Match Preview

Megson mulls over O'Brien selection Sheffield Wednesday manager Gary Megson must decide whether new signing Joey O'Brien is up to two games in four days following his arrival from Bolton. Megson, whose side are only four points above the relegation zone after Saturday's 1-1 draw at Dagenham, has no new injury or suspension problems for the visit of Brentford. The Owls boss could be tempted to make one or two changes as they chase their first win in five games. O'Brien has not appeared for Bolton this season, but played the full 90 minutes on his debut at the weekend and could be handed another start. Fellow new loan signing, Wigan goalkeeper Lee Nicholls, was an unused substitute and looks set to be named on the bench again. Megson deployed a 4-5-1 formation at Dagenham - Gary Madine operated as a lone striker - and could revert to a 4-4-2, with Clinton Morrison, Neil Mellor, Paul Heffernan and Jermaine Johnson all pushing for a return to the starting line-up. Robbie Neilson is a major doubt the the Bees. The on-loan Leicester full-back was stretchered out of Friday night's 2-1 win over Carlisle and although his ankle injury is not as serious as first feared, he is unlikely to travel north. Club captain Kevin O'Connor came on for Neilson at right-back and could now be in line to make his 400th start for the Bees. Centre-half Karleigh Osbourne missed out on Friday through illness and should be available while winger Sam Saunders and striker Robbie Simpson (both ankle) are also close to returning, although they could be saved for Sunday's Johnstone's Paint Trophy final against Carlisle. Goalkeeper Richard Lee (shoulder) and forward Charlie MacDonald (ankle) are still missing.

Match Report

Wednesday woe continues Goals from Michael Spillane, Jeffrey Schlupp and Sammy Saunders gave Brentford a 3-1 victory over a Sheffield Wednesday side left hovering just above the relegation zone. Spillane gave the visitors a third minute lead, planting a firm header past Richard O'Donnell from Nathan Byrne's corner. Wednesday's Gary Madine headed over before Rob Jones equalised with a near-post header after meeting a Gary Teale corner. Brentford regained the lead six minutes later when Lewis Grabban nipped in ahead of Jones and crossed to Schlupp who headed in from close-range. Darren Potter put a free-kick just over as Wednesday tried to force an equaliser before the break. Teale then saw his overhead kick cleared off the line and Madine put a low shot wide. Wednesday substitute Jermaine Johnson threatened with a strong run into the area before trying an angled shot which went beyond the far post. Brentford substitute Saunders completed the scoring in the 82nd minute, beating O'Donnell with a superb 25-yard free-kick which left the keeper rooted to the spot.
