A surprising transfer happened in the build up to this game, as Diogo Amado who only signed last month, was sold to Portuguese Primeira Liga side Estoril Praia Futebol. Home sickness being the reason given.
As the teams were announced one thing was for certain, Fulham were taking Wednesday seriously, naming a first 11 regularly seen in the Premier League. The Owls also fielded a strong line-up, including the fit again Gary Madine. So, to the action...

nPower Championship: Millwall FC
The highest Championship crowd of the day witnessed a game that again showed the Owls' determination and 'comebackability'.
The ever-improving Jermaine Johnson started with a performance that will strike fear into all Championship defences, concluding his mazy run with a rocket of a right-footed strike, flying past the keeper and opening the scoring for the day.

nPower Championship: Birmingham City
Well there's only one place to start today isn't there - a certain Barcelona B player, Rodri, signing for the Owls on a season long loan, with the a purchase option at the end. Yes, you read that correctly. Read it again! Oh how things change, Dave Jones really does have global connections.
Now, to the game.
Birmingham City come to Hillsborough for the Owls first home game of the Championship season. Pre - match I was happy if we were to end the 90mins with a point, as the visiting Blues have a Premiership pedigree and a strong side that will undoubtedly do well this season.

Capital One Cup: Oldham Athletic
Oldham Athletic v SWFC:
Fortunately for us armchair supporters, Sky Sports decided this fixture would be televised - and what a great decision it was! The build up was full of hugely optimistic tweets and texts about a resounding Wednesday win. By half time, we were desperate not to be crashing at the first hurdle.
Now all Wednesdayite's know that when we are on TV, we tend to under perform - the dreaded 'Sky Curse'.
