Alex Miller's view on Sheffield Wednesday's win over Bristol City - and their survival scrap

Transcript

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.
