The game was not without cost, though, with Michael Ihiekwe limping off in the early stages of the fixture, and then his replacement, Diaby, having to come off in the second half as...
Wednesday need just a point against Sunderland this coming weekend in order to pull off what would certainly be a great escape, with Danny Röhl having come in and completely turned around the club’s fortunes in the space of a few months.

The American said, "Danny Röhl has come from Germany,...
The Owls jumped out of the relegation zone for the first time since August with the win, Josh Windass’ stunning opener cancelled out by Sammie Szmodics’ leveller before a Marvin Johnson effort and a calamity Aynsley Pears own goal earned Danny Röhl’s side a fourth away win in six Championship matches. The defeat reduced Rovers’ gap on the bottom three to three points with two matches to go. And in a defiant press engagement after the match, their manager said: “First half we were well in the...
Blackburn Rovers boss John Eustace has issued an update on a player who was injured during a recent clash with Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls gave their safety bid a huge boost recently with an away win over Blackburn Rovers, going on to add a win over West Brom. Those results mean Wednesday head into their final game of the season only needing a point to survive, while either of the two teams below them failing to win will also do the job. Blackburn are in a very similar situation, but if either...
At Middlewood Road, Röhl had revealed his starting line-up to his players. And heading into the rest of the session, the Wednesday coaching staff were met not with half a changing room jaded with rejection, but firing and full of fight. There was an intensity to things, the German boss described to The Star after a 3-1 win that lifted them out of the relegation zone for the first time in his tenure. Resisting the urge to pick out individuals for praise following the Ewood Park win, Röhl instead...

The young Owls have had an excellent season in the Professional Development League, and with two games left to play they do still have a chance of reaching the play-offs - unfortunately, however, they’re now relying on Birmingham City to drop points after a bitter defeat at Bramall Lane on Thursday night. Ryan Oné and Louie Marsh got the goals, one in each half, as Andy Holdsworth’s team were beaten 2-0 in the mini Steel City derby, and it was a win that saw them leapfrog Birmingham into top...
One football pundit has been speaking about Sheffield Wednesday and the impact of one of their key man following a huge win on Sunday. The Owls picked up a statement win over relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers, winning 3-1 at Ewood Park to climb out of the bottom three. Danny Rohl’s men now have a palpable chance of survival even if they have a lot of work still to do with two games remaining. Josh Windass kicked off the scoring in Lancashire, continuing his impact following his return from...
It was inevitable that Danny Rohl would be fielding questions about his immediate future after securing another season in the Championship for Sheffield Wednesday, against all odds. Wednesday already looked dead and buried when he came in to replace Xisco Munoz in October and even with a lift in results, it appeared on a number of occasions that the Owls had simply left themselves with too much to do and a return to League One appeared likely. However, Wednesday continued to bounce back, led by...
Wednesday need just a point on Saturday afternoon in order to confirm their second tier status for next season, a remarkable achievement for a team that endured their worst start to a season and looked to be dead and buried at one point. Röhl has come in an galvanised matters at Hillsborough, taking them up to 20th place last month as they took their destiny into their own hands with some good results both at home and away - they now head to Sunderland knowing that they could still stay up even...
The game between Hull City and Ipswich Town wasn’t one that directly affects the Owls in terms of their position in the Championship, however it was still one that Wednesdayites will have been keeping an eye on because of who they play next. Danny Röhl’s outfit picked up a huge result on Saturday afternoon as they put West Bromwich Albion to the sword with a 3-0 home victory at Hillsborough, and results elsewhere meant that they now need only a point away at Sunderland next weekend in order to...
Because there is always so much to wonder about at the football club, isn’t there? And especially now. Danny Röhl himself has described the would-be achievement of Championship survival this season as ‘a wonder’. The job is far from done and though in a position of strength, the Owls will be looking to avoid the danger of black cat bad luck before next weekend’s final day trip to Sunderland. Perhaps those straining into the unacceptably biting April afternoon were wondering how on earth they’d...
