Millers Memoirs - Sheffield Wednesday (H)

I've just turned 40 and I don't think I recall ever seeing us beat the Owls at home in a league match 😱. There were a couple of meaningless friendly wins at Millmoor which felt far from meaningless at the time, and we came so close at NYS the other year but threw it away in stoppage time.
The only meaningful home win I recall was the 2-1 win at NYS in the league cup in 2013.
It was our first meeting with Wednesday at the NYS, we'd just been promoted to L1, Wednesday were a division higher. It was a sell out crowd and the atmosphere was electric and easily the best and loudest we'd experienced up to that point.
As I remember, though I'm happy to be corrected, we played exciting football, got in their faces and had a right go at them. A stark contrast to what we watch on a regular basis these days, it was Steve Evans' trademark style.
We ran out 2-1 winners thanks to goals from the classy Lee Frecklington and Ben Pringle. The latter scoring a stunner from somewhere over the river on Westgate.
I don't think Owls' manager Dave Jones lasted much longer after this humiliation for them.

Second half Jermaine Johnson came on as sub and got send off for headbutting someone, I thought after about 5 minutes but apparently it was after 20.
