“Sheffield Wednesday were the better team in every department and fully deserved to win the game. We were nowhere near it.
“We weren’t on the front foot. We spoke all week about what to expect from Wednesday today, we’ve had good results against them this season and we knew the crowd would play a big part because they hadn’t been here for seven weeks or whatever.
“The lads were prepared. Sometimes you can prepare as much as you like but if you don’t turn up you get punished.”

“The scoreline flattered us,” Schumacher admitted. Our two goals were good goals but they glossed over a really poor performance. We didn’t compete, we didn’t do the basics right and we didn’t deserve to be anywhere near the game. It should have been more than that.”
