Former Sheffield Wednesday striker knows what will have angered Darren Moore after draw at Bolton Wanderers
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls’ conceding of sloppy goals, particularly from set-pieces, has been a frustrating aspect of their quest to get out of League One at the first time of asking and it’s a good reason why they are hovering around the lower end of the play-off places rather than having an assured spot, perhaps even in the top two.
Leading through Jordan Storey’s first goal for the club, it looked as though Wednesday might get away with missing a raft of goalscoring opportunities before a poor attempt at clearing a set-piece allowed MJ Williams to equalise in the 90th minute.

“We’ve worked on them in training, we’ll continue to work on them in training,” he said. “We’ve got the psychology coach in with them, we try and recreate stuff, and sooner or later the penny has got to drop with them. It just doesn’t seem to be dropping with them at the moment.”
And former Wednesday striker Clinton Morrison knows how frustrated Moore will be, given the Owls boss’ reputation as a no-nonsense central defender in his playing days.
Speaking on EFL on Quest, Morrison said: "Conceding from set pieces; Darren Moore was a brilliant defender and he'll have his team set up, him and Jamie Smith, not to concede goals like this.

Wednesday are back in action on Saturday night when they travel to face fellow promotion-contenders MK Dons in a match that has been rescheduled to accomodate live broadcast on Sky Sports.
