The countdown to the new season continues, but after an encouraging pre-season build-up, Sheffield Wednesday were brought back down to earth with a difficult afternoon against Stoke City in Austria.

This week, we look at what we can really take away from the performances, whether the results matter, and what Henrik Pedersen's comments afterwards tell us about the state of his squad.

We also dissect David Storch's open letter to supporters, discuss the club's financial framework, David Bruce joining the Board, the latest transfer rumours surrounding Nathaniel Chalobah, Tommi O'Reilly and Kane Taylor, plus Liam Palmer's appointment as club captain.

Joining us is Tom Burton (Calling Mr Meadows) to chat all things Wednesday, Owls in the Yard, shirt collecting, preserving club history and plenty more besides.

As always, expect Sheffield Wednesday news, opinion, debate, a few laughs and your comments throughout the show.
