There was a point a few months ago when Johnson was off the radar at Hillsborough completely, left unregistered by Xisco and seemingly on the way out – that all changed when Danny Röhl took over. The 33-year-old has missed just three Championship fixtures since being brought back into the fold, two of which came earlier this month, and it was his goal on Sunday afternoon that set Wednesday on course to the victory at Blackburn Rovers that saw them finally climb out of the bottom three. Barry...
The upcoming GCSE exam season may be returned to normal after the pandemic - but after all the disruption, some pressure might this year be taken off pupils who studied through Covid-19. The Department foe Education has confirmed there will be no ‘Progress 8’ reports published for schools for the 2024/25 and 2025/26 academic years. The score is a measure for assessing schools based on how well pupils did in their KS2 results compared to the end of KS4 when they did their GCSEs. Positive scores...
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...
When this season started, it looked like Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid would defend his regular season MVP title. Unfortunately, he got injured and was ruled out of the season. However, it didn’t discourage Drew Hanlen from naming Embiid as the best player. Hanlen is Joel’s trainer and accompanies him most of the time. He …

Report finds St Bede’s Catholic College performed the best
The first half was a tight one, and needed two moments of quality to find the net. First it was Josh Windass with a brilliant goal from range, then from Sammie Smodics to level things up. Wednesday have spent months in the bottom three, almost the entire season in fact, but after an excellent second half display that included a fine goal from Marvin Johnson and a bizarre one from Aynsley Pears they have managed to finally escape it. They’re up to 21st with two games to go - could they really...
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...
Wednesday Ladies were looking to replicate their big win at home to Brinsworth Whitehill of the weekend, where Broomhead sensationally bagged a double hat-trick to help her side to a well-needed win, and she will have been hoping to carry on where she left off. Middlewood Rovers, however, were a side that were certain to pose a threat. Averaging over two goals a game, the Owlesses had to be compact in defence to quash their threat, particularly that of attacker, Jasmine Steel - who had bagged 11...
The Owls picked up a huge win over Blackburn Rovers over the weekend, securing a 3-1 victory that saw them climb out of the Championship bottom three and finally take their fate into their own hands. Now, with games against West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland standing between themselves and another season in the second tier, the Wednesday skipper has explained that they’ve ticked one box off on their list of targets – they just need to do the same with a couple more. Bannan, who played his 400th...
On Sunday, after a massive win over Blackburn Rovers, the German beckoned his technical team onto the edge of the box in front of a packed out away end so that they could celebrate with the 7,300+ travelling fans together. Henrik Pedersen, Sal Bibbo, Sascha Lense, Chris Powell and Neil Thompson threw their arms in the air alongside the manager to the delight of the Wednesdayites in front of them, and it was another moment that showed how far the team has come since October. Wednesday, as a...
Kieron Lee’s side were looking to make it three on the bounce and end their SHWGL campaign on a high with a clash versus their local rivals, and though Rotherham found themselves four places below Wednesday in the league table, a 4-2 defeat last time out meant that they were a team to be wary of. The Owlesses side is unrecognisable when looking back to that day, and with confidence high it felt like it would be an uphill battle for the Millers in this South Yorkshire derby at the Jubilee. After...
