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.

More from DM on injuries

‘Once we feel they are at a level then the opportunities will come, should we see fit, for them to stake a claim of maybe starting in the first team.

‘It’s great to see them all back in roughly at the same time, but they need some work.’

‘It’s hard for me to discuss that because he’s not our play. What we are delighted with is that, at the moment, its been a perfect fit.

‘We’re delighted to have him here on loan and long may his performances keep showing that.

‘There was another couple of League One clubs. We did really well to get him, the one club was literally all over him. He felt, from a footballing perspective and development, he felt Sheffield Wednesday was right.’

DM on Marvin Johnson

‘Marvin’s on top of his game at the moment. He seems to be getting stronger and stronger with his performances and understanding of the game.

‘I would imagine for him the games can’t come quick enough.’

‘They are into the final part (of their rehab). The final part is getting back in training.

‘I welcome that (squad depth). To see those calibre of players join back up with the main group is really good.

‘What we don’t want to do over the next seven to 10 days is pick up anything.’

‘When I analyse last week’s performance, even though we had spells I just didn’t think we were at our level best.

‘It was probably the same group. Maybe it was a game that came too much, too soon.’

‘For us, every single game since the start of the season has been really important for us.

‘We want to get back to our level best.’

Darren Moore is up next

Expect an update on those players making their way back from injury, his thoughts on tomorrow’s match and some reaction to Jordan Storey’s admission about his future.

JS on the play-off race

‘If you look at the table it’s tight. There’s a lot of teams like Ipswich and Portsmouth coming in.

‘The next three or four games is going to be massive and it’s going to paint a picture of what teams are going to be going for those four play-off spots.

‘I hope it doesn’t (go to the final day). With the quality we have got I’d fancy us to pick up a lot of points in the next five or six games. But it’s a funny old league

‘We will only have ourselves to blame if we don’t end up getting in there and getting in there comfortable’.

JS on returning players

Says the boost is ‘massive’.

‘It’s a real boost and it’s healthy competition knowing you have to perform and give it your all every game otherwise you could be out of the squad.’

JS on competition for places

‘To get all those players back, it’s massive for us.

‘To have all those players back is a real boost and it makes the players playing know they have got to be on their A game.

‘All the defenders are top class’.
