Darren Moore’s side will take on the Reds at the Impact Arena at 7.30pm this evening, and fans are expected to get a first look at new signing, Olamide Shodipo, as well as fellow recent addition, Dennis Adeniran.

Adeniran played his part in the 2-0 win over Chester over the weekend, but the away fans in attendance will get to see Shodipo for the first time following his loan move from Queens Park Rangers on Sunday.

Key Events

The Owls have a corner after Paterson is tracked back...

Fisayo Dele-Bashiru was due to come on - then didn’t. Hagan remains on the pitch.

Darren Moore switches everybody...

It’s 0-0 at the break between Alfreton and Wednesday... The Owls will be making plenty of changes at half time, with plenty of fresh faces to come on for the second 45.

Wednesday grew into the game as it went on, with Mile Shodipo the closest to giving them the lead.

Big challenge from the German, who looks to be winded. He’s getting some treatment, but he’s up and looks to be ok.

Hagan drives at the Alfreton and hits one hard and low - it’s saved though. He’s looking sharper as this game goes on.

Brennan from range!

Didn’t think I’d be writing that one this evening... Not an awful effort from the centre back, but it didn’t trouble the goalkeeper.

Better, Wednesday...

Shodipo and Windass with half chances - both created by Bannan - but the hosts keep them at bay. Some great work from the Owls captain.
