Sheffield Wednesday captain Barry Bannan says the team spoke about securing their Championship survival at Sunderland immediately after beating West Brom 3-0 at Hillsborough. The Owls have spent much of this season in the relegation zone but have taken seven points from their last three matches. Following a 1-1 draw against Stoke, Danny Rohl’s side have recorded back-to-back wins over Blackburn and West Brom to move out of the bottom three, meaning a draw at Sunderland would secure their...
Wednesday went into the last home game of the season with their fate in their own hands after a huge win over Blackburn Rovers the following week got them out of the bottom three, and they were looking to take another step towards safety at S6 against a Baggies side gunning for the play-offs. The talk in the week was about how important the crowd could be in helping them get the job done, and the fans certainly took it to heart as they roared the team on to a fantastic 3-0 win that put them in...
The Owls have been chasing the pack above them for months now, consistently relying on favours from other teams in order to try and make progress up the league table, but that is no longer the case. A five game unbeaten run, including three big wins, has put Wednesday in charge of their own destiny, leaving them needing just a point away at Sunderland in order to confirm their Championship status, and Röhl admits that it’s a nice position to be in after what they’ve invested since his arrival at...
The German did a phenomenal job at Hillsborough after coming on board in October, putting the Owls on course to formulating midtable form throughout and finishing the campaign with a promotion-challenging run of results. But despite the points they picked up, it wasn’t until the 11th hour that Wednesday actually managed to get out of the bottom three – and in the end they managed to stay up having spent just 22 days outside of the drop zone all season. Röhl has spoken previously about the...
It’s been a long time since at Wednesday manager won a Championship Manager of the Month gong, with Carlos Carvalhal in April 2017 being the last one to land one. That could potentially change on Friday. Röhl has overseen a remarkable upturn in results since taking over at Hillsborough, and last month saw them finally climb out of the relegation zone after going through April with just one defeat - beating Queens Park Rangers, Blackburn Rovers and West Bromwich Albion along the way. The nominees...
‘Palms’ was the reigning Player of the Season after an excellent campaign in the Owls’ League One promotion win, but six games into Röhl’s tenure he was yet to play a single Championship minute for the new manager. The German spoke of how he saw him as a right back only, which didn’t help his game time, but by the time the end of the season rolled around – and the great escape that came with it – Palmer had worked his way back into the XI, and played a host of roles, too. He’s one of the many...
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...

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...
Food halls are having a bit of a moment in Sheffield. Cutlery Works in Neepsend and Kommune on Angel Street have been named among the best in the UK, Sheffield Plate at Orchard Square is thriving and the city’s original food hall at Moor Market remains popular. They will soon be joined by Cambridge Street Collective, which it is said will be Europe’s largest purpose-built food hall, with capacity for 1,200 diners. But there’s another new addition to the scene at The Steamworks, a vast former...
Ex-Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui has agreed become West Ham's new manager. West Ham confirmed on Monday night that David Moyes will leave the club. It's that time of the season! Who are the top five players of the season? Listen to the
Wednesday needed a win at Bramall Lane in order to keep their hopes of a top two finish in the U18 Professional Development League alive, with Barnsley having won one of their games in hand earlier in the day to leapfrog them into second. For the Owls it was their final game of what has been a largely successful season, for United it was a chance to take bragging rights from their city rivals despite not really having anything to play for in terms of their league position. It was a cagey affair,...
