Joe Wildsmith bullish about chances of Sheffield Wednesday shock at Norwich
and live on Freeview channel 276
That’ll be the attitude of Sheffield Wednesday down at Norwich City this afternoon, according to Owls goalkeeper Joe Wildsmith.
Wednesday arrive at Carrow Road 18 points behind the second-placed Canaries, on the back of a run of three draws against clubs jostling for position in the early-days promotion race.

But Norwich, fresh off a 3-1 defeat at Luton, are also without key men, with Todd Cantwell and Jordan Hugill among the high-profile players on a long injury list.
Speaking ahead of the clash, Wildsmith said: “They’re up there, they’re flying high. But sometimes it’s the best time to play them.
“We’re up for the game and notoriously we’ve done alright against teams that are up and around it so hopefully we can get back to winning ways.”

Hide AdWildsmith, in-form and out to prove a point with Keiren Westwood out through injury, reported a positive feeling within the camp.
“The team spirit with the lads is great,” he said. “We get around each other we have a laugh and we know when to get on one another’s back.
“The gaffer has brought that in, if somebody isn’t doing the work, they need telling. It only needs that one bit of luck or something to go our way. Hopefully we can carry that for the next few games and get some points on the board.”
