Lee Gregory, clean sheets and more - Owls boss discusses Sheffield Wednesday's win over Fleetwood Town
Wednesday and Fleetwood lock horns this evening for the first time ever, and Darren Moore’s side are looking to add to the four points that they’ve already picked up this season – by winning back-to-back home games for the first time since back in February.
It will be no easy task against the Cod Army, though. And despite their tough start to the 2021/22 campaign, Moore is adamant that his team will have to be at the top of their game if they're to get a result.
Our Owls writers, Joe Crann and Alex Miller, will be with you from start to finish to bring you all the latest news and updates from Hillsborough, so stay tuned! Up the Owls!
Sheffield Wednesday v Fleetwood Town LIVE: Owls looking for another home victory
Key Events
- Wednesday have never faced Fleetwood before
- The Owls haven’t won back-to-back games since February
- Moore will be eager to build on Doncaster victory
Byers from range!
More nice work from Hunt and Adeniran down the right... It bobbles about and falls to Byers on the edge of the box. He scuffs a bit though, and it’s well wide.
Chance!
Gregory with a cracking first touch to bring down a long ball... He puts a dangerous cross in, but Johnson isn’t able to make a decent connection on it. Good chance, that.
Lovely touch
Adeniran with a delightful little backheel to Hunt out wide, but he can’t get his cross right.
First sub
Hutchinson off, presumably with that knock he picked up in the first half. Chey Dunkley comes on - his first game in front of Wednesdayites.
Very decent...
An accomplished first half from Wednesday... They’ve looked tidy on the ball for the most part - and Hutchinson/Iorfa look really, really solid at the back.
Wing has impressed alongside Bannan once again, and Gregory has done what he’s been asked to do - score.
Could’ve been more than 1-0, but it’ll do for now. SWFC need to make sure things don’t slip.
Half time ratings... Pretty good!
Peacock-Farrell - 7
Hunt - 8
Hutchinson - 8
Iorfa - 8
Palmer - 7
Byers - 7
Bannan - 8
Wing - 8
Adeniran - 8
Johnson - 7
Gregory - 8
Iorfa! Not quite...
Iorfa gets his head on a looping Bannan corner, and nods it into the ground... Cairns is equal to it though, and gobbles that one up.
Half time.
