The view from the visitors’ camp
Here’s what Burton’s assistant manager Dino Maamria had to say about Wednesday:
“If there is one thing we learnt about Sheffield Wednesday is that they are a very good team, they are a Championship standard team playing in League One, and that is no disrespect to the teams in this division.
“They have had a lot of good performances of late and they have just jumped into the playoff positions. We need to be on top of our game in order to get a result, which I am sure we can do.”
Will we see Johnson and Bannan tonight?
Both men limped off with knocks in the 2-0 win over Charlton on Saturday.
Darren Moore insisted they were just ‘knocks’, but we’ll see. Team news on the way.
