The Owls face Blackburn this afternoon in a huge game in the Championship relegation scrap, and Wednesday have a chance to climb out of the bottom three with a win after both Huddersfield Town and Birmingham dropped points on Saturday afternoon. Huddersfield were heavily beaten by Swansea City in a 4-0 defeat, while Rotherham United held the Blues to a 0-0 draw that opened things up for Danny Röhl’s side when they visit Ewood Park. Bielik, who worked with Rovers manager, John Eustace, during...
The 23-year-old got the ball rolling for the Owls at Hillsborough on Saturday afternoon, scoring the opening goal at S6 on the way to securing a hugely important 3-0 victory over West Bromwich Albion. He was also involved in the second and third goals, too. There were some great scenes from the young Dutchman as he celebrated with supporters at S6 – though the removal of his shirt did get him booked – and he spoke of how he feels they ‘deserve’ that sort of relationship. Speaking to The Star he...
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...
The promotion-chasing Baggies head to Hillsborough on Saturday knowing a win will all but secure a place in the top six barring an unthinkable goal difference swing in favour of Hull City. Their hosts will have designs on picking up three points themselves of course having climbed out of the bottom three last weekend, sitting one point clear of the drop zone. A whopping 25 points and 16 league positions separate the two sides, who are battling to achieve very different aspirations heading into...
Rotherham United have brought their former boss Steve Evans back to the club after he oversaw 172 matches with the club between April 2021 and September 2015, earning back-to-back promotions in the process. He takes over a club already consigned to relegation to the third tier, but who can do Wednesday a favour in their survival effort this weekend. Evans’ first clash back in charge of the Millers will be against the Owls’ fellow drop battlers Birmingham City at the New York Stadium on Saturday....
The former Leeds United coach spoke glowingly pre-match of the sense of occasion he expected at S6 and made a point of explaining the relative indifference in form between the two sides. A sold-out Hillsborough roared Wednesday to a victory that took the Owls a place further up the Championship table and three points clear of the drop zone. A single point at Sunderland on the final day will secure safety. The Baggies meanwhile needed a win to all-but secure a play-off place. Defeat leaves them...
Wednesday picked up a 3-1 victory that saw them leapfrog both Huddersfield Town and Birmingham City in the Championship table, getting them out of the bottom three for the first time in many months. Over 7,300 Wednesdayites gathered in the away end at Ewood Park to cheer on Danny Röhl and his side, and were sent into scenes of jubilation as they watched their team score twice in front of them on what will be a memorable away day. Photographer, Steve Ellis, was on hand to capture some brilliant...
There were memorable scenes at Ewood Park as Sheffield Wednesday’s supporters celebrated a monumental win against Blackburn Rovers. The Owls were backed by a stunning away following with over 7,300 supporters roaring on Danny Rohl’s men as they boosted their chances of extending their stay in the Championship beyond a solitary season. Goals from Josh Windass and Marvin Johnson coupled with a catastrophic own goal from hosts keeper Aynsley Pears helped Wednesday move out of the relegation zone...
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,...
And they’ll likely have talismanic midfielder Barry Bannan involved despite a substitution late on in a win over West Bromwich Albion that sparked fan fears of a possible injury. The Owls skipper left the field in the 77th minute of the Baggies win - he was replaced by Momo Diaby - in what was his 44th appearance of the campaign. Bannan produced a leader’s performance on the day, contributing in both directions as Wednesday took a giant leap towards safety. A point at Sunderland next weekend...
Wednesday will require a win to guarantee they enter the final day of the season outside of the bottom three, while the Baggies need a win to all-but confirm their place in the play-offs. It’s the hosts that have the better form and as pointed out by visiting manager Carlos Corberan pre-match, a table taken from the last 25 matches has them only three points apart. Both sides will be roared on by sold-out allocations at Hillsborough. West Brom are set to bring 2,400 supporters to South...
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...
