‘I needed this’ – Sheffield Wednesday hero Lee Gregory explains Darren Moore’s ‘choice words’ UK News

The Owls trailed 2-1 at the break despite taking an early lead at Fleetwood, but two second-half goals from Gregory secured an impressive turnaround and meant they would finish the night in fourth place.

Things didn’t look like they were going to Highbury on Wednesday but the striker’s goals got the job done in difficult circumstances.

Darren Moore said in his post-game interview there were ‘choice words’ spoken in the locker room at halftime, and the Owls hattrick hero says he felt it was something thing that was needed.

Speaking to The Star after the game, Gregory explained: “The gaffer gave us a bit of ab ****** at half time. And we needed that boost – because we knew that with the players we have we can beat any team. So we just needed that boost and the gaffer gave it to us.

“I think we came out in the second half, and you could see we dominated it all over the pitch. We knew if we got a second, we would get a third.

Wednesday’s victory saw them climb to fourth in the League 1 table and set foot in the Play-Offs, they will now turn their attention to Portsmouth on Saturday – where they must secure all three points to secure their place in the first six.
