The Season Review: #SWFC

Stuart Gray, turned SWFC's fortunes around.

Given the start of the season, Sheffield Wednesday fans had the privilege of feeling safe weeks before the season ended rather than going through the roller-coaster of emotions on the final day of the season. Other South Yorkshire teams were less fortunate than Wednesday and the close of the season saw Barnsley and Doncaster Rovers relegated to League One in agonising style. Finishing with 53 points and nine points above the relegation zone, Sheffield Wednesday finished 16th in the league with 13 wins, 14 draws and 19 defeats and a goal difference of -2 with 63 goals for and 65 against.

Pride Park, Derby County.

Ground: Pride Park, Derby
Attendance: 26,421

Sheffield Wednesday come to Derby on the back of a 5-2 thumping of Reading in their last outing whilst the hosts look to bounce back from a 2-1 loss to QPR. The Owls maintain the line-up that performed so well last time out with the loanee strike force of Connor Wickham and Matty Fryatt leading the line.

nPower Championship: Derby County

Rewind back to the opening day of the current campaign and Sheffield Wednesday, fresh from promotion, claw back a 2-0 deficit at Pride Park to claim a point. Since then County have been pushing for a play-off position whilst Wednesday battle against relegation back to League One. Mid-week coup Connor Wickham starts on the Owls bench as the home side look to continue the recent run of form that saw Brighton humbled 3-1 last time out, whilst the Rams were hoping to build on the 3-0 mauling of Huddersfield Town.
