THE MATCH
It’s derby day on Sunday as Wednesday face Rotherham at Hillsborough.
Danny Röhl’s first home game in the hotseat is a big one for both sides.
Wednesday have shown signs of improvement under the new manager in a short space of time and will be looking to secure a first win of the season on Sunday lunchtime.
The Millers head to Hillsborough buoyed by their first win in seven games in midweek at home to Coventry.
Goals from Lee Peltier and Ollie Rathbone earned Rotherham the three points to move up to 22nd.
