Darren Moore and Jordan Storey will be providing their thoughts ahead of the match as the Owls look to bounce back from last weekend’s defeat to Lincoln City.

A win tomorrow could move Wednesday back into the League One play-off places.

The visitors are comfortably nestled in a mid-table spot, clear of relegation danger but too far off the top six to mount a late top-six charge.
