Darren Moore opts to shoulder responsibility of Sheffield Wednesday downturn
and live on Freeview channel 276
Put to him that it is players of huge experience – one of the attributes that the club’s vast summer recruitment drive was built around – that are now struggling in a record-breaking race for automatic promotion, Moore admitted some disappointment but looked to divert responsibility onto his own shoulders.
Moore told The Star: “It's up to myself as a manager to try to sieve through and look through the fabric of why it has happened in terms of the performances and where we've been in recent weeks. The team has certainly shown their capability and the consistency that was a better version of themselves.

Asked whether he felt his players had let him down over the last month, Moore said: “It's about facing these difficult times and doing it together, staying together and keeping ploughing on. We have to keep focused.
“Today [at Burton] was a performance that wasn't the best version of ourselves. How now do we get the mindset back where we're able to get a better performance? It'll be a different match on Tuesday, we know that and we have to be ready for it.”
