Sheffield Wednesday 0-3 Hartlepool United: Reaction after Owls horror show at Hillsborough
The Owls were expected to make a number of changes as Darren Moore shuffled the pack once again this evening, and he did just that as only three players from the Wycombe Wanderers game retained their place.
Wednesday had some good history against Hartlepool – most famously in the 2005 Play-Off final – and hadn’t lost to them since a 3-0 defeat away from home that same year. That changed at Hillsborough as they were beaten by the same scoreline – this time at home.

Blazed over
A mix up between Paterson and Windass before the latter gets off a shot. It flies well over the bar. Half-decent chance, that.
From range!
Corbeanu smashes an effort towards the far post... Not sure if it was a cross or shot, but it whistled past the post anyway. Hunt couldn’t get on the end of it.
3-0. Game over.
Wednesday had been better, but that was horrendous defending from the corner and it’s poked home by Goodwin. Let’s call it a night.
A proper chance, finally!
Nice work down the Wednesday left, and Corbeanu finds Berahino... His effort is solid enough, but straight at the goalkeeper - who’s positioning was good.
No chances yet
Wednesday looking better, but haven’t created anything noteworthy just yet... Hartlepool in no rush, obviously. Could be a long half for the Owls.
Better tempo
Already much better from the Owls, who have started the half brightly. Bannan making an immediate impact.
