What Darren Moore had to say after Sheffield Wednesday's win over Charlton Athletic
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls’ last home game saw them score and concede three goals in a dramatic 3-3 draw with Portsmouth, but they then went on to pick up their first three points of the campaign with a solid 1-0 win away at MK Dons.
Today, as two former Premier League sides go head to head, they’ll be eager to keep up their fine run of form at Hillsborough, though they will have to do it without summer signings, Michael Smith and Akin Famewo, who have both been ruled out. Famewo, sadly, is going to be out for some time.

Should have capitalised
Bannan’s dinked freekick finds Bakinson, he nods into a dangerous area in the box but there’s nobody waiting. Felt like a decent opportunity, that.
Brilliant Byers
Excellent work to chase down his man as he was breaking through on goal. Used his body well and won a foul in a crucial area.
Crossed in, to nobody
Johnson puts a teasing cross into the box, but - not for the first time - there’s nobody able to get on the end of it.
Triple sub
Byers, Bakinson and Gregory all take to the field... It’s the end of the afternoon for Dele-Bashiru, Vaulks and Paterson.
Windass makes a good run down the left before cutting inside. A block on his strike makes it an easy save for Wollacott.
Bright start!
Windass breaks after a Bannan header and whips a lovely low cross into the box, but a sprinting Callum Paterson just can’t get onto the end of it. Johnson picks up the ball afterwards but his driven cross is cleared.
Charlton break shortly afterwards, but their shot is fired wide.
