Sheffield Wednesday v Rotherham United - Darren Moore's reaction to undeserving defeat
The Owls are in a good run of form of late, winning their last four games in League One as they successfully closed the gap on the Play-Off places – however they take on a Rotherham side that are flying high at the top of the table and have won their last five, all with clean sheets.
Paul Warne also has one of the league’s top scorers at his disposal in Michael Smith, while Darren Moore’s side remain depleted with injuries keeping a total of 10 senior players out of the squad at present.

Stay tuned to hear what Moore has to say after that disappointing defeat.
Game over.
A very tough defeat to take for Wednesday, who were the better team for practically the entire game today... But they were sucker-punched twice and lose 2-0. Unbelievable really - they deserved more.
Wednesday pushing
More good play from the Owls as they try and turn the screw. Bannan has a shot blocked, and then NML just sees the ball get away from him.
Should be 1-1
Mendez-Laing bursts through on goal, but his first touch is just away from him and his effort on goal is too tame to really trouble Vickers. Big chance.
Then Byers is cynically followed just outside the box.
