All the reaction from Darren Moore as Sheffield Wednesday hold on at Portsmouth
and on Freeview 262 or Freely 565
The Owls were in a good run of form in League One going into the game, with Darren Moore’s side having gone 10 games unbeaten, however will be tested against an in-form Pompey that are starting to get into a bit of a groove under Danny Cowley now.
Both sides could potentially climb into the Play-Off places if they get a win this evening, and both will be desperate to get back to winning ways after they were knocked out of the Papa John’s Trophy and FA Cup respectively by lower league opposition.

Portsmouth v Sheffield Wednesday - Live updates from Fratton Park
Key Events
- Wednesday haven’t played Pompey since back in 2003
- The Owls are on a 10-game unbeaten run in League One
DM on Dunkley
I’ll have a look at Chey for this weekend - we hope to hear positive news on him.
He’s been colossus, and this game would have been tailor made for him. We’ll see where he’s at in the next 24 hours.
DM on Gregory and Windass
Lee said to me that he wanted to come off as a precaution - he said he felt himself tightening up. We didn’t want to take a risk.
With Josh he had a couple of parts where he was really sore, and I took the decision not to bring him.
DM on Brennan
Darren Moore says that he picked up a bit of a hip injury in training - so wasn’t available.
DM on the performance
The players were resilient and dogged tonight... To come here without a recognised centre-back, you have to credit the back three and the other players.
It was a resilient performance from us and you could see the appreciation from the away fans.
All over
And breathe...
It was hard-fought, and Bailey Peacock-Farrell has to take a lot of credit, but Wednesday leave with a point. Unbeaten in 11.
Scramble!
Wednesday putting their bodies on the line to keep Pompey out... Palmer again to the rescue as it remains 0-0.
Penalty shout!
Both Hirst and BPF are down on the ground after a Pompey break, and there’s huge shouts for a penalty. Ref waves play on.
Pompey piling on the pressure
It’s been all Portsmouth since Luongo’s sending off - they’re really putting the pressure on, and Wednesday are possibly lucky to still be level.
It did look nasty...
Luongo can’t really have many complaints there... He lunged in, his foot was high, and the ref wasn’t given too much choice there. Wednesday definitely up against it not.
