Danny Rohl has been told he could do something ‘ridiculous’ in Sheffield Wednesday’s final three games.
Sheffield Wednesday have left themselves fighting for their lives over the next few weeks after failing to beat Stoke City at the weekend.
The Owls briefly climbed out of the relegation zone after Liam Palmer opened the scoring, but their high spirits lasted only a matter of minutes before an equaliser dragged them back down again.
Danny Rohl‘s side still only sit a point away from safety, but they now face tough fixtures against Blackburn, West Brom and Sunderland to save their Championship status.
The German coach has done a brilliant job given how doomed the club looked under Xisco Munoz, but they have still spent a majority of the campaign in the bottom three and will now have to work a ‘miracle’ to avoid it at the last second.
Danny Rohl needs to perform a ‘miracle’
Ryan Dilks of the Second Tier Pod has hailed ‘unbelievable’ Rohl, but admits that he will have to do something ‘ridiculous’ to keep the Owls up.
Speaking on the podcast, Dilks said: “If they stay up from this stage then it’ll be ridiculous.
“Danny Rohl has done an unbelievable job this season, but he’s not a miracle worker. This may seem like it’s a bridge too far.
“There’s still hope as they do have a habit of pulling results out of nowhere, but it would be pretty ridiculous if they did stay up from this stage.”
Can Sheffield Wednesday pull off the ‘ridiculous’ challenge?
Sheffield Wednesday’s chances of staying up are undeniably bleak, but I wouldn’t go as far as to say avoiding the drop would be ‘ridiculous’.
This weekend’s opponents Blackburn are very unlikely to go down now after beating Leeds last time out, and they could potentially ease off and become complacent heading into their final three games.
If West Brom can cause an upset against Leicester on Saturday then their chances of finishing in the top six will look pretty comfortable, so their focus may turn to the play-offs.
Meanwhile, Sunderland have absolutely nothing to play for, and Wednesday will surely be targeting a big win on the final day of the campaign.
It will definitely be difficult, but the Owls are capable of picking up vital points in this final run-in. Though relying on the likes of Birmingham and Stoke to drop points could be risky.
