Sheffield Wednesday manager, Danny Röhl, was more pleased with his side in their defeat to Blackburn Rovers than he was drawing to Preston North End.

It’s been a tough few days at Hillsborough as the Owls’ rough run of form on home soil continued after Makhtar Gueye gave Rovers a 1-0 victory to follow up on the 1-1 draw against Preston over the weekend.
Röhl didn’t pull any punches after the Lilywhites result, criticising his players for the way that they performed, but despite a worse result on Tuesday night he admitted that he couldn’t fault his ranks too much.

“My team invested a lot,” Röhl told The Star afterwards. “Both teams were well organised and there was not much in it, not so many chances for both teams. The data is similar, but it’s a similar story in these tight games, especially when we play against teams that are ahead of us. I’m honest I think there is something in every game, but there is a difference between a mid table position and top of the table.
“These types of games you have to win if you have the opportunity… I said this to my players, it was a 50/50 – we played a team with four wins in a row and who are in a good mode. We are close, but not close enough.”
He also told Radio Sheffield, “I must say, from the performance I feel ok with my team. I cannot find so many things that they didn’t try, and the last days it’s really been a topic of how we work against the ball, how we are connected, and how we are ready to run to close. All the things we did.”
