Buoyed after Friday’s 3-1 win over Reading, Wednesday resume their Championship campaign with a trip to Middlesbrough on Tuesday night.

The Owls have fired blanks in each of their last four league matches.

“Goals win games and, as well as we have done against two good teams in Sheffield United and Cardiff, we haven’t scored.

“First and foremost, it would be nice to get a clean sheet but we need to score goals.
