The Owls are back at Hillsborough on Tuesday night with the home clash against Blackburn.
With slim hopes of Championship survival hanging in the balance, it’s a game from which Wednesday must emerge with a positive result.
The Owls are seven points from safety with four games to play, including a trip to relegation rivals Derby on the final day.
But to keep the fight for survival going, the Owls must dig deep in these final fixtures and three points on Tuesday would prove vital at this stage.
We face a Blackburn side who are 15th in the Championship, with two wins from their last 16 outings.
Rovers won last time out in their home fixture with Derby (2-1) on Friday evening.
Our last meeting with Rovers finished 1-1 on Boxing Day as an Adam Reach long range strike put us ahead before Joe Rothwell equalised for the host 14 minutes from time.
Assistant manager Jamie Smith and first team coach Paul Williams will once again lead the team in midweek while manager Darren Moore continues to focus on his recovery from illness.
