There's a reason why the phrase 'typical Wednesday' exists. Shade often follows light. They typically haven't been very good away from home over the years. They've had long runs in the past where they haven't been able to overcome deficits. Last season they looked doomed to relegation after a heavy defeat at Ipswich Town and an abject performance at Middlesbrough. This is a new Wednesday these days. Now the Owls lead the Championship for points gained from a losing position (20).

Another eventful week at Hillsborough then? Both managers were asked about the story at their press conferences. Juric said it was "normal" for the boss of a struggling team to be linked with the sack. He's lost all but one of his 10 Premier League matches in charge of Saints. Meanwhile, Rohl used a straight bat the England cricket team could have done with during the recent Champions Trophy. I know some people think journalists were born yesterday - but none of us expected any revelations.

Coventry's winning goal on Saturday was a huge error by goalkeeper James Beadle. However, I disagree with the online chatter that he should be dropped or that the Owls were wrong for re-loaning and starting him ahead of talented 19-year-old Pierce Charles. Firstly on Charles, he is very highly-rated behind the scenes at Hillsborough. I remember going on Wednesday's summer training camp in 2023 with several players commenting he was destined for big things.

No Barry Bannan. No Di'Shon Bernard. No problem for Sheffield Wednesday. The Owls got the job done against Swansea, arguably the most frustrating team to watch in the Championship with their draining possession-for-the-sake of it style of play. Another away win in a season of excellent road victories. Wednesday are two points off the play-offs and are in the hunt. They have a chance. Think about that for a second. From relegation near-certainties to dreaming of the Premier League in 16 months.

Even by Sheffield Wednesday's standards, this was a bizarre January transfer window. A highly unnecessary five-hour fans forum on 15 January, hosted by the chairman Dejphon Chansiri, revealed he hadn't spoken to his manager Danny Rohl since the turn of the month.
