Gregory has found his touch just at the right time for Wednesday. And Hillsborough in BOUNCING.

Bannan at the centre of everything of course, Wednesday are pushing the ball around reasonably well.

Hunt’s cross is too deep and goes out for a goal kick, but they’re building..

..they do look a little suspect at the back like.

They’ve shaken off the shock a touch and have begun playing football.

The crowd are bang up for it and behind them.

It’s 100mph as you’d expect.

Settle in, Wednesday.

What an atmosphere.

Now, for the boys to do their work.
