Rotherham United go second, Sheffield Wednesday hold in Accrington as Doncaster ...

Saturday’s victory in Accrington saw Wednesday end a run of five-straight draws and kept them well in touch with the play-off positions.

Wednesday took the lead against Accrington through Chey Dunkley before Theo Corbeanu and Florian Kamberi added to the tally to give the visitors a three-goal lead after 22 minutes.

Stanley got one back on 33 minutes through Lewis Mansell before Joel Mumbongo added another goal for Stanley to set up a grandstand finish - but Moore insisted he never felt like another draw was looming.

“I didn’t feel any nerves in the technical area near the end as I felt we were in control and, as long as the boys continued to do their work, they would see the game through,” said Moore.

“We wanted a blistering start and we got three goals to the good and we were ruthless. They get one back and it put the wind back in their sails but I said at half-time, they would push on and throw caution to the wind and we knew we could exploit the gaps, I thought we would score again but we didn’t take our chances.

“It’s an important week with two home games and we have got to keep building up momentum. I am pleased with our league form and our mentality.”
