Danny Rohl bound to axe Sheffield Wednesday trio vs Swansea City after dismal Burnley performances
Following their 2-0 loss to Burnley the previous weekend, Sheffield Wednesday will play Swansea City at Hillsborough on Tuesday night.
In a loss that had both advantages and disadvantages for Danny Rohl’s team, the Owls gave up goals before and after halftime.
One advantage was that Wednesday was competitive for a significant amount of the game. The disadvantages were individual mistakes and a lack of firepower.
After the game, Yan Valery received criticism from Sheffield Wednesday supporters for his error that resulted in Burnley’s first goal.
Olaf Kobacki received a 5/10 for his performance that day in attack, which was maybe his poorest while wearing a Sheffield Wednesday shirt.
Additionally, the Pole might be one of three players cut for Tuesday night’s match against Swansea City.
Three Sheffield Wednesday players who are bound to be axed vs Swansea City
Ike Ugbo
Ike Ugbo, a striker, has yet to score a league goal this season after reportedly leaving Troyes for £2.5 million in the summer.
For Ugbo, it’s a frustrating time. Despite his present difficulties, Rohl has supported Ugbo to eventually start scoring goals for Sheffield Wednesday.
Given that this game comes just after the Burnley game and that Sheffield Wednesday supporters have sold out for the long trip to Portsmouth on Friday, Rohl might choose to start Jamal Lowe against his old team, Swansea.
It would serve rotational reasons in addition to providing the Owls with a new outlet up top.
Olaf Kobacki
As previously said, Kobacki might be benched against Swansea due to his subpar performance against Burnley.
Additionally, Josh Windass would be back in the Sheffield Wednesday starting lineup at that time after missing the Burnley match.
According to reports, Windass is available for the upcoming match and might be started right away to try to give the Owls greater offensive emphasis.
In his seven Championship games for the Owls, Kobacki has yet to contribute to a goal. In contrast, Windass has two goals in eight league games this year.
Djeidi Gassama
Djeidi Gassama was another Sheffield Wednesday player who received backlash on social media following the Burney match.
This season, the Frenchman has been in and out of the starting lineup, starting five games so far but not finishing any of them.
He has only managed one goal this season and was wasteful against Burnley, setting up himself in advantageous positions but falling short of the game-winning goal.
Expect Anthony Musaba to come into the XI with he and Windass a seemingly favoured partnership for Rohl.
