Thoughts on a big Sheffield Wednesday win at Stoke City

Transcript

00:00 Well, the weather here is about as lovely as that game of football was.

00:03 It's cold, it's wet, it's windy and frankly that 90 minutes was pretty awful from both

00:09 sides.

00:10 You know, Wednesday and Stoke both really struggled to get into the game, loose passes

00:14 everywhere, it was just scrappy and very, it was sort of the quintessentially old school

00:20 championship.

00:21 Like I say, just a lack of quality going forward.

00:23 But, in the end, Wednesday got what they came for, they finally have a win on the road and

00:29 you've got to feel for, you know, you can't feel anything but proud of the players.

00:34 The way they battled on, I think Danny Rowe was really, really pleased with the fact that

00:38 he made his changes and three of them combined for the winner, Anthony Massaba.

00:43 His turn to get away from the man was brilliant and the finish was cool, calm and composed,

00:48 which is exactly what you want in the stoppage time of a game like that.

00:52 So, got the job done.

00:53 Just a little bit of news on Callum Paterson, he was ill, which is why he was missing today.

00:59 Hopefully he'll be back for Wednesday.

01:01 But, yeah, Wednesday they got, they did what they needed to do.

01:05 I think it wouldn't be unfair to say it was probably the worst they've played under Danny

01:09 Rowe since he came in.

01:12 Both teams really struggled.

01:13 Danny said that he knew it was going to be a war of addition sort of thing, that it was

01:16 going to be a tough game to play out.

01:18 But, they did enough and that's what we've not seen from Wednesday for too long this

01:24 season.

01:25 In the early stages especially, they weren't able to keep the back door closed.

01:30 Obviously, a big moment today for Cam Dawson.

01:33 One of our own was being chanted from the away end after his penalty save.

01:38 Just a really big moment for him, really tough for him because he made a big save earlier

01:42 in the game to keep John Howell out, I think it was.

01:45 But that penalty stop shifted the momentum of the match completely.

01:49 Wednesday were under the cosh, the pressure was mounting and after that the momentum's

01:53 changed.

01:54 From a Wednesday perspective, that was huge.

01:58 Onwards now, Wednesday are off the bottom of the table.

02:00 It feels like it's been coming.

02:03 Wednesday have been able to turn around the performances and now it's two wins and a draw

02:08 in the last three off to Norwich on Wednesday in midweek.

02:11 Let's see if we can get something there as well.

02:14 Cheers.
