Ipswich 1-1 Sheffield Wednesday: Bailey Peacock-Farrell howler cancels out Dennis Adeniran’s wonder goal
and live on Freeview channel 276
Both sides head into the fixture occupying a less-than-ideal position in the early-season league table after being tipped for promotion.
The Owls’ good start has stalled in recent weeks and they have picked up just one point from their last three games, while Ipswich grabbed their first win last weekend at the seventh attempt.

The Scot taking his time, much to the frustration of Ipswich fans, but he could have taken a knock.
The lack of quality continues
Both teams have been poor in possession all afternoon. With the quality they have, this could have been a brilliant match. So far, that hasn’t proved to be the case but Wednesday still lead.
Owls corner cleared off the line
Lewis Wing takes and neither Saido Berahino or Sam Hutchinson can force the ball over the line. Both were involved and the striker’s header was cleared by the last man.
Sheffield Wednesday starting to turn the screw.

Great scoreline, but not a superb display...
Wednesday ended the half stronger than they started it, and things could have been very different if Bonne had taken his early opportunity to put Ipswich ahead...
It’s been a game with plenty of errors, a lot from the Owls, but they’ve ridden their luck and got away with things a little bit. Adeniran’s brilliant goal the difference, but Gregory and Wing have been the best players in pink so far this afternoon.
Not the best performance by any stretch, but it’ll do for now. - JC

Settled down...
Things seem a bit less frantic as the half comes to a close... Wednesday a bit more in control of things, and are mopping things up nicely when Ipswich do attack. They’ll be happy to take a lead into the break if they can hold on. - JC
