The Owls captain has won numerous Player of the Season gongs, and been named in the EFL Team of the Season over the course of his Hillsborough career, but it’ll always mean a lot to him to be appreciated by the Wednesday fanbase. This week Bannan added to his collection after he was voted as the Wise Old Owls Player of the Year for 2023/24, seeing off the competition from his teammates to scoop the gong, doing so for the first time since 2016 when he shared it with Fernando Forestieri during the...
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...
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...
It’ll be his first experience of a sold out Hillsborough and with plenty on the line, they’ll welcome play-off hunting West Bromwich Albion to S6 hoping not only to retain their place in the safety zone, but to leapfrog a team or two ahead of them by claiming a vital win. And as the boom of Jeff Beck’s Hi Ho Silver Lining blasts out into the South Yorkshire afternoon, Valentin will drink it in. English football, he said, is a bit special on that front. “I cannot wait to be on the pitch,” said...
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...

It reflects the work across a lot of different activities that have come together to make the place what it is.” The club has also launched several initiatives to...

Both Sheffield sides have had a strong campaign in 2023/24, and they headed into the clash at Bramall Lane occupying the two spaces behind leaders, Birmingham City, but with games in hand. Wednesday had one, United three, and a win for either side would see them rise to first place.
