nPower Championship: Wolverhampton Wanderers

Just before kick-off, the opening chant became a sing-off between the 2 sets of fans as Wanderers & Wednesdayites each gave their version of 'HI HO SILVER LINING' at full volume.

The first action of the game came with barely 90 seconds on the clock as a trademark Michail Antonio run saw him upended in the box unfairly, as Antonio bounced back up to regain control and fire a shot off, screams for a penalty were waved away by the referee.

Capital One Cup (r3): Southampton FC

A trip to the south coast for this Third Round tie between the Premierships Southampton and the Owls at St Mary's. Both teams were changed from their previous league games, with the hosts making 9 changes and Wednesday making 7 since their weekend defeat against Bolton.

The bright yellow clad visitors had a stern test ahead of them and the home side made their intentions known straight from the kick off.

nPower Championship: Bolton Wanderers

There was an air of caution around for the visit of Bolton Wanderers to Hillsborough, as Wednesday were on a losing streak and the visitors would prove difficult to overcome. After losing in midweek to Yorkshire rivals Huddersfield, the Owls were in need of a point at least against a team they haven't faced in 11 years.

nPower Championship: Huddersfield Town

A sign of respect was impeccably observed by both sets of fans before kick-off as a minutes silence was held in respect and memory of the 96 victims of the Hillsborough Disaster, a tradegy at Sheffield Wednesdays home stadium. Recent deaths of 2 soldiers serving in the Yorkshire Regiment were also honoured in the silence, one of which was a Huddersfield Town fan.

Now, with BBC Radio Sheffield live at Hillsborough and the Chelsea v Juventus match muted on TV, I was all set for an evening of football bliss and to top it off, the takeaway arrived just before kick off!

nPower Championship: Brighton & Hove Albion

Build up to this fixture was full of caution and most fans were predicting a share of the points. Wednesday signed star-prospect Ross Barkley from Everton on a months loan going into the match.

The fantastic Amex Stadium plays host to this match, down on the South coast giving travelling Wednesday fans a day at the beach before what was to be a tough test in the evening.

At the time of the first whistle, the Owls were sitting in 6th place and the first thing that I notice is the incredible noise being generated by both sets of fans.

nPower Championship: Crystal Palace

Selhurst Park was to be the Owls first stop since the closing of the transfer window, after late additions to the squad in the form of Jay Bothroyd and Martin Taylor - neither making the starting lineup (Taylor was on the bench).

Straight from the referees whistle Crystal Palace made their intentions clear, bearing down on Chris Kirkland's area - Zaha taking the ball on a lightening paced run, passing to Bolasi who in turn provided a cross to Glenn Murray, leaving the striker to slot home from 4 yards out. 30 seconds on the clock and the Owls were 1-0 down.
