What a great fixture this would have been for Boxing Day, were it not for Covid.
Wednesday would have brought lots of fans, the usual plastic Rovers fans would have turned up for their annual festive outing and a great atmosphere would undoubtedly have ensued.
Instead we will have artificial crowd noise and an empty stadium
Wednesday got their first win under Tony Pulis last Saturday and sit at the wrong end of the table. It would be worse for them had they not had their points deduction halved on appeal.
So, can we expect to give them a good trouncing and send the blighters back across the Pennines with their tails between their legs?
Well, Rovers have currently won 1 in 5 (and what a lucky win that was!) and, apparently, have only won once on Boxing Day in the last ten years, so perhaps a win isn't a foregone conclusion.
Will Bradley Dack make an appearance on the bench?
Will another youngster get a game? Dan Butterworth and Brad Lyons are both surely due some minutes soon.
Whatever the team, we desperately need the 3 points on Saturday to avoid slipping even further behind the leading pack.
Shame none of us can be there with our flasks (hip or thermos).
Weather forecast is a bit crap though, so perhaps supping ale in front of iFollow won't be too bad after all.

so much for all the in-depth research I carried out to do my Sheffield Weds, now Huddersfield, away preview.
