A fortnight ago, #SWFC played Middlesbrough in front of a near empty stadium.
Tonight, Hillsborough will be rocking with around 27,000 expected at S6.
Some turnaround.

Wednesday’s players are clapped off by the fans still inside of Hillsborough. They put a lot into that and you have to wonder how much they will have left in the tank for Saturday. Pedersen doesn’t have many options at his disposal to freshen things up. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Back at the Accu Stadium as #htafc host promotion rivals Bolton.
It’s early days in the Lee Grant era, but this already feels a biggie. A positive performance and result is required to lift the mood around the place.

Sheffield Wednesday are heading for an eighth defeat from their past 10 matches at Hillsborough (W1 D1). The manager needed way more help in the transfer market but didn't get it.
This dire situation is all on one man. #SWFC

Three defeats from four Championship matches for #SWFC. Conceded nine goals. Yet to score at Hillsborough.
The effort is clearly there from a threadbare squad but the quality isn't and that's down to one man and one man only.
Going to be a long old season. 🦉⚽️

Callum Paterson said his last couple of seasons at #SWFC were "tough".
🗣️ "I was going through a phase where I wasn’t enjoying it, turning up for training, playing and watching games, but I wasn’t enjoying myself.
“I needed to move on to find somewhere I’d have fun.”

It's totally wrong that Henrik Pedersen constantly has to answer questions on the wages situation and EFL talks.
Pedersen shouldn't be put in this position over and over again. It should be the owner fronting up on what the heck is going on behind the scenes. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Very small sample size but you’ve got to give Henrik Pedersen enormous credit for the way he has managed his limited resources in the early weeks of the season. You can see there’s a real togetherness among the squad and the backroom staff. So nice to see. #SWFC 🦉⚽️

Henrik Pedersen said he was “very proud” of his #SWFC players after their superb comeback vs Wrexham:
💬 “At 2-0 down they kept on going, the fight was there. The trust they had it shows our culture is strong and our players are ready to do everything for this club.” 🦉⚽️

What a gutsy, spirited second half fightback that is from #SWFC to earn their first Championship point of the season.
They needed Bailey Cadamarteri to step up and be the main man this season. So far, so good. That goal should do him a world of good. 🦉⚽️

Despite a farcical summer, thousands of #SWFC fans travelled to Bolton to cheer on a youthful team. There was a sold-out away following for Leicester.
You'd like to think prospective buyers would look at this week, see the club's enormous potential and fancy a piece of it. 🦉⚽️

Can #SWFC keep hold of Pierce Charles?
Henrik Pedersen told BBC Radio Sheffield: "I expect 100 per cent that we can keep him. He's an important part of our future and I have a big belief that we can keep him."
Charles was superb at Leicester. Still only 20. His ceiling is so high. 🦉⚽️

⚪️🔵 Calling it now, I think Owen Goodman could prove to be one of the signings of the season in League One. Commands his area well and is confident on the ball. Looks a top class young goalkeeper. Can see him keeping a lot of clean sheets. #htafc

When asked about Dejphon Chansiri on the The Sports Agents podcast, Chris Powell said: “He doesn’t sell players. He keeps them to the end of contracts, and they walk away. He was holding out for money for Danny [Röhl]. He was offered money (and) didn’t take it."
