Sheffield Wednesday chief Steve Bruce pays tribute to rival boss

"He has stabalised the club and he has got a way about him. He has done very, very well.
"They have (Bradley) Dack and (Danny) Graham but he has bought very well. It will be a tough game."
Despite Blackburn's recent slump in form, Bruce is refusing to take them lightly.

"They were going a long very nicely and all of a sudden they have had a bad month.
"They had a good result the other night. In Graham and Dack, they are a handful.
"However, we are playing well ourselves. I'm sure the crowd can play their part too so let's enjoy the occasion."
