‘Buzzing about that’ – Sheffield Wednesday fans are lapping up victory over Charlton Athletic
Wednesday went ahead through Steven Fletcher before being pegged back soon after by Macauley Bonne.
It looked as though the match was headed for the Owls second 1-1 draw in the space of a few days until the visitors won a penalty and Fletcher fired in his second of the day.

@kwandarykitten said on twitter: “Now THAT'S more like it.’ and @O22IE_OWL was similarly short and to the point: “Great start to a Saturday afternoon, deserved 3 points.”
Notorious twitter cynic @hank04324803 was even impressed: “We’ve only beat charlton, weer 7th in league n am buzzing about that win.”
@andymcelwaine recognised that missed changes could have cost Wednesday again: “Good win that. Really needed it too. Nuhiu excellent. Center backs didn’t put a foot wrong. However, game should have been out of sight in the first half.”

Hide AdAnd @1867News called on Garry Monk to stick with the attacing formation: “Our defence is solid enough to allow us to commit men forward more often. When we do that we get the goals we need. Have some b***s Monk and keep an aggressive line up next game. Two strikers, two wingers and no CDM.”
Forestieri started but came off at half time after picking up a knock and @AndyD_C posted: “Thought Forestieri was having a decent game until he hurt his knee. He was tracking back & putting the tackles in so you can’t say he didn’t care or try. Like the commentator said, he’ll score that 999 out of 1,000. It happens when a player hasn’t been playing & rushes”
@TheBartman277 loved Fletcher’s reaction after his penalty was converted following an attempt by the Addicks keeper to put him off: “Great win today. We fully deserved that, about time the luck went our way. Fletcher laughing at the Charlton keeper made my day. Get in Wednesday”
@Pete_Ash68 celebrated then switched his attention: “Great result today #swfc not seen the match, so cant comment on performance, but I will take 3 points and 3 goals any day. Hopefully there will be no balloons on here complaining for a change. I am now mostly being a committed #Wolves fan”

Should have scored more but that will do nicely. Thought front pair were very good, when Fletch has help he looks a different player. Little mention for Murphy, his best 45 minutes in a #swfc shirt”
