2 Sheffield Wednesday dilemmas facing Darren Moore ahead of Wycombe clash

Sheffield Wednesday are marching their way into the top six having seen off MK Dons and Crewe this week. 

Six points in the last week has given Darren Moore’s side slim hopes of a top two finish in Sky Bet League One although the former West Brom and Doncaster manager won’t be getting too carried away.

They still need to solidify their place in the playoff places with Wycombe and Sunderland sat just two places behind them.

With one game in hand over their rivals, a win this weekend over Wycombe could be huge in who extends their season by at least two more games.

Wednesday are the form team in the division and come up against a Wycombe side who are also third in the form table.

With it being such a big game, it will be interesting to see what Darren Moore has in mind to combat the threats of Wycombe.

Here, we take a look at two dilemmas facing Darren Moore ahead of Wycombe clash.

Stick or twist his back three?

Moore rotated his starting XI in the wins over Crewe and MK Dons, meaning there were changes in defence once again, so the question to be asked is does he rotate his side once again?

Lee Gregory and Berahino have been in exceptional form of late, while George Byers and Barry Bannan are the mainstays in midfield, so the big test will be defensively.

One area of the pitch that has perhaps been over rotated by Moore is his back three.

If Wednesday can beat their playoff rivals, it will go a long way to convincing many
