It’s set for an interesting evening as Sheffield Wednesday’s Papa Johns Trophy campaign for the 2022/23 season kicks off at Bradford City.

The Owls’ stacked squad has the quality and numbers to attack on more than one front and will be hoping to book a date a Wembley way down the line.

But first and foremost is a group stage to navigate - and the challenges of Bradford, Burton Albion and Leicester City’s under-21 side.

Darren Moore is a former fan favourite at Bradford and will be hoping to get one over on his old club.

Bradford City v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE updates

Well that would’ve been something..

A cross from the left and Paterson over-runs his mark.. and his attempted scorpion kick scrapes his studs.

Offside anyway..

Time for the kids..

Leojo Davidson and Jay Glover are on.. for Alex Mighten and Jack Hunt.

That’s that, then..

It’s 3-1 Bradford.. Slack defending again, it has to be said, as Kian Harrett snakes his way into the box and takes one of a handful of chances to shoot.

Wednesday haven’t been great..

This one won’t live long in the memory.

Good fitness built - particularly for the likes of Smith and Wilks.

Three minutes injury time nobody will ever get back.

Wednesday outdone 3-2 by Bradford City.

Second best on the night. But does it really matter?

Have a lovely evening.
