Moore’s programme notes

‘As we get towards the end of the season, these kind of games often do not pan out as they would on paper.

‘There is no such thing as an easy win and I would never, ever disrespect any opposition by saying that.

‘If your focus slips by just five per cent and the opposition’s rises by five per cent, there’s your leveller’.

Sheffield Wednesday have the best home form in League One and have scored in 19 of their 20 home matches.

Today’s visitors have lost five in a row and are winless in 21 games in all competitions.

But things are rarely simple as far as the Owls are concerned...
