Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore believes Bolton and MK Dons will present different challenge

Sheffield Wednesday boss Darren Moore has explained how forthcoming away trips to Bolton Wanderers and Milton Keynes Dons will present the Owls with a different type of challenge. Four of their last five games have been played at Hillsborough and the one away fixture came against lowly Gillingham.

However, Moore's men will be taking to the road to face two top-half sides over the next 10 days and is not anticipating a low block being deployed by either side. He said: "They will be different games.

"We have faced games at home where we have come up against a rearguard that has sat deep and put men behind the ball. I believe we have got two games coming up now where you won't see that. They are two teams that will come at us from the start and get after us from the start. It will be totally different from what we have experienced at home. Bolton and MK Dons will have their own purposes in the games. I don't envisage them being games where they will sit behind the ball. I think they will come at us and get after us more."

The Owls have been impressive in front of the Hillsborough faithful in recent weeks but their away form in 2022 is not quite as commendable. They have won just twice on the road during this calendar year and just six all season. MK Dons are flying high in second and will represent a stern test, whilst Bolton occupy 11th place but dominated possession in their first encounter with Wednesday this season.

Moore said: "They are two exceptional teams. They are at home and the impetus will be on them to come at us. They will have their own game plan. Before we move on to the MK Dons game, we will focus on Bolton. They are a good team and Ian [Evatt] has got them playing wonderful football and we look forward to
