And they’ll likely have talismanic midfielder Barry Bannan involved despite a substitution late on in a win over West Bromwich Albion that sparked fan fears of a possible injury. The Owls skipper left the field in the 77th minute of the Baggies win - he was replaced by Momo Diaby - in what was his 44th appearance of the campaign. Bannan produced a leader’s performance on the day, contributing in both directions as Wednesday took a giant leap towards safety. A point at Sunderland next weekend...
Windass scored the match-sealing third goal in a Baggies rout that put the Owls to within one point of safety heading into the final clash of the campaign this weekend at Sunderland. In the moments afterwards he lifted his shirt high above his head and appeared to kiss the Wednesday badge, before taking his time applauding supporters post-match in what could stand to serve as his final home appearance as an Owls player. The former Rangers attacker has been with Wednesday for four-and-a-half...
Sheffield Wednesday have just one game remaining in their season and their fate is not yet decided. The Owls are on the brink of Championship survival after a huge win over West Brom last weekend, but their goal difference means they are still vulnerable to a League One return. Danny Rohl has made a huge impact since taking over in October, rescuing the Owls after a disastrous start to the season, but there is still work to do, with Birmingham City - who currently occupy the final drop spot -...
Wednesday went into the last home game of the season with their fate in their own hands after a huge win over Blackburn Rovers the following week got them out of the bottom three, and they were looking to take another step towards safety at S6 against a Baggies side gunning for the play-offs. The talk in the week was about how important the crowd could be in helping them get the job done, and the fans certainly took it to heart as they roared the team on to a fantastic 3-0 win that put them in...

Barry Bannan has admitted he would like to see Ipswich Town join Leicester City in the automatic promotion places with Yorkshire rivals Leeds United missing out. Sheffield Wednesday remain fully focused on the lower end of the Championship table with the relegation battle intensifying week on week. The Owls are currently one point and one place above the drop zone with just two games remaining to secure their fate. But the incredible battle at the top cannot be ignored with Leeds, Ipswich and...
Wednesday picked up a 3-1 victory that saw them leapfrog both Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City in the Championship table, getting them out of the bottom three for the first time in many months.

Photographer, Steve Ellis, was on hand to capture some brilliant...

The Owls were backed by a stunning away following with over 7,300 supporters roaring on Danny Rohl’s men as they boosted their chances of extending their stay in the Championship beyond a solitary season. Goals from Josh Windass and Marvin Johnson coupled with a catastrophic own goal from hosts keeper Aynsley Pears helped Wednesday move out of the relegation zone...
Both Sheffield sides have had a strong campaign in 2023/24, and they headed into the clash at Bramall Lane occupying the two spaces behind leaders, Birmingham City, but with games in hand. Wednesday had one, United three, and a win for either side would see them rise to first place. For years the Blades have been the top dogs on the youth scene in the steel city, so they went into this home game as favourites despite the fact the two teams drew 2-2 at Hillsborough back in October in a game that...
Sheffield city centre is undergoing a major transformation, with a new hotel, a huge food hall and a clutch of exciting independent shops opening soon. Fargate is undergoing a major overhaul too, while the old Cole Brothers department store and the former Kingdom nightclub are both set for a new lease of life. These pictures show how much Sheffield city centre has changed since the 1980s and 90s, with some areas barely recognisable. Lost pubs, old cinemas and much-missed shops all feature in...

Wednesday climbed out of the bottom three for the first time since Röhl’s arrival over the weekend, beating Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at Ewood Park to give themselves a real shot of staving off the drop and another season in League One. The German has overseen a remarkable turnaround after the Owls’ worst ever start to a season, and McCoist believes that he’s ‘transformed’ the team during his spell in charge. "What a story that is at Sheffield Wednesday!" McCoist said, as quoted by Football League...
