'Let's hope we don't get many injuries' - Sheffield Wednesday fans have their say on team to play Exeter City

But the coronavirus outbreak at the club has left Holdsworth, leading the Owls in the absence of caretaker boss Neil Thompson who is among a number of Wednesday personnel to have tested positive for Covid-19, naming just four substitutes for the game with the Grecians.

Ryan Galvin makes his debut at left-back but other than his and 20-year-old defender Ciaran Brennan’s inclusion, Wednesday will go into the game with a starting XI packed with experience – which has surprised some among the Owls faithful.

Our Wednesday correspondent Joe Crann, writing on Twitter, posted: “Seen Ryan Galvin play for #SWFC’s U23s, and he’s a very tidy footballer… Looking forward to seeing how he adapts at senior level, but he looked a cut above in the U23s when I saw him. Kid’s got talent.”

So, what have Wednesdayites on Twitter made of this afternoon’s team news?

Let’s take a look.

@MattSummerhill Clearly shows how Covid has run through the squad. Suspect we only have the 15 tested negative

@ryanHarry_9 Better than I expected with the Covid issues although I would have played the lads who hadn't been getting much game time before any of that happened anyway. Would've liked Dele to start but I would imagine the very young back line would mean he has to play JP.

@best77 Not as bad a team as I was expecting compared to what Derby and Villa put out. Good luck lads. No pressure.

@YOLO8976 Really hope that a few are rested and that many don't have Covid.

@dannyswfc1867 Was hoping Bashiru got a run out today.

@karlos68 Wish them all the luck in the world

@Chris_swfc Only four subs. Definitely picking up some injuries today

@NewYorkOwls Stronger than I thought. Let's hope we don't get many injuries though

@GeoffSWFC There’s definitely enough quality in that first 11 to win the game but worth mentioning the training ground has been closed for over a week, it’s a tough ask #swfc
