Speaking as part of his pre-match media obligation, Schumacher was hugely complimentary of Wednesday’s work this season and of an unbeaten run that has stretched from the last time the two sides met way back in October.
But one line did catch the ear when discussing how he would approach the game tactically after a fascinating battle between the two sides at Home Park.

“We’ve had plenty of time to watch and analyse Sheffield Wednesday,” said Schumacher.
“We know what Sheffield Wednesday are about. We played them enough last season and we've already played them this year.”
Such confidence in his analysis of the Owls is impressive. Wednesday have switched up their style of play on occasion this season and are a different side entirely from the one that played the Pilgrims four times last season.
“What I would say is that we’re different from last year, that I can definitely say,” a relaxed Moore told The Star.

“I can understand from last year when we played them, we did it more than a couple of times. But this year there are so many things I see different this year from last. Completely different.
“He’s a professional, he has to do his job and I’m sure he has done his job and in terms of identifying any traits I am sure he’ll have done it because we’ve done the same with him.”
Wednesday can go top of the League One table for the first time since September 2021 with a win, leapfrogging Plymouth in the process.
Moore has called on Wednesdayites to do all they can to make a sell-out Hillsborough a fortress.
