Weaver Wants To Win

Sheff Weds keeper Nicky Weaver wants to progress in the FA Cup and draw one of the big clubs.

The club Captain told the club's official site: "We are in the fourth round now and for us to get into the hat for round five would be massive. It's been quite a while since Sheffield Wednesday made the fifth round of the FA Cup so it would be nice to be part of the team that did so. When you get to the last 32, the chances are obviously increased of getting a glamour tie and the revenue that comes with it.

"Hereford are a good side - you only have to look at their recent form. We played a League 2 side in Northampton at Hillsborough in the second round and they showed there are some good players in that division."

Manager Alan Irvine was the target of calls for his dismissal during Tuesday's draw with Yeovil, but he told the Sheffield Star: “We will keep working hard and hopefully things will turn. It is up to us to make sure that the mood of the supporters is right.”

The Owls will be without midfielder Tommy Miller for Saturday's game after scans showed muscle damage in a hamstring injury picked up during last weekend's loss to Leyton Orient. Striker Gary Madine will also miss the game as he is cup-tied after playing for former club Carlisle earlier in the competition.
