The Wednesday Week

The Wednesday Week: Two Defeats, One Departure and a Week to Forget at Sheffield WednesdayIt’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?#SWFC #SheffieldWednesday #TheWednesdayWeek #LeagueOne #WAWAW Hosted on Acast.

Ahead of Sheffield Wednesday's League One clash with Doncaster Rovers, Dan Fudge is joined by Rovers supporter Adam Gittings for the latest episode of Hello From The Other Side from The Wednesday Week podcast.With Doncaster struggling for consistency this season, we get the opposition perspective on what's going wrong at Rovers and whether Grant McCann can turn things around.Adam looks back at last season's 14th-place finish, the expectations heading into the 2026/27 campaign and whether Doncaster's summer recruitment has delivered. We discuss the departure of Luke Molyneux, the arrivals of Alfie May, James Collins and Will Keane, and whether Rovers have enough firepower to climb the League One table.Injuries have also played their part, but how much of Doncaster's difficult start can be attributed to an unsettled squad, and how much responsibility lies with the manager?We also discuss Henrik Pedersen's Sheffield Wednesday, what Adam makes of the Owls' promotion ambitions and what both sides can expect from Saturday's South Yorkshire derby.Finally, where will Sheffield Wednesday and Doncaster Rovers finish this season, and what's Adam's score prediction?Get the Doncaster Rovers perspective ahead of Sheffield Wednesday vs Doncaster Rovers on The Wednesday Week.#SWFC #DRFC #SheffieldWednesday #DoncasterRovers #LeagueOne #EFL Hosted on Acast.

Sheffield Wednesday put five past AFC Wimbledon at Hillsborough, extending their unbeaten run to nine games, but was this the performance Owls fans have been waiting for?This week on The Wednesday Week, we look back at Wednesday's emphatic 5-0 victory, the impressive form of Davis Keillor-Dunn and whether Henrik Pedersen is finally getting the best out of his Sheffield Wednesday squad. We also ask whether criticism of the manager has been misunderstood. After all, wanting better football doesn't necessarily mean wanting a new manager.Away from the pitch, we discuss the news that Sheffield Wednesday Supporters' Trust chairman James Silverwood has been invited onto the club's board. Is this a major step forward for fan engagement, or does it raise questions about independence and accountability?Plus, we look at the latest injury and selection news, Wednesday's League One promotion prospects and Tuesday night's trip to Notts County.Five goals, plenty of opinions and, as ever, absolutely no guarantee we'll all agree.The Wednesday Week. By Wednesday fans, for Wednesday fans.#SWFC #SheffieldWednesday #TheWednesdayWeek #LeagueOne #WAWAW Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
