🔵⚪️ Michael Duff has spoken about how his time ended at #htafc:

🗣️ “As a staff, we felt we were doing a good job, but thought we were harshly done by, as we had gone four months unbeaten with a really tired squad.

"But football is football and people make decisions."

🔵⚪️ Lee Grant has come in for plenty of criticism in recent weeks. Was well backed in the summer and some of his in-game decision-making has left a lot to be desired.

But it’s high time the senior players in the team eg Ledson, Wiles and Harness, step up and perform. #htafc

🗣️ Henrik Pedersen on the fans' boycott last night: "We have all tried to play here when it's a full house and it's fantastic.

"I understand all the fans and also the fans who sit at home. I respect everyone, I'm just looking forward to when we can be together again." #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Wednesday’s players are clapped off by the fans still inside of Hillsborough. They put a lot into that and you have to wonder how much they will have left in the tank for Saturday. Pedersen doesn’t have many options at his disposal to freshen things up. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

FT: #SWFC 0 Middlesbrough 1. Plucky Wednesday fall to a third successive Championship defeat. It's now five matches without a win.

Controlled the second half for long periods. It's crystal clear this team are giving absolutely everything they've got for Henrik Pedersen. 🦉⚽️

Wednesday have given a really good account of themselves. Pushed second-placed Boro so hard and are making them earn the three points. 87 minutes gone at Hillsborough. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

This depleted #SWFC have showed bags of grit and character tonight. Kept plugging away and are still in this. Can they make Boro pay for their poor finishing? Just need to show a little more composure and quality in the final third. 🦉⚽️

A stunning save from Lumley to tip over Fry's shot at the back post. It really has been an eventful debut for the Bristol Cit loanee.

It remains 1-0 Boro. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Lumley has improved after a shaky start. Pulled off two more decent stops in quick succession to keep Boro at bay.

An hour gone. #SWFC trail 1-0. 🦉⚽️

Have Boro got a bit complacent? They should have been out of sight by now. Wasted so many good opportunities in the first half.

Ctedit #SWFC for hanging on in there. They are starting to cause the visitors a few problems. 🦉⚽️

Wednesday go close again as Inglesson sees his fierce drive pushed away by Brynn. The hosts are on top and need to make this pressure count. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Bright start from #SWFC after the break as Iorfa sees his header turned away by Brynn. 🦉⚽️

Lumley to the rescue again, this time keeping out Burgzorg's effort from close range. Burgzorg should have buried that. #SWFC need half-time to regroup. 🦉⚽️

Dom Howson @domhowson.bsky.social · 1d

Lumley came off his line well there to spread himself and block Conway's shot after the Boro forward beat the offside trap.

Four minutes until half-time. Has been a spirited #SWFC response to falling behind so early in the contest. 🦉⚽️

Bannan lifts a shot over the top after a neat pull back from Amass.

Ingelsson has put himself about in midfield and is trying to make things happen.

The visitors lead 1-0 after half an hour. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

On the small turn-out at Hillsborough, ex- #SWFC winger Ross Wallace told BBC Radio Sheffield: "This is a massive football club. When this stadium is full it is an unbelievable place to play.

"It has been disgusting the way in which this club has been treated, it is not right!" 🦉⚽️

GOAL. Boro take the lead at Hillsborough. Whittaker shot was too hot to handle for Lumley following good work from Targett and Burgzorg down the left flank. The visitors first meaningful attack. All too easy to open #SWFC up there. 🦉⚽️

2/2 Lumley joined Bristol City in the summer on a free transfer. His previous clubs include Southampton, Reading and Middlesbrough, who #SWFC host on Wednesday. The 30-year-old made two starts this season, featuring in City's Carabao Cup ties vs MK Dons and Fulham. 🦉⚽️

1/2 🚨 Understand #SWFC are in talks with Bristol City over a deal to sign goalkeeper Joe Lumley on an emergency loan. The EFL are set to approve the transfer following Evan Horvath's red card at the weekend. Hearing Horvath could be suspended for two matches. 🦉⚽️

A diabolical ending following another dismal performance.

The pressure is mounting on Lee Grant. Should be getting a heck of a lot more out of this group than he has so far. One win from the last seven matches. Nowhere near good enough. #htafc

Magnificent header from Josh Feeney to stop Burstow getting on the end of a dangerous cross. He has very been good tonight. One of the best pieces of business of Town's summer recruitment.

88 minutes on the clock and Town lead 1-0. #htafc

Bolton have got #htafc on the back foot here. Moments ago, Low cleared McAtee's shot away from near the goal line. The visitors have certainly shaded things in this half.

Dom Howson @domhowson.bsky.social · 7d

Not a lot has come off for Joe Taylor tonight, has it? Think I'd be tempted to chuck on Harness or Charles at this point.

Bolton fans are desperately trying to get their team going. Making a right racket. The visitors still trail 1-0 after 55 minutes. #htafc
