Sheffield Wednesday 1 Bolton Wanderers 0 RECAP: Owls take important three points
and live on Freeview channel 276
It feels like a big one today, doesn’t it? Not in terms of the points tally at this stage of the season perhaps, but for the mood around Sheffield Wednesday. A win could take them to within a point of the League One playoff places. It would be a handy boost for morale.
Bolton Wanderers are the side standing in the way and arrive high on confidence having spoken bullishly about what they plan to do at S6; grab control of the match early and attack the Owls.
Whatever happens, we’ll be on-hand throughout the day for the very best in build-up, action and reaction. Keep it locked to the blog below.
Sheffield Wednesday v Bolton Wanderers LIVE: Updates from Hillsborough
31’ - WHAT A BLOCK
Great stuff Liam Palmer, who did well to keep his composure to deny the twisting, turning Eoin Doyle in the six yard box.
13’ - Erm..
Just about every Wednesday player stopped playing there, assuming Sarcevic had run the ball out of play.. he hadn’t and Bolton had two chances in that passage.
Afolayan again with the second. Wake up, wizards.
8’ - Keep an eye on him..
Delapo Afolayan is a tricky customer and he’s just smashed one into Wednesday’s side-netting after a naughty run.
6’ - Wednesday in the box..
But Jack Hunt’s cross has too much on it and it sails over the interested parties waiting.
Barry Bannan just smashed Kieran Lee, who was embarking on one of those midfield runs we know so well.
Frantic stuff early doors.
5’ - Mixed stuff
A breathless start - Elias Kachunga could well have had an assist early doors. Remember him?
Wednesday just settling in - it’s definitely a new system for the Owls.
