Sheffield
Wednesday - (H) Lost 1-2 |
|
Another
rather half-baked performance in the first half, but a much better
showing in the second only spoilt by a scrappy last second Sheffield
Wednesday winner, is scant reward for a 24,000 plus record KC
attendance. This result secured the Owls a play-off berth, big
clubs like them should surely be in the Championship alongside the
Tigers next season. Click the link to read

A
jog in the sun ended with a thorough dismantling for the already

a hattrick for relegation avoiding Walsall. Shame to see a few
