After suffering a disappointing loss in last year's play-off final at Wembley, Sheffield Wednesday fans were hoping that their side would bounce back stronger last year.

And despite being plagued with inconsistency earlier in the year, they look set to have a second successive crack at trying to win promotion via the play-offs.

With two games to go, Sheffield Wednesday sit 4th in the Sky Bet Championship table - 5 points clear of Leeds United in 7th.

More importantly, Carlos Carvalhal will be very encouraged that his side have won five games in a row so they have momentum to take into the play-offs.

After their fate is sealed and Sheffield Wednesday know whether they will be a Premier League team or a whether they have to serve another year in the second tier, plans for the future will begin.

There are a few youngsters who are on the verge of breaking into the Sheffield Wednesday first team and here are 2 who will be pushing for regular spots next year.

Joe Wildsmith

Sheffield Wednesday have one of the best goalkeepers in the league at their disposal but Keiren Westwood will face some high profile competition from Joe Wildsmith next season.

The 21-year-old is considered to be one of the brightest young goalkeepers in the country and he will have his eyes on the starting spot, especially if Westwood decides to leave.

The former England under-20 international is good enough to step up if he gets the chance and he will want to be knocking on the door next season.

George Hirst

George Hirst is probably Sheffield Wednesday's brightest young player.

The England under-19 international offers goals and is developing into an all round striker as he continues to push for a first team spot.

Sheffield Wednesday could look to shift some strikers this summer as they have plenty on their books, which would open the door for the prolific 18-year-old.
