As the 2023–24 season drew to a close, Wednesday and Blackburn were struggling at the bottom of the Championship table. The Owls’ successful attempt to stay in the division depended heavily on a crucial victory at Ewood Park.
In the months that have followed, things have somewhat improved for both teams, and they enter this evening’s match with a better chance of qualifying for the playoffs than of facing off against the opposition.
For Eustace, who has guided his team to sixth with four straight wins of late, he thinks that this evening’s hosts will provide a big threat with their ‘momentum and confidence’ that they have kept with them, praising the team as well as their manager in the build-up to the fixture.
“They’re a really good team, they’re very experienced and they recruited very well in the summer,” he said to RoversTV. “They’ve really backed the manager there after he kept them up last season and it’s important that we go there full of confidence. We know it’s going to be a difficult game but it’s one we’re really looking forward to. I think they carried some of that momentum and confidence over from last season because at one point they were in a really tricky situation.
Both the players they brought in and the players who were already there had positive experiences there. They have the experience, the manager is an excellent coach, and they understand what the Championship is all about. They’re doing great, and the game will be challenging.
Röhl’s team will try to reduce the gap on the top six to only two points by the end of the evening when the two teams square off at 7:45 p.m.
