• A Sheffield Wednesday recap after Ipswich Town defeat

    Braces from Omari Hutchinson and Ali Al-Hamadi, as well as a goal apiece from Cameron Burgess and Nathan Broadhead, handed the Owls one of their worst ever defeats as they were downed in Suffolk, however results elsewhere meant that they thankfully didn’t lose much ground on those around them. A change of formation sparked conversation amongst Wednesdayites after Danny Röhl opted for a back four rather than a back five, and you can check out his explanation for the decision at the top of the...

  • Sheffield Wednesday boss honest in Ipswich Town observation

    Wednesday were put to the sword on Saturday afternoon in a 6-0 defeat at the hands of the Tractor Boys, with three goals in each half handing the club one of their biggest ever defeats as they missed out on the chance to climb up the Championship table. The two clubs were promoted out of League One together last season, but what has happened since couldn’t be more different – Röhl admitted afterwards that there are things that his club can learn from their title-chasing opponents at Portman...

  • Other results provide solace for Sheffield Wednesday after Ipswich Town hammering

    Wednesday and Ipswich have had vastly differing paths since they both won promotion from League One last season. The Tractor Boys chose continuity and momentum, Wednesday took a less favourable route – one of chaos and change. On Saturday they looked lightyears apart. Heading into the business end of the season they are fighting at opposite ends of the table, the hosts hoping for automatic promotion and the Owls just looking to stay in the Championship. It was always going to be a tough ask for...

  • Sheffield Wednesday take Watford striker on trial and forward starts in U21s fixture

    Collins, 19, is still on the books at the Hornets and made it onto their bench for the game against Stoke City earlier in the season, however it would appear that he's considering his options as he nears the end of his contract. The teenager was handed a starting berth for Wednesday at Middlewood Road on Friday as they took on Queens Park Rangers, and played his part in a 3-1 victory that took them up to second in the Professional Development League table - and would have got himself on the...

  • 14 pictures of Sheffield Wednesday fans who braved Ipswich Town horror show

    It's a long trip over to Suffolk from South Yorkshire, and there was certainly no reward at the end of it for Wednesdayites who took the trip to Portman Road, ultimately watching their side concede six goals in a heavy defeat at the hands of the Tractor Boys. The result did their survival hopes no favours, but thankfully results elsewhere meant that the damage to their bid to stay in the Championship wasn't done too much harm. Can you spot yourself in these images from before the game? Before...

  • Ipswich Town boss reveals reaction to 'aggressive' Sheffield Wednesday team sheet

    The hammering sent the Tractor Boys into second place in the Championship table with Leeds United scheduled to welcome Millwall on Sunday. Wednesday's second defeat on the spin - both to title challengers - did not extend a one-point deficit on the safety spots. Owls boss Danny Röhl named a front-foot starting line-up for the clash, with four forwards named ahead of a midfield two and a back four. Ipswich took the lead in the 15th minute and plundered five further goals on a chastening afternoon...

  • "My responsibility" Danny Röhl explains tactics in Sheffield Wednesday's Ipswich Town thrashing

    Though fluid as ever in and out of possession, the Owls switched to a back four system from the back five utilised in recent weeks and though they had moments of promise on the break in the first half hour, the scoreline told the tale of a match that left them red-faced leaving Suffolk. The Blues landed 10 shots on target to Wednesday's one on an afternoon that saw key men Barry Bannan and Ian Poveda leave the field injured. "It's a big defeat and a big disappointment," Röhl said. "When I come...

  • Threes and misery in Sheffield Wednesday player ratings from humiliating Ipswich Town defeat

    We won't list the goalscorers for risk of running out of space. Save for some bright breaks in the first half hour, Wednesday didn't have a footing in the game, their midfield swamped, their defence out-manoeuvred and their attack blunted at Portman Road. It was a day all involved will want to forget very quickly indeed. A two-week international break will deliver time to lick wounds. They'll go again. They'll have to, won't they? Here are our player ratings from Ipswich as Sheffield Wednesday...

  • The experienced Premier League defender giving Sheffield United's Will Osula a helping hand

    Sheffield United striker Will Osula has revealed a friendship with a Premier League defender is helping him to cope with life in the top flight in the early stages of his career. The 20-year-old has been a regular in the Blades squad this season, with injuries at times making him a key player up front for the United in their struggle at the bottom of the table. With 21 appearances in all competitions and three goals - all in the FA Cup - Osula is building experience and could be a huge asset for...

  • Four Sheffield Wednesday changes as key men return for Owls v Ipswich Town

    Danny Röhl has made four changes to the side that were beaten 2-0 by Leeds United last week, opting to bring a host of key players back into the fold after they missed out at Hillsborough for various reasons. Dominic Iorfa, Michael Ihiekwe, Will Vaulks and Ian Poveda all return as the Owls look to pick up what would be a surprise result at Portman Road given the host side's impressive season so far, and Röhl will be eager for them to get off to a good start. Here's how the two teams line up:...

  • Wes Burns fires warning to Sheffield Wednesday as Ipswich Town look to continue trait

    The Tractor Boys were on the wrong side of late drama last weekend, losing late on at Cardiff City, but have made a habit of substitutes scoring in recent weeks, with important late goals also providing a source of points. Young winger Omari Hutchinson beat Ike Ugbo to last month's player of the season gong thanks almost entirely to match-turning performances from the bench. Speaking pre-match, Owls defender Dominic Iorfa highlighted the need for Wednesday to stay switched throughout the game...

  • Ipswich Town boss makes claim on Sheffield Wednesday transfer business and Danny Röhl

    That's according to Tractor Boys boss Kieran McKenna, who is preparing his side for a battle against familiar foes after the two clubs tussled in the League One promotion race last season and played out two tightly-contested 2-2 draws. A season on and the pair are operating at different ends of the table, Ipswich just three points off top spot and Wednesday a point off the safety places. Ipswich not having lost at home since August - though Wednesday boss Danny Röhl has given every indication...
