Sheffield Wednesday reveal will be bittersweet for Danny Rohl

For Sheffield Wednesday, who have won their past three league games by a combined total of seven points, the

international break could not have come at a worse time.

The team’s early-season performance has improved under Danny Rohl, as shown by the wins over West Bromwich

Albion and Coventry City, which came after a draw with Bristol City.y.

According to FotMob, Wednesday has only squandered six big chances in the Championship this year.

This data shows that the team is now second in the league for major opportunities wasted; the only team with more

than the squad is Plymouth Argyle, with four.

chances when presented with them.

Their ability to convert opportunities will win them games, and Wednesday’s success indicates that they have gained

crucial points that they otherwise may have dropped.Sheffield Wednesday’s goals have been shared around this

Sheffield Wednesday not creating enough chances

This season, Rohl’s club has generated 12 enormous opportunities, placing them 20th in terms of large chances

created by FotMob. They have only scored 11 goals in the Championship, so this can become a problem in the future.

Of doubt, they should be commended for being among the league’s most clinical teams, but it would be challenging

for any team to continue playing with such ruthlessness for the whole season.

It is not surprising that the team is having trouble creating opportunities, considering how close they came to

relegation the previous season, but they need to find a way to be more inventive in the last third of the game.Barry

Bannan has long been the man who has dictated play in the hub of Wednesday’s midfield, but the burden must be

eased on the 34-year-old, who has managed one league assist so far this season.

Anthony Musaba has helped ease the burden on Bannan and has been the Owls’ biggest creator this season, leading

the way with two league assists.

The manager has been chopping and changing in the forward areas, which shows he has been trying to find solutions

in front of goal.

Jamal Lowe, Ike Ugbo and Michael Smith have all started up front for Wednesday this season, but have only

managed two league goals between them, with Lowe and Smith bagging one each.

The Owls certainly have quality in front of goal, and Rohl will be working hard to make things click moving forward.
