Sheffield Wednesday’s Josh Windass suggested Barnsley boss Michael Duff had written the Owls off after claiming he left their play-off semi-final early thinking the side had lost.

That came after Darren Moore’s men made Football League history by coming from 4-0 down in the first-leg of their semi-final against Peterborough to book their place against the Tykes at Wembley.

The forward seemed to think it was disrespectful from the Barnsley boss, as he stated he shouldn't be writing off a side that ‘finished ten points above you’ in the league, which Wednesday had done.

Yet, it’s fair to say the reaction to Windass wasn’t positive, with many fans feeling he should be enjoying his own success instead of taking aim at Duff...
