Darren Moore on whether the partnership of Josh Windass, George Byers and Barry Bannan in Sheffield Wednesday's midfield is a sign of things to come

The Owls got back to winning ways thanks to headed goals from Windss and Byers folllowing Bannan corners and a third goal was added by Michael Smith, who netted his first league strike for Wednesday.

On the tactical set-up of his side and the non-inclusion of Tyreeq Bakinson, not involved on the night, Moore said: "When a team is defending a low block like that and it is a small pitch, I felt we needed our technical players on the pitch. I picked George, Baz and Josh in the middle.

"We looked at the pitch and the dynamics of the team and I felt we needed some real sharp, technical players on the pitch that were going to manage the ball and it turned out to be that way.

"When you got the creative players on the pitch, you have to create the chances and I thought all three of them did. The front two did well so we could play into their feet. They were a wonderful link and it was great to see them play together.

"George is quite strong in the air. He has got the calmness and direction on it. It was a great goal.

"Josh took his well too. They were two identical goals scored by two different players. They were well executed.

"As I said to them, you win a game in general play but you can also win a game by set plays. Two goals tonight came from set playsOn the decision not to involve Bakinson, Moore continued: “He’s absolutely fine. The only reason Tyreeq wasn’t involved was that he's come in, he’s played a lot of football and all the decision was that he looked just a little bit jaded in training, so we whipped him out of the team.”

Wednesday return to action on Saturday afternoon when they welcome Ipswich Town at Hillsborough.
