Live reaction from Darren Moore after Sheffield Wednesday beat Ipswich Town
The Owls and Ipswich drew 1-1 last time out, with Dennis Adeniran open the scoring only for *that* incident with Bailey Peacock-Farrell that led to a late equaliser for the hosts.
Now, as both sides look to try and mount a promotion push in the second half of the season, they’ll see today’s game as a big encounter and a vital three points – if they can get them.

DM on debuts
Credit to them, but I don’t really like to single out the individuals. It was a good team performance today. I’m pleased for them. But collectively I was really pleased, and it’s a good three points.
DM on the clean sheet
We wanted a clean sheet, and even though we were breaking forward for a second our concentration was spot on. That’s a credit to the players. We’ve worked hard today.
DM on performance
It was a hard-fought three points... Even after the goal I thought we kept being threatening.
Around our box we were solid, we were resolute.
All done!
A good Wednesday performance ends in a 1-0 win over Ipswich. It got a bit nip and tuck towards the end, but it’s job done!
Big block!
Ipswich piling on the pressure here, there’s five minutes added, and Storey just pulled off a big block in the box.
Strike!
FDB does brilliantly to get the ball onto the edge of the box to Bannan - he gets of a great strike that’s flying onto the top corner, but Walton makes a great save.
Second Owls change
A third debut of the afternoon, with Tyreece John-Jules coming on for his Hillsborough bow shortly.
