I think the groundsmen looking after the pitch at Hillsborough went on the same training course as the Blackpool ones.

The curse of the 'former player always scores' is on our side with O'Gravy & Best however this is more than cancelled out by our current curse of scoring very few goals and giving away a goal ever time a shot on target is made against us. Don't expect a Murray at the Amex performance, the pitch is set up for a 0-0 unless Wednesday can get a lucky goal which they are not in the habit of doing at home.

This is Sheffield Wednesday:

A difficult team selection for CH as he does do not know if Loovens is fit or injured. I would assume Loovens was fit enough to play, but to load the subs bench with attacking players in case he is not.

Hillsborough Never been there. Never been to Sheffield. I have heard they have trams there?

Wednesday are a long ball team. At the Amex it was lofting the ball on to the heads of Greer and Dunk. Awful game even compared to the ones after. Wednesday played extremely well in defence and I thought Loovens was their MOM

Giles Coke seems to playing well, but his goal at the Amex was the only one he has scored this season and he may very well have fluked it. Maghoma may be their danger man. Maguire on the right hand side may have more joy as our left side is not so strong.

I tipped Wednesday to be pretenders this season, but I would disappointed of we don't win for the first time at Hillsborough. We need to make up for the Forest upset and to keep on target for 49 pts.

Expecting some caustic comments about Holla this afternoon as Warren Aspinall returns to the commentary team.
