Second-half strikes from Jermaine Johnson and Reda Johnson sent Yeovil Town away from Hillsborough empty-handed this afternoon.

The Glovers led Sheffield Wednesday 1-0 at the break thanks to Jon Obika's 40th minute opener, but the hosts hit back to boost their League One promotion push with a 2-1 win.

Jermaine Johnson netted the equaliser from 20 yards in the 57th minute, before big centre-half Reda Johnson came forward to score Wednesday's winner with ten minutes to go.

Sheffield Wednesday go up to second in the table, while Yeovil stay 18th. A crowd of 17,213 watched it.

PRE-MATCH TEAM NEWS

Defender Richard Hinds makes his Yeovil Town debut today against the club he left last summer.

The centre half replaces captain Paul Huntington at Sheffield Wednesday in npower League One as he serves the first of a three-match ban.

Luke Ayling takes the armband from the start at the same ground he was sent off at during a 2-2 draw a year ago.

On Hinds' inclusion, manager Gary Johnson said: "The debut comes in because we expected Paul Huntington's red card to be rescinded.

"You know how angry I am with that. It is not the Paul Huntington situation, but the whole situation with how football is going.

"We have brought in someone who is out of contract because we cannot have another loan as we have got five already. So for Richard Hinds it was his lucky day and we hope that it is our luck day as well.

"This is perfect for him, it is his old club and he is obviously liked here because everybody said hello to him on his way in. He has come back to somewhere where they thought he did well."

Johnson was also unconcerned with increasingly heavy snowfall at Hilsborough, preferring to focus on his team's approach.

"If it (snow) is a problem for us it will be a problem for them as well, although they do play a game that is more in the air than on the ground, to be fair," he said.

"We have got to try and get on the ball, get possession and be dangerous ourselves. We cannot be afraid of the game because two of the last three games I have seen we have done alright.

"We have got some good footballers and we will see where they are with that mental toughness."
