Huge chance!
Paterson hits the post with a lovely flick after Corbeanu delivers a low ball across the six-yard area following a well-worked echange of passes with Fisayo-Bashiru.
Would have been a contender for goal of the season.
At the other end Wildsmith flaps at a cross and the ball bounces across the ground a few yards out, but fortunately for the Owls no one is there to turn it home.
First chance
The first half-chance falls to the home side after Corbeanu picks out Kamberi following a run down the right-hand side, but the striker’s effort is weak and easy for Cumming in the Gillingham goal to deal with.
Bannan exerting control from the off
The skipper is sitting deep and dictating play with some of those quarterback passes we’ve come to expect.
A standing ovation
Sheffield’s oldest D-Day veteran and lifelong Wednesdayite Cyril Elliot, who is 101 years old, is applauded from all corners of the ground following a rendition of The Last Post before kick-off.
We’re underway with the Owls kicking towards the Kop end.
