Due to both sides inability to get through to the 5th round of the cup, the scheduled league match will take place on Saturday although Wednesday probably should be involved in the cup after their late collapse at Shrewsbury.
An interesting clash awaits, Wednesday have propelled themselves into the play offs with an 8 match unbeaten run since a defeat against Middlesbrough on 28/12/2015.
Last time out they defeated Brentford 4-0 although the Bees were reduced to 10 men early doors. They have a strong squad on the bench last time were Turner and McGeady. A non too shabby forward line including Forestieri who has about 14 goals this season, Bannan classy player and our ex one lace Wallace seems to be having a better than normal season and is always a decent taker of dead ball kicks.
However interestingly and well under the radar we have crept up the league to 11th, having spent only £50,000 on the team that won at Wolves last week. Strangely though we appear to be getting little credit from other fans on Social media, many of the so called bigger clubs supporters cannot understand why their expensively put together sides cannot beat in their words a poor/dire/s**t Preston side(delete as applicable), maybe it proves that you do not need to spend money to be successful, what we have is a squad that gets on together and plays for each other, we have no pre madonnas, we just play to our strengths, so beware Wednesday do not roll up on Saturday expecting to walk it, if you do you join the ranks of Derby, Hull, Wolves and Ipswich who have failed miserably since Christmas and the other bigger teams earlier in the season who have also struggled against us. (Rant over)
The Owls won 3-1 in the return fixture although we didn't help ourselves with some epic defending of the bad case. The Owls have sold their allocation of 5500 so a great atmosphere will be on the cards.
Team wise Gallagher was struggling on Saturday though expect him to get through this game, Pearson is now free of a ban, apart from that expect us to play our away formation on Saturday and try to catch Wednesday on the break.
For those Wednesday fans travelling there is an EDL march in the City on Saturday, so if you fancy a beer suggest you try pubs not in the City centre, safe travel to those arriving and till then may the best team win.

Why should a man go to work, if he has the health and strength to stay in bed?
