Dave Jones. A name that will make a lot of Sheffield Wednesday fans shudder. The former Wolverhampton Wanderers manager came to Hillsborough following the sacking of Gary Megson and the beating of United in the Steel City Derby, then steered the Owls to promotion from League One to the Championship.

SkyBet Championship: Doncaster Rovers
Attendance: 21,871
The previous match for Sheffield Wednesday was a hammering at the hands of a Manchester United loanee, Jesse Lingard for Birmingham City. This week saw another of the Premier League champions youngsters face the Owls, this time in the form of Federico Macheda - fresh from scoring 2 goals in Rovers last outing, a 2-2 draw with Nottingham Forest. Win-less Wednesday recruited Matty Fryatt from Hull City in their bid to score goals but with a shortage of match fitness, he would start from the bench.

SkyBet Championship: Yeovil Town
 |
| Sheffield Wednesday captain, Reda Johnson. |
Attendance: 22,328
With previous form for Wednesday being LLDDD and promoted Yeovil Town having a previous form of WLLLL, both teams were looking at getting points on the board as soon as possible. A stuttering start to the season for the two teams and the majority of home fans were expecting a first win of the season at the expense of The Glovers. Gary Johnson has bolstered his defence with the recent loan acquisition of Bristol City defender Liam Fontaine after Swansea City loanee Alan Tate has been sent back to his parent club with an injury. The Owls themselves have made the loan signing of Roger Johnson from Wolverhampton Wanderers in the build up to this game after sending Martin Taylor to Brentford and seeing Gary Madine found guilty in his court case (awaiting sentencing).
