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.

A roar from the crowd
Wednesday trying to finish the half strongly after that mistake at the back, and have just spent a decent period of time in the Charlton box. Dele-Bashiru used his body well and the ball made it through to Windass. His shot was blocked. Better from the Owls.
Brilliant Palmer
A horrible mixup at the back as Heneghan plays a horrible pass back to Stockdale. He can’t do much with it except palm it away into the feet of Blackett-Taylor. The goal was gaping, but Palmer put his body on the line and got in the way.
Much better
Wednesday having a decent spell in possession now... Vaulks just clipped a nice ball into the far post, but it couldn’t quite reach his man. It’s out for a corner.
Bit frantic here now
Heneghan goes through the back of one player, Clare bounds down the right side, and Charlton have two decent chances to get a shot on goal - they both go over, but the second was a lot closer than the first.
Wednesday riding their luck a little bit here.
Good opportunity, but wasted
Vaulks picked a lovely ball over the top to Windass. He drove into the box before finding FDB - twice he set himself to shoot, but in the end couldn’t get an effort off. It looked like a good opportunity, but it’s gone to waste.
