Scunnie v Owls

Match Report

Laws verdict:

"Ideally, both sides wanted three points today I think. It would have done them more good than harm and the same for us but we're one more point towards safety. Scunthorpe will maybe look at this and think 'we're maybe too many points away from safety'."

"They need to win as many games as they can. But Sheffield Wednesday is my club and I have to look after us."

"They got the goal, but we didn't buckle. We got in at half-time and regrouped and then we started to play football. We started passing and we kept them in their half."

"What de-motivated them was that we lost Beevers. He's been sensational for us and to lose him was a blow. I thought the players started to believe in themselves though. I asked them to be brave on the ball and I thought we were."

"We got belief from the goal, I could see Scunthorpe drain and I thought there was only one team that was going to win it and that might have been us."
