Singing The Blues : Sheffield Wednesday Podcast

Wednesday have a week of being taught a few lessons on the pitch as Rooney runs the show for Derby then City's slickers control the cup tie. But what positives do we take from the second half against the Rams and some of the defending against the Champions? And most importantly, what can we take from those games into Brentford on Saturday? On Owlpinions we ask who you want to see in the Wednesday...

Same old story unfortunately. Wednesday fall to yet another defeat, this time at home to Reading. We pick apart the goals and try to figure out how we move forward.

Also Dom chats to Joey Pelupessy to get their players' take on what's going wrong, and his hopes for a new deal. Thank you to...

Strange case of Jekyll Wednesday - winning 2-1 at QPR - and Hyde Wednesday - losing 2-1 to a terrible Wigan team on Tuesday night.
