.

“We’re training at a different location,” he told The Star. “Probably one that’s not as much in the professional realm as what they’re doing, but it’s still been a really detailed approach in terms of where we’re going.

“It’s got all the facilities we want and need. We’ve done a recce on it, it’s excellent, so we’ll go down there and train for two days before we get down to London on the Monday.

“The players have had some time off today, so we can finalise travel arrangements and then get off tomorrow… As for the training, it is very much the same, we want to keep the continuity of the sessions going. That’s important for us in terms of the learning and the teaching.

“So the facility we have has all of that, we’re pleased to get it, and pleased that it’ll be part of our preparation for the game.”

The Owls boss also explained that he was quick to put to bed what happened against Peterborough United, insisting that focus has well and truly shifted to the new task at hand.

Moore added, “It’s been normal training, a normal day’s work, as it’s been throughout the week and that’s been that… It was a good night for everyone connected to the football club but once we got back into training it really was ‘that game is over and finished with now and it’s focusing on training’. About getting ourselves right and getting mentally and physically right for the game on Monday… Let’s not beat about the bush, we don’t even talk about the comeback because the comeback’s gone. That was then, it’s gone.”
