Live reaction from Darren Moore after Sheffield Wednesday's comfortable win over Crewe Alexandra
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls are currently eighth as they go up against 23rd-placed Crewe, and they’ll be desperate to claim all three points at Gresty Road in their first meeting with the Railwaymen since a 2-0 defeat in the Championship back in 2006.
Wednesday have the likes of Josh Windass, Nathaniel Mendez-Laing and Ciaran Brennan back in contention, while Lee Gregory was also given the all clear after he left the field during the 0-0 draw with Portsmouth with a bit of a niggle. The game does come too soon, however, for others such as Chey Dunkley, Dennis Adeniran and Sam Hutchinson.
Alex Miller and Joe Crann will bring you all the team news, updates and more as the afternoon progresses – and hopefully there’s a Wednesday win to shout about at the end of it.
Up the Owls.

Great goal
He’s been arguably Wednesday’s best player this afternoon so far, and he was heavily involved in the build-up to his goal.
Great feet once again from the skipper, who then fires home into the bottom corner past Richards. Ghosted into the box, and finished with aplomb. Lovely.
Pretty patient from Wednesday
The Owls have had a couple of half-chances, but nothing too dangerous just yet.
They’re being patient in possession though, and not giving the ball away by trying to force passes that aren’t on.
Crewe defending pretty well so far, but the Owls are still putting pressure on.
Another cross
Corbeanu gets it into the box after some good running from Gregory, but it’s just behind Paterson - who can’t get a decent connection on it.
Great feet
Lovely footwork from Bannan to beat his man on the left-hand side. The ball is switched to Hunt by Dele-Bashiru, but the offside flag is up. That was needless, really.
Gregory heads wide
Wednesday with another half-chance as Hunt whips in a ball to Gregory, but his header is over the bar.
Wing involved again, he’s been a lot more at the races than we’ve seen from in other games recently. Corbeanu also causing issues for Crewe.
Wednesday still pushing
Some nice play with a quick freekick from Bannan, it goes over the top to Gregory...
The Owls number 9 can’t make it stick though, and Crewe clear.
