It\u2019s a quick turn around and we will just be focusing on Tuesday.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Hillsborough side sit one place below a play-off qualification position with just seven weeks of competition left as they bid for promotion to the Championship after being relegated last year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Moore said of his side\u2019s play-off hopes: \u201cFirst and foremost, physically and mentally we are in good form. But it is the old clich\u00e9, one game at a time in terms of how we are approaching it. We can\u2019t look too far ahead, there is a lot of football to be played.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wednesday will look to build on their scintillating performance at Hillsborough on Saturday where they scored four goals in the first half and ultimately beat 15th placed Cambridge United 6-0 courtesy of a hat-trick from Saido Berahino.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4dbRDULzjOw\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On the performance Moore said: \u201cIt was a perfect day for Sheffield Wednesday. The fans have witnessed a team today that is clearly in the ascendancy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI\u2019m really pleased, it was an emphatic win for us this afternoon. It was a game that we controlled from start to finish, we came out of the blocks really quick and managed and controlled the game from there. A worthy three points.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It was former Premier League striker Berahino\u2019s first hat-trick for the Owls, and he received a standing ovation from the delighted home fans.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">On Berahino\u2019s performance, Moore said: \u201cI\u2019m pleased for him because of the work he has done behind the scenes on his physicality, he\u2019s been excellent really and what you saw today was him being in total control of the ball. Credit to him for the work that he\u2019s done which has been unseen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lee Gregory made his first start for the Owls since injuring his foot in January and managed 58 minutes of play. He has scored eight league goals for the team this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There were also positive signs on Saturday for defender Dominic Iorfa, who came on in the 58th minute for Sam Hutchinson in his bid to return to full fitness after injuring his hip in December.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sheffield Wednesday vs Accrington Stanley will kick-off at 7:45pm at Hillsborough on Tuesday evening.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After their dominant display against Cambridge United on Saturday, Sheffield Wednesday will face Accrington Stanley at Hillsborough on Tuesday evening as they begin their final push to reach the play-offs.
