Sheffield Wednesday took a huge step towards securing their Championship survival at the weekend with a gutsy 3-0 win over West Bromwich Albion at Hillsborough. The Owls’ fight will go right down to the wire, but they need just one point against Sunderland to lock in their safety. Ahead of their last push, Danny Röhl was full of praise and appreciation for the fans, who have packed out the home stands throughout this season and were in full volume last time out. “They are incredible. To see our...
The Owls face Blackburn this afternoon in a huge game in the Championship relegation scrap, and Wednesday have a chance to climb out of the bottom three with a win after both Huddersfield Town and Birmingham dropped points on Saturday afternoon. Huddersfield were heavily beaten by Swansea City in a 4-0 defeat, while Rotherham United held the Blues to a 0-0 draw that opened things up for Danny Röhl’s side when they visit Ewood Park. Bielik, who worked with Rovers manager, John Eustace, during...
Huddersfield Town boss Andre Breitenreiter is calling for individuals within his squad step up and take on leadership responsibility over the final two Championship weekends. Huddersfield currently find themselves in the relegation zone, three points behind Sheffield Wednesday, who are 21st at present and setting the survival pace. As such, this weekend's home fixture against Birmingham City, who are 22nd in the table, promises to be make or break when it comes to their hopes of avoiding the...
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 -...
Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett has been speaking ahead of a game that will have a huge impact on Sheffield Wednesday’s season. Birmingham are preparing to face relegation rivals Huddersfield Town away from home this weekend, with the two sides separated by just two points. A Birmingham win could relegate Huddersfield if Wednesday pick up just one point this weekend, while if Wednesday win and Birmingham lose, the Blues will no longer be able to catch the Owls. It’s a pivotal fixture in the...
Sheffield Wednesday secured themselves a big boost in their bid to land Championship safety over the weekend, beating relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers 3-1 away from home to jump above the bottom three with just two games remaining. The Owls are now one point above the bottom three heading into their final two games, but they still have plenty of work still to do. As many as five teams could still end up in the two relegation spots, with those on 50 points or more now likely safe. Blackburn are...
Sheffield Wednesday’s bid to remain in the Championship looks set to go right down to the wire but Danny Rohl’s side have put fate in their own hands. Sunday’s brilliant 3-1 win at Blackburn Rovers pulled the Owls out of the relegation zone, with Birmingham City replacing them after only managing a 0-0 draw at Rotherham. There are now just two games remaining and everything still to play for, with seven teams still able to join Rotherham in the bottom three. Wednesday host West Brom before a...
Sheffield Wednesday have given themselves a chance of survival as they head into their last two games. The Owls pulled off a huge away win over relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers to climb out of the bottom three, but they face a task to remain there, given the fixtures they have remaining. Still, Danny Rohl’s men have more than a fair chance of beating the drop, and few fans expected to be in this position based on the start to the season their side put together. Wednesday were once marooned at...
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...
The Owls rose out of the bottom three for the first time since August with Sunday’s 3-1 win at Blackburn Rovers and head into the final two matches of the season with their fate in their own hands.

News broke in the Midlands media that Blues captain Dion Sanderson has been charged with drink-driving and will...

Sheffield Wednesday’s rivals have been dug out by their own manager ahead of this weekend’s defining final weekend. Wednesday gave themselves a big shot at survival with a huge win over West Brom last time out, moving three points clear of the drop zoine but with a much inferior goal difference. The Owls can guarantee safety with a point against Sunderland this weekend, while either of Birmingham City or Plymouth Argyle failing to win will also do the trick. Birmingham face playoff hopefuls...
