Sheffield Wednesday left it very, very late against Ipswich Town as they fought back to draw 2-2 at Hillsborough.
Was left trying to work on scraps for large parts of the game. Worked tirelessly, but like so many others couldn’t seem to catch much of a break. Grew into the game as it went on, and was a key part in Wednesday getting back into things. Really battled to get into the game in what looked like an unfamiliar position. Playing as a left-sided centre back once again, James was asked to fill a gap in an unfamiliar position with Mark McGuinness absent. A really tough day at the office for Iorfa…
Kayden Jackson's sixth-minute goal has given Town a 1-0 half-time lead over Sheffield Wednesday at Hillsborough.
The striker latched on to the ball and confidently slammed it into the corner of the net to Stockdale’s left, the one-time Barnsley man’s second goal of the season. The Owls were seeing most of the ball with Town not looking entirely comfortable at the back. The striker crossed through Iorfa’s legs to skipper Sam Morsy, whose shot was blocked. Another one-time Town loanee, Mark McGuinness was absent from the squad. Harness and Ladapo were on the bench. But within a minute Town were in front.
Michael Smith scored an 89th-minute equaliser as Sheffield Wednesday came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw against League One leaders Ipswich.
An object appeared to be thrown from the crowd at keeper Walton in the aftermath. The visitors extended their lead in the 71st minute when Iorfa bundled the ball into his own net while attempting to clear following a cross. Wednesday threatened to get off to a great start when, with Ipswich goalkeeper Christian Walton off his line, Barry Bannan tried a chip from around 45 yards out but the ball bounced in front of the goal and over the crossbar.
Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna says he is feeling both proud and disappointed following his side's 2-2 draw at Sheffield Wednesday.
That's going to be a massive challenge." "We knew we would have to defend. We knew we were going to have to do very well to compete. On his team staying top and unbeaten, McKenna said: "The unbeaten bit is nice because we're showing a level of resilience in general. The mentality and the physicality of the team shone at times today. He added: "We have to stay balanced. "We can't change it now. But my feeling at the time was that the striker looked ahead of the defenders and ahead of the ball." We just need to keep learning and improving." We have to learn from it and I'm sure we will, because the boys are getting better and better. Asked if, when emotions settled, he would reflect on this being a good result for his team, McKenna said: "We certainly had the intent to play for the win. "The game changed on a set play.

Sheffield Wednesday manager Darren Moore has revealed that the club are continuing to hold talks with midfielder Fisayo Dele-Bashiru about a new contract ...
As a result, it should be encouraging that the club are now working to address that, and it would be a welcome statement of intent if they were to get it done, amid those links with the Championship. I thought his role the other night was really good.” It would be a major blow for the Owls if they were to lose a player with the potential and ability of Dele-Bashiru, especially if he goes for free when his contract expires in the summer.
Sheffield Wednesday star Reece James believes Ipswich Town new boy Tyreece John-Jules is an excellent forward.
“But he is a player we have got to be aware of and try to do as well as we can against him.” “He is a player I have played with at two different clubs; he is a good player and has been here before”, James The 21-year-old forward spent the first-half of the last season at Blackpool and the second half with Sheffield Wednesday, but his spell with the Owls saw him make only one appearance as he suffered a quad injury.
Darren Moore says that Sheffield Wednesday's game against Ipswich Town was at risk of being abandoned as fans fumed over the performance of the officials.
“He did warn me and Kieran that he would take the teams off and abandon the game, which would have been an absolute catastrophe for us as a football club being the home team. We got something out of the game.” “I could feel the frustration around it today,” he told the media.

Ipswich Town drew 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday this afternoon. Andy Warren hands out his player ratings.
On for Chaplin and saw the ball in some good areas but, notably, couldn’t latch onto a Freddie Ladapo flick-on on the edge of the Wednesday box. He gave Dominic Iorfa a difficult time whenever Ipswich were able to isolate the two together, before the Ipswich attacker played a leading role in the build-up for his side’s second goal and then forced his afternoon opponent to turn into his own net. The way Ipswich played in this game, which saw them use diagonal balls to try and bring the wide players into the game, meant things were a little different for Chaplin in this one. A busy opening half for the former Leeds man, who had some moments of quick-thinking in an attacking sense and a busy time at the back as Wednesday looked to play in behind the Ipswich line. Back in the side in place of Cameron Burgess and made a telling contribution within four minutes, picking the ball up inside his own half and charging through the Wednesday midfield and defence, before being brought down as the ball broke through to Jackson to score. After a solid first half he started the second like a train, contributing superbly but he was one of a number of Ipswich players who had issues to deal with once Wednesday went up a gear in the closing stages.

It was a big loss, and we had to shuffle the pack. We checked him out, sent him for a scan – and I’m glad that we did, because I probably would have sent him back out there and it could have done far more damage.

The mentality and the physicality of the team shone at times today. The officiating we witnessed at Hillsborough today was nothing short of a disgrace- yet nothing will be done. @JoelGardiner20: There has to be an investigation or something into the standard of officiating at all levels of the football pyramid. We have to learn from it and I’m sure we will, because the boys are getting better and better.

There was late heartbreak for Ipswich Town at Hillsborough, as the Blues let a two-goal lead slip before eventually drawing 2-2 with Sheffield Wednesday.
Wednesday’s first change saw Lee Gregory brought on for Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, as the hosts went to two up top, but it was the visiting side who were next to threaten as a clever touch from John-Jules freed Jackson. They pushed and prodded at the Town defence without ever overly testing Christian Walton, before the Blues went in at half-time a goal up. The forward, playing from the left side with John-Jules through the middle, picked his spot and buried it into the back of the Wednesday net at pace. Edmundson made it, as he charged through the heart of the Wednesday midfield and defence from inside his own half, before the ball eventually landed at the feet of Jackson off a Wednesday leg. First, skipper Sam Morsy had a shot blocked inside the penalty area before, with Walton out of position, Barry Bannan landed on a Leif Davis clearance and took the opportunity to shoot from inside his own half. The former Rotherham striker appeared to be a yard offside when putting the ball in the net.
Sheffield Wednesday took an important point off in-form Ipswich Town at Hillsborough but they did not half make hard work of it.
A linesman had been the target on the first two occasions, but this was all in the Ipswich penalty area. Just three minutes after the second goal, Hillsborough had something to get behind. Ipswich added to it, or rather the Owls did it for them, Iorfa putting a Wes Burns cross into his own net. All three incidents, close together midway through the first half, drew groans from an increasingly agitated crowds. It would be the 89th minute before Michael Smith equalised. And central midfielder Dele-Bashiru is neither.
Two goals in the final 15 minutes from George Byers and Michael Smith rescued a point for Sheffield Wednesday.
An Ipswich defender heads the ball behind for a corner. He dinks a cross to the back post. Mighten goes down in the box after a challenge from Harness. No one can get on the end of it. The keeper gathered at the second attempt. I say that and then Bannan releases Palmer down the right. Jackson races on to a through ball. 11 - The Wednesday response Looked a strong penalty shout.
