00:00
Well, how about that then? Sheffield Wednesday have gone three wins from four matches.
00:07
Scarcely believable really if you think about the discourse and what happened at Huddersfield Town just a few weeks ago.
00:15
But my word, it feels a long, long time ago now. Two 1-1 winners against Bristol City.
00:21
A win that was hard fought, a win that was deserved for my money.
00:26
Two goals from Iko Ugo who has changed the complexion of Wednesday's survival fight.
00:32
A lot of the chances that were going begging and serving as a great frustration to Danny Rurl and those around the Wednesday camp.
00:40
Not long ago really and now being put away he's got five goals in his four Wednesday appearances.
00:47
He's already surpassed the tally that he managed for Cardiff in the first half of the season
00:51
and all those concerns about whether he was the striker that Wednesday needed to get the goals
00:58
and get them out of the predicament that they still find themselves in.
01:02
Well, they're looking a little bit foolish now as reasonable as they might have been at the time.
01:07
Another lone player, Jan Pavada, is someone that has undoubtedly changed the game.
01:12
He's had touches and little twists and turns today that frankly weren't safe for work. They were sore sick, we'll put it that way.
01:23
But they've sort of added to and changed the game to a Wednesday side that really needs to be commended for their comeback.
01:29
Not only from the start of the season but it was absolutely horrific, wasn't it?
01:34
And he's without doubt the reason that they find themselves still in the relegation zone despite their efforts over the last few weeks.
01:42
It's come back again, to go to the well again after what happened at Huddersfield.
01:46
It's been mightily impressive, it's proven a lot of people wrong in terms of the obituaries that were being prepared really
01:53
on Wednesday's short stay in the Championship.
01:57
Look, that might still be the case. You see the results elsewhere in the Championship today
02:02
and Wednesday are still three points off those safety spots.
02:07
The battle is still on. It's going to be a difficult level of form to maintain of course.
02:13
But Wednesday are playing with a bit of swagger and there's a tangible playing style to them.
02:18
There's a reason to be excited.
02:21
And in what we've penned as a titanic triple header of matches that you look at and you think they're winnable.
02:31
They got the job done.
02:33
It was a final five minutes that was pretty fraught.
02:37
Danny Royal sort of puffed his cheeks when I asked him of his emotions in the final throws of the game.
02:48
They did it. They managed to get over the line and claim the three points and as I say, the recorders deserved win.
02:56
The tension now moves on to the trip to Rotherham, the short trip to Rotherham.
03:01
Another game that Wednesday of course will be hoping to get three points.
03:05
Rotherham lost again today. They've been improving their performances but they're struggling to get the job done.
03:10
In a season that Rotherham have had, their rock bottom and looking for all money,
03:16
as if they are going to take one of those relegation spots,
03:20
they may well look at the visit of Sheffield Wednesday as an opportunity to get something out of the season.
03:25
It's a great relationship between the two clubs, certainly from that side of the fence,
03:30
and how much the Wednesday game means to them.
03:33
It'll be tough down there. There's the visit of Plymouth on Tuesday.
03:40
That's a back-to-back and a big couple of games.
03:43
And then Leeds United in Switchtown heading into the international break.
03:47
This is a big, big run for Wednesday.
03:50
The Reds are in the net too, as big targets for further wins.
03:55
Job done so far. Alex Mullett for the Sheffield staff.
