Sheffield Wednesday boss Paul Sturrock said he was proud of his side after they beat Brentford to make the League One play-off final.
"I'm very pleased and proud of everybody at the football club," he said after their 3-1 aggregate win.

"It's been hard being in the doldrums for 10 years.

"This gives the fans something to enjoy and obviously gives us an opportunity to jump a league and start to get us back to where they should be."

He added: "The players were fantastic. It's a very difficult place to come.

"Brentford got balls into the box early and that meant we had to defend our box.

"The thing we've done in the past on our travels is defended our box too deep. But apart from the last 20 minutes when we were holding on - we got ourselves up the pitch and defended much higher.

"That was the key to winning the game."

Wednesday now have an 11-day break before the play-off final against the winners of the Tranmere-Hartlepool tie.

Sturrock added: "We've planned outings to makes sure we take our mind off it. We'll have seven training days and the rest will be fun days.

"The essence of it now is that it's a cup final. There's no favourites or underdogs, it's a one-off game - if you¿re the best team on the day you'll win the game."
