Wednesday’s supporters may get a little bit edgy.

“A lot depends on how the game goes,” said David Wagner. “I think the supporters will not be happy if we dominate.

“If that is the case then maybe there will be a negative influence on the side.

“Everything depends on how the game is unfolding, you may have an idea ahead of it but then it could be over after 10 or 20 minutes.

“What you have in your head as a theory, may not work on the pitch and in the practice.”

Although a negative approach, Sheffield Wednesday executed their gameplan of stifling Huddersfie­ld Town on their own turf and play for a draw to perfection on Sunday afternoon.

It was frustratin­g for many in the stands to witness but something Wagner was fully prepared for ahead of kick-off.

“I didn’t expect a lot of clear cut chances (on Sunday) and I don’t expect many more at Hillsborou­gh,” Town’s boss said.

“It will be great if we are able to use one of our rare opportunit­ies and go in front.

“This is our target and if we can do that then there will be a big problem for Sheffield Wednesday.

“We have seen similar situations on ocassions at Newcastle United and Leeds United away, we silenced the crowd and they turned.”

When asked whether Huddersfie­ld Town may try to adopt a similar gameplan as the one Carlos Carvalhal adopted before grabbing a goal on the counteratt­ack, Wagner neither ruled it in or out.

“We are not able to influence what Carlos and Sheffield Wednesday will do - we can only focus on ourselves,” Wagner added.

“We have to bring our own gameplan onto the grass and this is something we will decide but whatever it is we will be prepared.”
