#SWFC Half-Time Report

With the Boxing Day fixtures now behind us we are half-way through the 2013/14 season and with Sheffield Wednesday still languishing in the relegation zone, the second half to the season needs to be a vast improvement on the first half. Ending 2013 two points adrift of safety and 21st placed Doncaster Rovers, manager-less, over reliant on loan signings and an owner reluctant to open the chequebook - it seems that Wednesday will be glad to see the back of the year and start afresh in the new year.

With Reading sitting comfortably in an early season play-off spot Royals' fans come to Hillsborough in confident mood, Wednesday on the other hand were languishing bottom of the table and win-less all season. A resurgent Matty Fryatt leads the line after extending his loan deal from Hull City and is partnered by former loanee Connor Wickham, who this week surprisingly signed on loan from Sunderland and was quoted as saying had 'unfinished business' with the Owls.
