FT: SHEFFIELD WEDNESDAY 1 - 0 CARDIFF CITY
heffield Wednesday defender Glenn Loovens is a doubt after being forced off in the win over Newcastle on Saturday.
Forward Fernando Forestieri (knee) could come into the starting XI but midfielder Sam Hutchinson (calf) is out.
Cardiff City defender Sol Bamba could miss the rest of the season with a groin injury.
Goalkeeper Allan McGregor (ankle) should be able to play.
Match facts
- After losing four consecutive league games against Cardiff between 2010 and 2014, the Owls have since gone unbeaten in the most recent four (W1 D3).
- The Bluebirds have scored just four goals across their last seven league trips to Hillsborough (W1 D2 L4).
- Former Sheffield United boss Neil Warnock has lost only one of his last 13 matches against Sheffield Wednesday in all competitions (W6 D6), a 2-0 defeat as Crystal Palace boss in February 2009.
- Six of Sheffield Wednesday's last 10 league goals have been headers, including each of the last three.
- Only Fulham (22) have secured more points after coming from behind this season than Cardiff (20).

Yes. Be nice to hear some good reports on our style of play and perhaps starts from our fringe players too.
The travelling fans could do with some reward for their loyalty.
I will go for a 2-2 draw

Shame for the travelling faithful that Loovens is out. They'd have to an him a rousing reception I'm sure. Class for us.
Didn't their right back number 32 play for Swansea? :sherlock:

Why do goalkeepers palm the ball back into play rather than palm round the post.

I think they really did both come on with a selection of household culinary fixtures and set about lobbing them in our direction.

Agree entirely with that. I knew George Wood years ago and he used to say a keeper should never parry the ball straight back into play. McGregor was criticised several times on the commentary today and having seen the goal, he looked as if he pushed it straight back out even though he got both hands to it.
