Wednesdayites, pies and rock & roll... - Sheffield Wednesday overcome Chester in confident display
It was Barry Bannan and Josh Windass that really stood out in the first half, with the former dictating play from the centre of the park – getting forward a lot more than we’re used to of late – and Windass playing a part in a number of Wednesday chances.
The best chance, however, saw him cut onto his right after being found by Bannan, and he expertly bent it into the top corner, leaving Chester goalkeeper, Louis Gray, with absolutely no chance.

New signing, Dennis Adeniran, put in a tidy enough performance in the middle, but despite the domination, it was just 1-0 at the break.
Moore made 10 in total, with everybody except Chey Dunkley making way at the break. A couple of unnamed trialists came on, and the likes of Alex Hunt, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru and Korede Adedoyin among those that were given a chance to show what they could do.
And all three of them combined early in the second half, with Dele-Bashiru ultimately finding Adedoyin in the box… The attacker turned on a time and fired it hard and low past Louis Gray to double the Owls lead.

Hunt came closest to making it three, but his thunderbolt from outside the box crashed against the post and back out. It would’ve been some goal, but it wasn’t to be. A couple of freekicks aside, the young midfielder will have been pleased with his efforts this afternoon.
As for Moore, it was a first win of preseason, and a clean sheet to boot. So he’ll more more than happy.
