Sheffield Wednesday skipper Barry Bannan has made no secret of his continued love for Aston Villa, despite leaving the club more than a decade ago, so there was double cause for celebration for the Scot on Saturday. Wednesday’s 2-0 win over Sunderland at the Stadium of Light secured the Owls’ Championship status, against the odds, with Danny Rohl’s side only breaking out of the bottom three last week for the first time since August. Wins for Blackburn and Plymouth meant that the occupiers of...
Sheffield Wednesday are approaching their biggest and final game of the season, taking on Sunderland away from home on Saturday. The Owls know a point will secure their Championship safety for another season, while results going their way elsewhere could mean they are safe even if they lose. Danny Rohl’s men have been on fire of late, producing big result after big result in their survival bid, but how do they compare to the dirtiest teams in the Championship? Here we have put together a...
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...
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 -...
Sheffield Wednesday confirmed their place in next season’s Championship after producing another brilliant performance to win 2-0 at Sunderland on Saturday. Two goals in nine first-half minutes from Liam Palmer and Josh Windass secured all three points to cap off an excellent campaign for Danny Rohl’s men. Wednesday looked doomed for the drop when Rohl took over in October but 16 wins in 38 games saw them finish two places and three points above the bottom three. The Championship’s final day...
Just one more big performance is needed from Sheffield Wednesday to secure their place in the Championship next season. Danny Rohl’s side know a point against Sunderland on Saturday at the Stadium of Light will be enough to finish outside the bottom three - regardless of what happens elsewhere. After a rotten start to the campaign that saw Xisco Munoz sacked with just two points in 10 games, Wednesday have spent most of the season in the bottom three. Under Rohl, who was appointed in...

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...
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. Harkes, who spoke of a desire to work at Wednesday at some point in his interview with Responsible Gambling, believes that the Owls just need to be resilient now after what has been a very difficult season. The American said, "Danny Röhl has come from Germany,...
The Owls secured Championship survival on Saturday with a 2-0 win at The Stadium of Light, capping a remarkable comeback effort that was lit by the appointment of manager Danny Röhl in October. The marked impact of Röhl and his coaching staff inspired the improvement in fortunes of the vast majority of the Wednesday squad that was languishing winless to become one of the form sides in the second tier across several months. And speaking to The Star, Röhl believes that can help Wednesday attract...
