It’s a late kick off, so while most of the country is watching their teams return to action at 3pm, Wednesdayites will have to wait that little bit longer…

But after the last few weeks, it’s pretty safe to say that they’re happy to wait. Darren Moore has brought 12 new signings in, some young, some older, but all pretty exciting. And fans are starting to let those optimism levels creep back up again.

If the end of 2020/21 felt a bit inevitable after the points deduction, 2021/22 feels like a new beginning. A fresh start. And Moore is at the forefront of all of it.

Alex Miller and Joe Crann will be there at the Valley today as the Owls take on Charlton Athletic, so make sure you stay tuned right here on our blog to get all the gossip as and when it happens.

Up the Owls.

Sheffield Wednesday LIVE: Debuts aplenty expected as Owls take on Charlton Athletic

Key Events

  • Paterson had to go off with a head injury
  • Mide Shodipo and Josh Windass were missing
  • Kamberi makes his debut off the bench

He danced his way into the Charlton box after a mistake the hosts, but after going past two men his right-footed effort rolled just wide of the post. It was almost a very lovely goal there.

And now Iorfa is booked

He goes up for a challenge with Stockley, and gets a foul given against him. First yellow of the season for him.

Iorfa misjudges the flight of the ball, and Charlton have two bites of the cherry. Hutchinson doing well on both occasions to make sure they couldn’t capitalise.

Wednesday had been having a decent spell, but they got very lucky there.

Brown goes down in the box, but the ref waves on and tells him to get up.

Wednesday having a bit of possession now.

Marvin Johnson comes on for Andre Green.

The Owls skipper booked for a foul on former teammate, Clare.

Big Charlton chance

It’s blazed over the bar after a good cutback. There was a shout for offside, but the linesman was having none of it.

Wednesday a bit lucky that the finish wasn’t better.

Hunt and Bannan combine to find Kamberi, but the forward is offside.

It’s a bit end to end here, with plenty of turnovers, but Charlton are looking to more likely to score as things stand.

Again it’s Stockley, but he can’t get up high enough and his header goes wide. The defenders did just enough there.

And we’re off again. Charlton burst out the blocks.
