Sheffield Wednesday play host to Barnsley this afternoon in a big South Yorkshire derby at Hillsborough.
Looks like Wednesday have switched to a back four for the final 20 minutes after those subs. The keeper gets a strong leg to it though, and it’s kept out. It’s settled in the end with a card for both. 2-0 it ends to Barnsley, who were full value for their victory. Smith tries to break, but he’s dragged back multiple times by Wolfe...

Barnsley claimed bragging rights in the South Yorkshire derby with a magnificent 2-0 victory over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.
Wednesday searched for a route back into the game and Barry Bannan’s free-kick was met by the head of Matt Smith, but Collins was equal to his effort and tipped it round the post. Two more opportunities fell our way in the opening exchanges – both to Cole. It was relentless and end-to-end, and the next chance fell to the Reds when Thomas played an inch perfect slide-rule pass through for Aitchison, whose effort was blocked by a scrambling defender.
Devante Cole and James Norwood scored the goals to win the clash between the South Yorkshire rivals.
“When I look back at the game, we weren’t good enough, but I take nothing away from Michael Duff and his team. “I thought the turning point was when we had two good chances at 1-0. “Then obviously we got a sucker punch from the set-play. “They got the goal in the first half. “The players have been working hard and we’ve said all along that it’s not going to happen overnight. In transitions, I thought we were really good.

We’re thankful for the support from the fans and glad we could put the performance in for them.” Duff said: “We were close, there were a couple of deals that fell down right at the end. We know where we are in the process. He won’t have a day off tomorrow like most of the lads. The good thing is we know what our group is until January and we have shown we can be competitive. I am delighted for everyone associated with the football club.”

He scored and could have had another one and he came on and affected the game in a positive way and that's all we can ask for. But we do believe there is a player in there." The group left over have shown they can be competitive, which is all we have said all season." We had the same with Fabio (Jalo) a few weeks ago in getting sent off and coming on and making his debut a day later. "The players are working hard. "The two centre-forwards scored goals and one came from a set-play.
