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...
Huddersfield Town boss Andre Breitenreiter was left begging for VAR after his players were brought to tears after a late equaliser on Saturday. The Terriers could have moved out of the relegation zone with a win, but they could only manage a draw against Bristol City due to a controversial decision deep into stoppage time. Bristol were awarded a penalty 11 minutes into second half stoppage time, affording Nahki Wells the opportunity to level the score. The result means Huddersfield stay in the...
Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett has been speaking ahead of a game that will have a huge impact on Sheffield Wednesday’s season. Birmingham are preparing to face relegation rivals Huddersfield Town away from home this weekend, with the two sides separated by just two points. A Birmingham win could relegate Huddersfield if Wednesday pick up just one point this weekend, while if Wednesday win and Birmingham lose, the Blues will no longer be able to catch the Owls. It’s a pivotal fixture in the...
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...
Vitesse Arnhem face a battle to start next season after the club was relegated by the Dutch football association for breaching the terms of its professional licence. Vitesse were penalised 18 points after the KNVB’s licensing committee ruled it had failed to deliver accurate half-yearly results or to clarify its relationship with Russian billionaire Roman Abramovich. An investigation by the Guardian newspaper and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) uncovered documents that appeared to...
Wednesday climbed out of the bottom three for the first time since Röhl’s arrival over the weekend, beating Blackburn Rovers 3-1 at Ewood Park to give themselves a real shot of staving off the drop and another season in League One. The German has overseen a remarkable turnaround after the Owls’ worst ever start to a season, and McCoist believes that he’s ‘transformed’ the team during his spell in charge. "What a story that is at Sheffield Wednesday!" McCoist said, as quoted by Football League...
Birmingham City boss Gary Rowett has high hopes of being able to call on veteran striker Lukas Jutkiewicz this weekend. The Blues, who dropped back into the relegation zone last weekend after Sheffield Wednesday's win over Blackburn Rovers, take on Huddersfield Town on Saturday afternoon in what can only be described as a do or die encounter for both teams. Birmingham are 22nd, a point behind the Owls, while Huddersfield are 23rd and three points adrift of safety. As such, both clubs know...
Huddersfield Town boss Andre Breitenreiter is calling for individuals within his squad step up and take on leadership responsibility over the final two Championship weekends. Huddersfield currently find themselves in the relegation zone, three points behind Sheffield Wednesday, who are 21st at present and setting the survival pace. As such, this weekend's home fixture against Birmingham City, who are 22nd in the table, promises to be make or break when it comes to their hopes of avoiding the...
Blackburn Rovers will be without defender Scott Wharton for the remainder of the season as they battle to secure their Championship status. The defender limped out of Rovers' loss to Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and scans have now revealed that he will not be fit to play until 2025. The defender will undergo surgery in the coming days and his absence will come as a huge blow for John Eustace's Blackburn, who currently sit 19th, just three points above the drop zone and two above Wednesday....
Sheffield Wednesday secured themselves a big boost in their bid to land Championship safety over the weekend, beating relegation rivals Blackburn Rovers 3-1 away from home to jump above the bottom three with just two games remaining. The Owls are now one point above the bottom three heading into their final two games, but they still have plenty of work still to do. As many as five teams could still end up in the two relegation spots, with those on 50 points or more now likely safe. Blackburn are...
Plymouth Argyle interim boss Neil Dewsnip is still backing his side in the Championship survival fight despite their defeat to Stoke City over the weekend. That loss left Argyle still needing to put points on the board to secure their second-tier status, as they are now just two points above the drop with two games remaining after Sheffield Wednesday’s win, leaving Birmingham City the team occupying the final drop spot. Argyle’s loss to fellow strugglers Stoke City over the weekend means they...
Sheffield Wednesday’s bid to remain in the Championship looks set to go right down to the wire but Danny Rohl’s side have put fate in their own hands. Sunday’s brilliant 3-1 win at Blackburn Rovers pulled the Owls out of the relegation zone, with Birmingham City replacing them after only managing a 0-0 draw at Rotherham. There are now just two games remaining and everything still to play for, with seven teams still able to join Rotherham in the bottom three. Wednesday host West Brom before a...
