Sheffield Wednesday vs Plymouth Argyle: Team news and live updates from FA Cup first round clash
and live on Freeview channel 276
It’s probably a small dose, if at all, but the old competition hits South Yorkshire today, with Sheffield Wednesday welcoming Plymouth Argyle to Hillsborough for a first round tie.
The priorities lie with promotion back to the Championship this season for the Owls but perhaps a run in the cup wouldn’t do any harm to build a bit of momentum after a sketchy season so far for Darren Moore’s men.
We have live updates throughout the day for the 12.15 kick off here on our live blog.
Sheffield Wednesday 0 Plymouth Argyle 0 - LIVE FA Cup updates
It’s all over
Who fancies a trip to Plymouth on a November night?
We’ve gone to a replay. Two fairly average teams, evenly-matched and not very good really.
Blur’s ‘There’s no other way’ plays over the public address system and in this match the teams were indeed ‘taking the fun out of everything.’
No magic in this FA Cup tie but Wednesday could well have had a penalty in the final minutes. A draw probably a fair result
Big chance to win it
Wing skies an effort over the bar after a ball over from the left. Lack of composure, there... it was a better and easier chance than he thought
Big shout for a pen
Though it may be out of desperatio to avoid a replay. Sow goes down in the box as Cooper slides out but the ref is having none of it
What a save
Scramble in the box and BPF denies Garrick, with an instinctive palm away as Plymouth looked sure to score
Still 0-0
Just when you thoughht it was lfting the air goes out of it these match again. It’s a frustrating match
Bets move of the match
Hunt and Dele-Bashiru link up well on the right and then Liam Palmer joins the fun, making a fun run through as a nutmeg picks him out but on his left foot the shot was never going to be a big problem for Cooper. Good signs though and the crowd are livening up too
Subs making an impact
Hunt endears himself to the home crowd with some battleing chasing-down and Dele-Bashiru has a shot that slices wide. Still nothing between the two teams but every so often Wednesday look like being a threat
