The gaffer has given his tactical opinion on how the previous two meetings between us and Sheffield Wednesday this season played out, with us winning 5-3 on aggregate.
BIG BOYS
“Listen I’m probably going to offend a few teams here but they are probably the two best supported teams in the league. They have both been in the Championship and in the Premier League not that long ago. It’s going to be a tough game and it’s going to be a big atmosphere. Hopefully the players can handle that and do themselves justice.”
3-0 AWAY LOSS
“The away game there certainly wasn’t the worst performance of the season. I have watched both games, I have probably seen them about eight or nine times this season because we play a similar shape to them so we do a lot of prep work on the games that they have played. The 3-0 win at their place for me wasn’t a 3-0 game, we had good moments in the game but didn’t capitalise on them.”
5-0 HOME WIN
“The home game, although it was a really good performance, it wasn’t a 5-0 for me either. I was actually at that game live just by chance because I was watching games. A lot has changed since then, we are playing with a different shape, different personnel and they certainly strengthened in the January transfer window.”
WEAKENED TEAM
“If you look at the backline they had that day for the 5-0, they ended up with Dunckly going off, Palmer as the middle centre-back and Marvin Johnson who is a left winger playing left centre-back.”
