    Sheff Wed 1-0 Norwich

    Radar well and truly off, as a low ball to Todd Cantwell for Norwich is flicked towards Teemu Pukki...

    ...or at least where Cantwell thought he'd be.

    All too familiar in this first half, is that.

    Jordan Rhodes tries to meet an Adam Reach cross but the ball squirts off his head and loops over.

    Wednesday continuing to create chances.

    Half-time beckoning. Daniel Farke has a look darker than the pre-match storm clouds around S6.

    Definitely not falling for Norwich today.

    Ben Gibson shrugs off a Wednesday player and rolls a pass across the edge of the box but Todd Cantwell takes a heavy touch and it's cleared.

    The Canaries come again, a dink into the box threatens to set Emi Buendia away but the experienced Keiren Westwood gathers.

    Kenny McLean goes into the book, clipping Jordan Rhodes in midfield.

    Wednesday subsequently come down the left, the ball bounces up in the box and Liam Palmer strikes it on the half volley but it goes out for a throw.

    Sorry, Liam. Had to mention it.

    Lukas Rupp tries to gee up the Norwich side after a wasted ball into the box from Dimitri Giannoulis sails behind.

    Wednesday break on a Todd Cantwell cross, and Kadeem Harris is played into the box. He stumbles before getting to his feet and wins a corner.

    It ends with a Norwich free-kick. That was a real chance. Harris was on his tod.

    C'mon Wednesday! Could this be the turn around game for Wednesday?

    Anon

    @12.38. Simple. It's because Wednesday have lost 6 in a row and Norwich have been the best team in the league since September, and have won the last 6 in a row.

    Wednesday curl it in through Barry Bannan but a series of headers eventually clear the lines for Norwich.

    The league leaders are being made to graft for anything at the moment.

    Teemu Pukki's chance the only genuine opportunity so far for the team in yellow.

    There's constant hassle and harry from Wednesday, starting with the persistence of Jordan Rhodes and Josh Windass up top, once Norwich get into the home half.

    The counter-attack has been excellent, Windass' pace takes them into the Norwich half and they win a throw.

    Kadeem Harris is clopped by Todd Cantwell, and it's a dangerous set-piece now.

    At their best, Norwich are a blur of one-touch passes and movement.

    At their worst, Norwich look disjointed and struggle to retain possession.

    It's credit to the Wednesday approach and set-up, it's largely been the latter.

    As a Norwich fan, I'd love them to be promoted but they have become the ultimate yo-yo team. They cannot possibly afford the talent needed to guarantee survival in the Premiership, indeed it's true to say that if they develop a player good enough for the top tier they can't afford to keep him. Fact of life for small clubs.

    Tom Lees has been patched up, and is stood on the side of the pitch waiting to resume.

    Wednesday got a free-kick on the back of the incident, by the way.

    First time Norwich striker Teemu Pukki has had a sight of goal, but it's a superb block by Tom Lees rushing back to deny him.

    It all came from a brilliant flick by Emi Buendia, round the corner to release the Finn, but after chopping the ball inside to leave Sam Hutchinson on his backside, Lees got back to clear.

    Lees has ended up injured following the corner, and Grant Hanley is also sore.

    Max Aarons clears the corner behind. Another set-piece beckons from Kadeem Harris.

    This time it's a short corner, but Harris is offside. Could have been much more.

    Emi Buendia has been anonymous. His one attempt to get control of the ball a moment ago saw him swarmed upon by blue and white shirts.

    Law of averages, the Norwich playmaker will get his chance. It's all Wednesday right now.

    Another move sees the ball worked through midfield to Liam Palmer on the left and his low cross is turned behind by Grant Hanley.

    Simon Hoyle: WHY is Sheff Wed taking lead against Norwich City a SHOCK! Only the pundits making Norwich city champions with 11/10 games to play. Lots of ups/downs to go!

    Norwich's frustrations evident by the sight of striker Teemu Pukki chasing back down the right to track and steal the ball from Liam Palmer.

    He's been isolated up top, but looking to get involved.

    The Canaries almost release Todd Cantwell into the box, but a sliding tackle by Tom Lees clears the lines.

    Another effort for Wednesday, this time Kadeem Harris cuts in off the right side, step-overs fooling his marker before curling a shot from the edge of the box which again Tim Krul drops down to save.

    Good battle with Grant Hanley and Jordan Rhodes in the middle of the park. Two big lads tussling.

    Ben Gibson gets across to pinch the ball off Josh Windass as he zips on the outside, concedes the throw.

    Gibson then air-swats and misses a bouncing ball on the edge of his box as Norwich try to switch the play, letting in Wednesday's Adam Reach, but the former Middlesbrough winger's shot is straight at Tim Krul.

    Norwich step up the press and force a throw, as Wednesday ponderously try to build from the back.

    Still, Darren Moore has set the home side up with a good shape, they're not being tempted on to press and leave space.

    Defensively very disciplined so far.
