Fleetwood Town v Sheffield Wednesday LIVE
Over an hour to team news..
And here’s what our man Alex Miller would go for..
It’s tough, isn’t it? At this stage of the season.. but I’d go with something along the lines of..
Peacock-Farrell; Storey, Dean, Hutchinson; Hunt, Luongo, Bannan, Byers, Johnson; Berahino, Gregory.
There’s always debate over Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and at his best he’s certainly one of Wednesday’s best 11 players, but does he fit into this system? I think there’s a fair shout to have him roaring on at tired defenders after 60 minutes.
Here’s hoping Josh Windass is deemed fit enough to grab a place on the bench. His return would mark a huge bonus heading into - HOPEFULLY - a playoff campaign.
