Sheffield Wednesday: Live updates from Darren Moore on new signings and injury latest pre-Crewe Alexandra
and live on Freeview channel 276
The Owls could make it 12 games unbeaten if they avoid defeat against the League One strugglers, but Moore will certainly be wary of the potential banana skin after Alexandra picked up a win over Lincoln City in their last game.
Wednesday have signed two new players in recent days, firstly Jayden Onen and then Kwame Boateng, and no doubt the Owls boss will have something to say about their arrival.

DM on January incomings
Refuses to be drawn on the number of players he wants. Wants to focus on the five games coming up.
‘Over the next couple of weeks so much can happen so quickly. It’s (about) working with the current crop we have got available.’
DM on the injury investigation
‘Certain things have been flagged up, so there’s certain things we need to work on.
‘There’s certain things where we made one or two errors’.
Fixture pile-up hasn’t helped either, he adds.
DM on the sports psychologist
They have been working together since the start of the season. Moore feels it’s been part of their revival.
Appreciates their commitment to playing football.
‘They play with an energy and a purpose about them. I think it will be a wonderful, fast football game tomorrow.’
DM on resilience
‘We are working on those aspects in training. When you have been on a decent run, there’s a little bit of pride that comes into it to go onto the next one and onto the next one.
‘What I was pleased with the other night was that they were really dogged and determined. I have just got to say ‘More of the same’.
DM on the gap to the top two
‘Not worried.’ Says if the team get things right on the pitch everything else will ‘take care of itself’.
On tomorrow
‘We have to look to improve on every performance. We can’t stand still.
‘The biggest things I’ve been pleased with the players with is the adversity they have had to face, but they have come together.
‘We have still got to show that ruthlessness in our play’.
On Josh Ruffels
‘We have not really discussed him at all. Josh is a good player but we have not really discussed him’.
On getting a left-sided player in: ‘You can never be short of left-footers. They don’t fall off trees, the difficulty is getting them in as everybody wants them’.
