MATCH REPORT | Sheffield Wednesday 2-0 Port Vale (Port Vale)

Vale finish 2022 ninth in Sky Bet League One after Michael Smith's brace condemned the Valiants to defeat in their final match of the calendar year away at ...

Unused Subs Vale caused the hosts many problems on the counterattack in the first half, and in the 42nd minute, James Wilson curled an effort just wide of the post from the edge of the area after a fast break. Wednesday thought they were about to take the lead in the 19th minute on the counterattack, however, Forrester did brilliantly well to get back and get his body in the way of a Calum Paterson effort that was goal bound.

To see it hit the back of net relieved a bit of pressure then we could kick on.” But our work with and without the ball was spot-on so it’s a big well done to all of them.” Smith added: “I thought they started the second half well. We have another clean sheet, and the whole backline takes credit for that. “It’s just a bit of kidology I think with penalties but I was delighted to see it hit the back of the net.” “But I thought there were some outstanding performances all over the pitch.

The odd sign of ring rust but that was always likely to happen after so long out. Second straight start and he was lively in the middle of the park all game. Was a spectator for large portions of the game but had to be alert, which he was, when called upon.

Darren Moore comments after Sheffield Wednesday watch Barry ... (The Star)

Sheffield Wednesday have a fresh injury concern after captain, Barry Bannan, limped off on Thursday night.

The energy, vigour and solidity that he gave us was excellent.” What I was really pleased with was the way Will Vaulks came on - special recognition to him, because he came in and it didn’t jolt us too much. We’ll assess him in the morning…

3 things we learnt about Sheffield Wednesday following their 2-0 win ... (Football League World)

Sheffield Wednesday secured their second consecutive victory with a 2-0 win over Port Vale at Hillsborough on Thursday night. The Owls were dealt a major ...

They limited a Vale side sitting ninth in the table and who have caused problems for many of the promotion contenders this season to few chances on their way to what was a relatively routine victory. While it is fair to say that the attacking struggles were present prior to that game even with the Scotsman on the pitch, the accusation was made that Moore’s side cannot cope without their talisman. This was most recently on display when he missed the home game against Oxford earlier this month, with the Owls toiling to a 0-0 draw in which they failed to create any meaningful chances.

Port Vale fans talk Sheffield Wednesday defeat, transfer window and ... (Stoke-on-Trent Live)

Port Vale are ninth in League One ahead of their New Year's Day game at Forest Green Rovers.

It was a woeful give away of the ball, then sat off and allowed them time and space to have a brew, a bit of toast and still enough time to spare to plonk the ball in the top bin. The Vale are on the up, the progress is there for all to see. On to the next one and Happy New Year to all Vale fans." Then Wilson put Harrison in and he drove wide when it was easier to score or at least make the goalie work . We should be proud that we're competing on these stages now compared to where we were a few years back and realise that we're on the road to better things. He pulled it back and, in my opinion, Harrison has to be sharper there and equalise. All in all, finishing the year in ninth is amazing, I just hope Darrell Clarke makes the right decisions come January!" I know Bannan's a good player but any player is if you give the time and space we gave him until he went off injured. "I’d like us to continue to grow and strengthen in 2023, keep building on and off the pitch. Put simply, Wednesday were the better team and we have to accept that. So, I’d like to see some fresh faces in January up front, at left centre back and in midfield." Wembley was a day I didn’t think would come for us again soon, but the club gave us a day I’ll never forget.

Sheffield Wednesday, Charlton Athletic, Bradford City all interested ... (The 72 - We Love the Football League)

Charlton Athletic, Sheffield Wednesday and Bradford City are all keeping tabs on Kingstonian FC talent Tyrese Owen, as per Football Insider.

The Addicks could use his services more in the short-term, but the current trajectory of the club isn’t looking positive. Sheffield Wednesday could be his best chance at securing Championship football in the future, although he may not feature all too often. The 23-year-old is a big player for Kingstonian, but he could leave on a free at any time, as per Football Insider, and that could result in a big fight to win his signature during the January window.

Wednesday will be looking to move into the top two with victory over the struggling U’s.

But Gregory has proven himself to still be an integral part of the team when he has featured and has also contributed with three assists.
