Sheffield Wednesday’s manager is making no bones about it – the side he selects for Tuesday’s fourth-round replay at Coventry City will be picked with Friday’s Championship visit of Birmingham City very much in mind.

Bar resting Josh Windass, whose muscle problems continue to be a concern, Rohl named a strong team for January’s 1-1 draw but it seems unlikely one of only two Yorkshire sides in the competition – Leeds also face a replay on Tuesday, at Plymouth Argyle – will be going all out to secure a fifth-round home game against the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, Conference South Maidstone United.

 

Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at 21st-placed Huddersfield Town widened the gap to safety to eight points, and was compounded by a Queens Park Rangers win at Blackburn Rovers.
