Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl has set a challenge for his players to complete their remarkable escape by securing a positive result against Sunderland, which would potentially save them from relegation.
Despite being in the Championship’s bottom three for the majority of the season, Wednesday’s impressive unbeaten streak has brought them within one point of safety. Rohl, who is attracting interest from Sunderland for a permanent coaching role, has been instrumental in the club’s turnaround since assuming control in October.
However, Rohl remains cautious and emphasizes that the task is not yet finished. While Wednesday can rely on Birmingham or Plymouth failing to win to secure safety, they have the opportunity to ensure their own survival by earning a draw against Sunderland.
Rohl had hoped for Wednesday’s fate to be in their own hands for the final match at Sunderland, and his wish has been granted thanks to the team’s recent strong performances, including crucial wins against Blackburn and West Brom.
He expressed his optimism, stating, “I’ve always said that my wish was to go to Sunderland and still have a chance to stay in the league – now we’re in that position, and we have a big chance, a big opportunity.” However, he also stressed the importance of not squandering this chance, highlighting the need for the team to seize the moment and secure the necessary points for survival.
