Sheffield Wednesday manager Henrik Pedersen expressed his disappointment with the 3-0 loss to Bristol City, but highlighted some positives from the match. Despite the defeat, Pedersen noted that his team’s organized press was a step in the right direction, and their positioning in attack improved in the second half.
Key Issues:
- Conceding Chances: Pedersen identified that losing the ball in the half track and problems with positioning were costly, leading to expensive mistakes that ultimately led to Bristol City’s goals.
- Positives: The Owls’ general organized press was a big step ahead, and their positioning offensively improved in the second half.
Upcoming Match:
- Carabao Cup: Sheffield Wednesday will face Grimsby Town in the Carabao Cup, providing an opportunity for Pedersen to ring the changes and give further starts to academy graduates.
Pedersen’s Comments:
- “To lose again, we hate it… We’re here to win football games, and we’re here to leave Hillsborough with three points – or at least a draw.”
- “I can see that our general organised press was a big step ahead, we were well organised, but how we conceded our chances was about losing the ball in the half track – and we had problems.”
