Shelf Wednesday
By Daniel Lewis
11/12/15
The general consensus following the bland goalless draw against promotion favourites Derby County last weekend was that Wednesday had gained one point rather than dropping two.
Carlos Carvalhal went as far as saying that he was "proud" of the effort each and every one of his players put in to just about keep the momentum going.
Defeat to Stoke City in the League Cup ended any aspirations the Owls had of reaching the final of a major cup competition, but hopes still very much remain high of a return to top-flight football for the first time in some 15 years. For that to happen, Wednesday must now look to get back to winning ways in the Championship after taking just six points from the last 15 on offer over the last month or so. There is certainly no knocking the character shown by the squad, though, as late goals against Huddersfield Town and Blackburn Rovers in recent weeks helped to salvage points that looked to have slipped away. Wednesday's overall record now stands at one defeat in 13 outings, coming on the back of a disappointing showing when falling to a 3-1 reverse at Charlton Athletic, which ensures that they remain firmly in the chase for a top-six finish. Carvalhal's biggest task is getting his side to start a little stronger in games, having scored just one goal in the opening 15 minutes of a match thus far, but remaining tough to beat is certainly a key ingredient in any promotion-winning season. Earning another point at Cardiff to make it three draws on the bounce certainly would not be the worst outcome for Wednesday, who face two bottom-placed sides in their next two outings after this weekend.
