Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan hopes to see Ipswich Town promoted to the Premier League - an outcome that would almost certainly mean former club Leeds United missing out. Leeds and Ipswich look set to go head-to-head for the second automatic promotion place, following Leicester City’s commanding 5-0 thumping of Southampton on Tuesday evening. Enzo Maresca’s side need just three points to secure a top-two finish, with that victory virtually condemning the Saints to a play-off place due...
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...
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...
Queens Park Rangers recorded a rampant 4-0 win over Wednesday’s automatic promotion-chasing rivals Leeds United to take them to 53 points and into 17th place in the table. It leaves them seven points clear of Birmingham City in the first relegation spot and seals their Championship status for next season. Goals from Ilias Chair, Lucas Andersen, Lyndon Dykes and Sam Field finished the job for the London side, who together with the Owls had spent much of the campaign in the bottom three. Like...
Sheffield Wednesday’s battling 2-2 draw at home to high-flying Norwich City was a momentous occasion in the club’s proud history. It was the Owls’ 5,000th league match, with the vast majority of those games having been played at Hillsborough Stadium. It has been Sheffield Wednesday’s home since 1899, just seven years after they joined the Football League in 1892, and the ground has undergone some huge changes in that time. These photos take you back in time through the stadium’s history, from...
The FA have announced a number of changes to next season's FA Cup competition to strengthen its standing and 'enhance its magic'. Most notably replays from the first round onwards have been scrapped, meaning every tie will be settled over the course of one meeting. At present, replays are in place until the fifth round, but the FA has made the decision to ditch them altogether once Football League teams begin to enter the competition. The latter stages of the FA Cup will also be played over...
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. Their foremost rivals for their first safety spot are Birmingham City, who sit one spot and one place behind Wednesday heading into a killer clash at Huddersfield Town in 23rd this weekend. News broke in the Midlands media that Blues captain Dion Sanderson has been charged with drink-driving and will...

The Owls captain has won numerous Player of the Season gongs, and been named in the EFL Team of the Season over the course of his Hillsborough career, but it’ll always mean a lot to him to be appreciated by the Wednesday fanbase.

The Owls drew 1-1 with the Potters at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, a result that saw them miss the chance to climb out of the Championship relegation zone and take a big step towards safety. Röhl used all five of his substitutes in the game, however four of them came from the 84th minute onwards, and some have questioned why the German didn’t switch things up sooner. He says that there was a very simple reason - he didn’t think he needed to. "Until the equaliser there were not many...
