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.

Another strike
This time it’s Jack Hunt who fires it goalwards from outside the box - Vickers gobbles it up comfortably though.
First decent Wednesday chance as Johnson swings a ball into the box. It bobbles about a bit, and then NML gets a strike off - it’s on target, but straight at the goalkeeper.
Attack from Wednesday
A lovely flick from Paterson sets Mendez-Laing through on goal, but the defender stands up to his stepovers and gets the block in. A good Wednesday move, that.
Buzzing
A roar goes up from the crowd as Wednesday win their first corner. It’s buzzing here at Hillsborough.
Ebbing and flowing
The Owls and Rotherham changing possession quite a lot so far. Rotherham looking the more attacking of the two - but the pitch is looking hard work.
Early pressure
Some early pressure from the visitors, who have their first corner of the game... There’s a bit of argy bargy going off in the box though.
And we’re off!
After a great rendition of Hi Ho Sheffield Wednesday, the Owls kick off. Cracking atmosphere here today.
