00:00 So another Sheffield Wednesday win. It was a little bit nervy towards the end there.
00:04 Wednesday we were in complete control for the first half and obviously beat Rotherham 1-0 today.
00:10 Another EK Ugbo goal, which is you know his record since he arrived at Wednesday has been fantastic.
00:16 He's doing a very very good Ken Wyn Jones impression as things stand. I think probably go as far as saying that he is
00:22 Wednesday's best midseason signing since Jones. He's just been ace since he came in and today was important.
00:30 It wasn't quite how it wanted to, I suppose how everyone wanted to go given
00:34 that there were some crazy wins down at the bottom of the table. So Wednesday didn't manage to make up too much ground.
00:39 But they did manage to keep pace, which is just as important at this point. Wednesday's form is really really good.
00:46 Four wins from five. It's I mean, it's certainly not relegation form, that's for sure.
00:51 It's going to be a big game against Plymouth on Tuesday night now, obviously Leeds after that.
00:56 But Wednesday deserved it today. They're showing and they have done on numerous occasions, they're showing different parts of their game.
01:03 They're showing first off they were unlucky not to be leading, let's have it right. They absolutely dominated Rotherham. Akinfamewo
01:11 drastically unlucky not to have a goal to his name after seeing his goal disallowed and looking back at the replay
01:18 he's so far onside, it's unbelievable.
01:21 But luckily it didn't matter. I spoke to Danny about it afterwards and he did say he hasn't seen it yet.
01:26 I think he might have been a little bit more angry if Wednesday had not come out of this with a result.
01:30 But yeah, like I say, Wednesday's showing different elements of their game. They were able to play well and
01:36 create a lot in the first half. They weren't quite as free-flowing in the second half, but they did what they had to do.
01:41 They got their goal and then they defended really well when they needed to. I thought Liam Palmer was great again.
01:47 Barry Bannerman made a goal line clearance which was as good as a goal. It was a brilliant bit of defending.
01:53 You had people like Akinfamewo, Michael Ekwer putting their bodies on the line.
01:57 I thought Will Valks in the first half was superb. Just a really good
02:00 battling performance at the bottom end of the Championship table. Wednesday now
02:05 still three points, three points adrift.
02:08 Doesn't really help the league position, but it does help for confidence.
02:13 It does help for momentum. And now, like I say, big game against Plymouth on Tuesday.
02:18 Danny, speaking to him after the game, was really pleased with it.
02:21 He did say it's just another three points.
02:22 Obviously, it's a little bit more than that, given that it was Radhvan.
02:25 Did get a little bit tetchy in there at times today.
02:29 Sorry. I know that there was a few fans around me that weren't too pleased with what was going on.
02:34 A few different chants. They don't have much love for Michael Ekwer and Michael Smith anymore either, that's for sure.
02:40 But like I say, another good win for Wednesday.
02:43 We've got loads on the website today and that will continue into the weekend.
02:47 Spoke to Danny, spoke to Dominic Aorfa.
02:49 So that's all to come on the Startup Code at UK.
02:51 Keep it locked and I'll speak to you soon. Cheers.
