The Wednesday Week: Two Defeats, One Departure and a Week to Forget at Sheffield Wednesday

It’s been quite the week at Sheffield Wednesday, and not one we’ll be looking back on particularly fondly.

Back-to-back 2-0 defeats against Notts County and Doncaster Rovers have brought the Owls crashing back down to earth, with performances raising serious questions about the direction of the team. Defensive mistakes, injuries, a red card for Jamal Lowe and another frustrating lack of goals have all contributed to a miserable few days.

The biggest news, however, came on Sunday as Sheffield Wednesday confirmed the departure of manager Henrik Pedersen, bringing an end to his time at Hillsborough following a difficult start to the League One campaign.

Dan Fudge is joined by a bumper crowd of Stevie, Hollie, Ash, Tom and Jon to pick through the wreckage of a miserable week, question the tactical decisions and team selections, and discuss whether Pedersen’s departure was inevitable despite the loyalty and dignity he showed during one of the club’s most turbulent periods.

We also discuss the worrying injury to DiShon Bernard, Gabriel Otegbayo’s absence from the squad, the racist abuse directed at Jamal Lowe following his dismissal at Meadow Lane, and the latest developments off the pitch, including Wednesday’s new partnership with Village Hotels.

Two defeats, no goals, a managerial departure and plenty to talk about. Where do Sheffield Wednesday go from here, and who should be the next man in the Hillsborough hot seat?
