Goals from Liam Palmer and Josh Windass got the job done in Wearside, with the Owls finishing 20th in the Championship and avoiding the drop despite spending just 22 days out of the bottom three over the course of the entire season. A recent run of five games unbeaten left them with their fate in their own hands heading into the final day, and after extending that run to six games with a momentous victory that left them and their manager, Danny Röhl, full of smiles. It brought to a climax...
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...
Sky Sports have confirmed a change to their coverage that will impact Sheffield United, Sheffield Wednesday and their rivals next season. The Owls have secured their Championship status for next year after dodging the drop on the final day and putting together a superb run of form heading into that season finale. A dreadful start to the season almost cost Wednesday their spot in the Championship, but fans will be intrigued to see what can be achieved with Danny Rohl in the dugout for the full...
Ugbo was a brilliant signing for Wednesday in the January transfer window, coming in to score some vital goals and put on a number of strong showings as they pulled off the great escape and managed to stay in the Championship. The 25-year-old hadn’t had the best of times at Cardiff City in his loan spell in the first half of the campaign, but quickly became a pivotal figure under Danny Röhl and was a popular player amongst the Wednesdayite fanbase. Now, with the final game of the season done -...
It’s three months until the 2024/25 campaign gets underway on August 10th, and Danny Röhl has already started working on the way forward as they look to make sure that they’re facing another relegation battle in a year’s time Here are the things that should be top of the club’s to-do list: It’s a hot topic given the incredible job that he’s done at Wednesday, and plenty of Owls fans are concerned that the man who oversaw their remarkable turnaround since October may not be here when the new...
A point was all they needed, after months of hard work clawing back the gap that they found themselves with after a horrendous start to the season. Even in defeat they knew that only a win for both Plymouth Argyle and Birmingham City would send them down, but that wasn’t enough to stop most battle-hardened Wednesdayite from heading into this one a bag of nerves. They couldn’t have got off to a better start as Liam Palmer and Josh Windass gave them a 2-0 lead going into the break, but results...
The Wales international made 37 appearances across all competitions in a campaign that displayed the fighting spirit he has become known for at S6. Having found playing time tough to come by under Xisco - he was left out of five matches on the spin in September - the Wirral-born battler fought his way back into contention under Danny Röhl to play an integral role in the final months of the campaign. Vaulks, a fan favourite who has already won awards for his contribution both on and off the pitch...
Several of the players in question have jetted off on holiday following their final match of the campaign, which secured their safety in the Championship courtesy of a 2-0 win at Sunderland. The club have time to continue discussions and inform players of their decisions, with the deadline for formally letting players know falling next weekend. A raft of senior players at Wednesday are approaching the end of their deals, some of whom have one-year extension clauses that can be enacted by the...
Around 2,600 Wednesdayites made the trip to the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon to see their team clinch a vital 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Liam Palmer and Josh Windass, the pair delivering in the big games once again after their role in promotion a year ago. There were plenty of fans left in blue and white long after the final whistle, and the players took their time to celebrate with them despite being so far away on the top tier at Sunderland’s ground. They could be heard from...
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...
Supporters of Sheffield Wednesday have been praised for a classy gesture during their recent match against Sunderland, as heartwarming efforts to turn one fan’s abhorrent actions into something positive continue. The Owls officially avoided relegation on Saturday (May 4, 2024), when a 2-0 win against Sunderland at the Stadium of Light secured their place in the Championship for another season. But there was a silver lining for fans of the Black Cats, after Sheffield Wednesday fans dug deep and...
They looked delighted but exhausted. Boss Danny Röhl slumped into the press room with a smile, shaking hands with each reporter present as is a matter of course but sharing a hug with those that have been along on the journey. He admitted the last six months had taken an emotional toll. It had taken a toll on everyone. The entrails of the mission have been well storied by now. The setbacks, the ups and downs have been strewn across the pages and airwaves and have been discussed in pubs. So too...
