‘One of the best’: Sheffield Wednesday star out to haunt former club after double salvo
and live on Freeview channel 276
The 28-year-old has got two goals in his last two games after playing his part in the Owls’ win over Morecambe and then 1-1 draw with Southampton that they lost 6-5 on penalties.
It’s a welcome return to the goals after a bit of a dry spell for the attacker, and he’ll be out to haunt his former club and make it goals in three consecutive games when Wednesday travel to Lancashire this weekend.

Hide Ad‘Accy’ are just above the relegation zone in the third tier at this point in time, and while Wednesday are certainly the favourites, Windass expects his old club to give them a tough time at the Wham Stadium.
“Speaking after the Southampton game, he told the media, “It’s survival of the fittest, I think. League One is Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday, Tuesday - sometimes the games are harder in League One than playing against ‘better’ opposition because it’s full-throttle and in your face. We’re going to have a difficult game at Accrington.
“I know the manager really well, and it’s going to be really difficult because of their style of play.
“We’ll go there will full confidence though. We’re one of the best teams in League One, so we’re going to go there and show that. It’s not arrogance, but we want to assert our confidence on the game and put a good shift in for three points.”
Wednesday take on Stanley at 3pm on Saturday afternoon.
