Wade Elliott plotting Sheffield Wednesday's downfall amid long unbeaten runCheltenham Town boss Wade Elliott is plotting a big upset when Sheffield Wednesday come to town. The Owls are in outstanding form ahead of their Tuesday night trip to Gloucestershire. They are unbeaten in 15 league games and know that a victory against Elliott's side will send them top of League One. Four successive defeats have left the Robins hovering above the relegation zone but despite the two sides being at polar ends of the form scale, Elliott is still targeting a coupon-busting home win.
Windass also put a fierce drive just over in the first half, while Lee Gregory saw a shot come back off a post. Cheltenham threatened when Owls goalkeeper David Stockdale kept out George Lloyd's effort and Sean Long headed the rebound over. Ryan Broom also had a low shot saved, while Michael Ihiekwe cleared off the line from Liam Sercombe. Gregory had a first-time shot saved by Southwood as the hosts looked to extend their lead.
