Wednesday are desperate for a clean sheet here.

First Wednesday sys as Windass is replaced by Adeniran.

Bannan finds Windass with a lovely throughball, but there’s nobody to get onto the attacker’s cross into the box.

Bannan on the volley!

Liam Palmer fantastic again down the right as he cuts out a ball with his head before powering down towards the byline. His cross is good, and Bannan has a go first time. He can’t catch it right though, and it’s wide.

Stockdale is up again

Bolton break after Wednesday give the ball away in the middle. A ball is fizzed into the box, but it goes wide.

Stockdale is now down and receiving treatment.

Strong hands from Stockdale!

A freekick from Iredale is fired on goal, but Stockdale is up to the challenge.

Moments later, Johnson tracks back well to cut out a promising attack.

Big touch from Iorfa

With Bolton bearing down on goal he found himself with two players to deal with... He was exactly where he needed to be to cut out the touch, and Wednesday eventually got it clear.
