pauli Posted May 16, 2017 Share Posted May 16, 2017 Hillsborough Stadium 19:45 Wednesday, 17th of May 2017 TODAY’S OPPOSITES But enough about them. We are Sheffield Wednesday and we are on our way! Let’s do this together! MATCHDAY THINGS Matchday Pie: Terrier and Potato. Matchday Drink: Last chance to take the 16 Pint Challenge at a packed out Hillsborough this season. Matchday Song: Sweetback’s Theme by Melvin Van Peebles… MATCHDAY FACTS Sheffield Wednesday could have midfielder Sam Hutchinson (knee) back for their Championship play-off semi-final second leg against Huddersfield. Striker Gary Hooper (hamstring) is likely to miss out again so Steven Fletcher is set to keep his place. Huddersfield will recall goalkeeper Danny Ward in place of Joel Coleman after he missed Sunday's goalless first leg through suspension. Ward aside, Town boss David Wagner will probably name with the same team. A sold-out Hillsborough is a lively place to play and, if last season's semi-final against Brighton is anything to go by, it undoubtedly favours the home side. Carlos Carvalhal's side have lost just six league games on home soil this season, and we may see them in a more attacking mindset than in West Yorkshire. Head To Head ▪ Sheffield Wednesday are now unbeaten in eight matches against Huddersfield (W5 D3) in all competitions. ▪ Huddersfield have now failed to score a goal in all three matches (including play-offs) against the Owls this season. ▪ Indeed, the Terriers have only managed two goals in their last eight meetings with the Owls. ▪ Sheffield Wednesday have won both of their previous play-off games at Hillsborough without conceding a goal - 1-0 v Brentford (2005) and 2-0 v Brighton (2016). ▪ The Terriers have lost just one of their last five play-off fixtures played away from home (excluding neutral venue), winning three (D1). ▪ The team in fourth place has won the Championship play-offs in two of the last three campaigns (Hull in 2015-16 & QPR in 2013-14); this after a run 15 years without promotion for the fourth-placed side. ▪ Wednesday have reached the final of both play-off campaigns they have played in (4-2 AET v Hartlepool in League One 2004-05, lost v Hull in Championship 2015-16 final). ▪ David Wagner's team have lost six of their past 11 matches in all competitions (W3 D2). KING CARLOS’ PEARLS OF WISDOM We always play better when we are at home, this cannot be said for all the teams in the Championship, but for us the supporters make a big difference to our players. We have talked about the efficiency of our game this week and this was a very efficient performance. We were disciplined, we limited Huddersfield in the final third but we did not get a goal ourselves so I would say we are moderately happy but not euphoric. “The crowd in semi finals make a big impact, we have experience of this last season. We know how much our supporters helped us to beat Brighton. We also know exactly what we felt in our bodies when we went to Brighton, especially in the first 20-25 minutes. It was the same at Huddersfield and credit to the crowd for the way they helped their team a lot. Our supporters will be crucial for sure. One purpose of this game was to put the game alive at Hillsborough. At the end of the day we now have a final at Hillsborough on Wednesday and we will be ready to the game. On Wednesday at 7.45pm, again, it will be 11 players v 11 players with a referee and one ball and we must do our job because I am sure the fans will do theirs.” MINTYNESS We are here to fight!
