Speaking to The Star on Saturday, the Owls boss made clear it was his intention to play his strongest possible team, wanting to record a win and continue the momentum three successive wins has so far delivered.
With a five-day turnaround between the final day and the first play-off semi-final leg - which will be played away - there will no doubt be the temptation to make plenty of subs in order to protect the players that could use a feet-up.
We’ve had a stab at a predicted line-up for the visit of Derby County this weekend.
1. GK - Cameron Dawson
Has produced some important saves in recent weeks and after that brief spell out of the side looks almost certain to keep his place heading into the play-offs. Photo: Steve Ellis Steve Ellis
2. RCB - Dominic Iorfa
Produced an all but faultless display at Shrewsbury, starting the move for the opener with class and laying on a show of dominant aerial class. There’s a couple ways Moore could go to shoe-horn Aden Flint back in if Derby are to be slightly more direct but we’ve gone with another start for Big Dom. Photo: Steve Ellis Steve Ellis
3. CB - Michael Ihiekwe
It’s like he’s never been away. Such a long lay-off could have seen Ihiekwe return ring-rusty but he’s been a picture of class at the back. With most of the game under his belt at Shrewsbury, he’ll be looking to get close to 90 minutes against the Rams. Photo: Steve Ellis Steve Ellis
4. LCB - Liam Palmer
Wednesday’s vice-captain is coming off a big week in which he left the end of season awards clutching all the big ones. Not left-footed but in the absence of Akin Famewo looks likely to start on the left of the back three. Dependable - will this be the back three for the duration now? Photo: Steve Ellis
