Owls' Woes Deepen Amid Ownership Uncertainty
21 Jan
Summary
- Sheffield Wednesday set a club record of 21 league games without a win.
- Uncertainty over the club's future is affecting player performance, says coach.
- Birmingham secured their first away league win since October.
Sheffield Wednesday has extended their winless run to a club-record 21 league matches following a 2-0 home loss to Birmingham. This dismal sequence is the longest in the Championship era.
Manager Henrik Pedersen acknowledged that the persistent uncertainty regarding the club's ownership is impacting his squad. The team, already depleted by 14 injured players, is awaiting decisions from the English Football League (EFL) concerning potential new owners.
Pedersen praised his players' ability to perform under such challenging circumstances. Speculation is rife that key players, including captain Barry Bannan, may be sold before the January transfer window closes.
Birmingham's win, their first on the road since October 21, was a significant morale boost. Manager Chris Davies dedicated the victory to the club's dedicated traveling fans.
Japan striker Kyogo Furuhashi scored his first league goal for Birmingham on his 31st birthday, a moment celebrated by his manager and teammates.
